LESSON ORGANISATION
Year Level: 3 Time: 11:35 Date: 08/05/2019 Students’ Prior Knowledge:

Learning Area: Math

Strand/Topic from the Australian Curriculum: - Students order shapes and objects using
informal units.
Create and interpret simple grid maps to show
- They draw two-dimensional shapes.
position and pathways (ACMMG065)
- Students interpret simple maps of familiar
locations.

General Capabilities (that may potentially be covered in the lesson)

Literacy Numeracy ICT Critical and Ethical Personal and Intercultural
competence creative thinking behaviour Social understanding
competence
Cross-curriculum priorities (may be addressed in the lesson)
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Asia and Australia’s engagement with Asia Sustainability
histories and cultures
Proficiencies: Fluency,
Lesson Objectives (i.e. anticipated outcomes of this lesson, in point form beginning with an action verb)

As a result of this lesson, students will be able to:

 Students will be able read maps.
 Students will be able to locate places and Items on a map using a grid system.

Teacher’s Prior Preparation/Organisation: Provision for students at educational risk:

- Teacher is to collect and provide students
with examples of maps.
- Teacher is to create a series of map
activities and add them to seesaw for the
students to complete.
- Teacher is to create a simple grid system
to help demonstrate to the students how to
read a map.
- A template for the students to create their
own map.
LESSON EVALUATION (to be completed AFTER the lesson)
- Students that have been identified at
educational risk will only be expected
to complete 2 of the seesaw activities.
Once the have finished the students
will be asked to create their own map.
The students will be given a number of
things they need to include in their
map. To make sure the students don’t
move onto the tasks meant for the
other students the extension tasks will
not be uploaded until the students are
ready to complete the task.

LESSON DELIVERY (attach worksheets, examples, marking key, etc, as relevant)

Resources/References
Motivation and Introduction:

1. Students will begin the lesson sat down at the front of the
class facing the teacher. The students will be introduced to the
lesson and asked what they had done in the previous
measurement & geometry lesson.

2. The teacher will recap the lesson and discuss with the other
students what they learnt.

3. The teacher will then introduce the topic of the lesson. To

motivate the students and provide the class with an
understanding of how to use grid coordinates the teacher will
show the students a grid system and how to read it.

4. The teacher will then invite the class to locate shapes and
images that have been placed on a grid system to help provide
the students with an introduction into the activities.

5. Once it is obvious the students have grasped how to use the

grid system the class will then be introduced to the seesaw
activities. The teacher will model each task and demonstrate one
last time how to read the grid system. To ensure all students
understand the task the teacher will ask individuals to repeat
each step.

Lesson Steps (Lesson content, structure, strategies & Key Questions):

1. Students will be instructed to retrieve their iPads from the box

Seesaw activities
and return to the desk. The students will be asked to come up
one group at a time so there isn’t any pushing or shoving.

2
2. Students will work through the activities, with the teacher
walking around the class to monitor student’s participation and to
provide any further explanation.

3. If students do not understand they will be invited back to the

map to work through the activity as a group. Extension activity.

4. Once students have completed the first two activities and are
ready for the extension task the teacher will share the activity to
the class.

5. Students that are identified as being at educational risk will be

provided with a map template once they have finished the first
two tasks. They will be asked
Lesson Closure:(Review lesson objectives with students)

1. To conclude the lesson the students will be instructed to finish

the Seesaw activity they are up to. They will then upload their
work for teacher’s approval.

2. To review the lesson the class will be brought down to the

mate and the students that have completed creating their maps
will be asked to share what they have done with the class. The
class will then be asked to find the grid coordinates of the things
they have included on their maps.

Assessment: (Were the lesson objectives met? How will these be judged?)

1. The students will be assessed on their ability to complete the

Seesaw tasks. Students will be expected to complete at least
two of the task. Students should be able to demonstrate their
ability to read grid coordinates and apply it to the assigned tasks.
