Key vocabulary with definitions (and pictures if appropriate):
word
Measurement

glossary definition

A number that shows

the size or amount of
something.
Usually the number is
in reference to some
standard
measurement, such
as a meter or
kilogram.
Here some scales are
used to measure
weight.

ruler

straight lines and
measure distances.
This ruler is marked
in cm (centimeters)
along the top
and inches along the
bottom.

Measuring tap

Is a flexible ruler. It
consists of a ribbon of
cloth, plastic, fiber glass,
or metal strip with linearmeasurement markings.

Long Lesson Plan for 2 observed lessons

Lesson Schedule
Math language: teacher focus in math words, such as : measure, weight , length, tall,
scales, measuring tape.
Teacher questions:
What do we mean by measurement?
Who can tell me anything about measurement?
Grouping students: students will work in small groups.
Engage (warm up, review prior knowledge):
Introducing the lesson by discussing a student trying to measure her classmate.
(appendix 1)
What do you think Maysha is trying to do?
Why did she do that?
What did she used ?

time:
10:min
s

Measuring Penny by LoreenLeedy( story video ).

Kindly see appendix 2
Core (introduce and practice new concepts & procedures):
Teacher will organize different activities. (The main focus is the inquiry, and providing
the opportunity materials to explore, discus and reflect . Teachers will be around to ask
and assist students).

25mins

1- For low ability (measuring length of 4 men by using ruler). Appendix 3

2- For medial ability (students will measure their weight by using scales).
Appendix 4
3- For high ability students will use measuring tap to measure their friends, and the
question here, is there any other way to measure your friend?
(See appendix 5)
Close (wrap up, discussion, brief review activity or assessment):
During the activities, students asked to measure their weight and tall.
By the end of the activity they need to tell their teacher one thing that they learned
from the activities.
Students needs to arrange themselves depends on their (length) by looking on the
cards
(See appendix 6) from the tallest one to the shortest one.

Cards: Students used their notes to arrange themselves from the
tallest to the shortest by using the recorded information.

Measuring Tape: a tool used to measure students length.

Activity four:

Thermometer provided for all students, as extra

tool, to let students experience it as introducer for the way how to
measure the temperature.

Feedback of MST :

. Reflection on teacher feedback of my first lesson

What can you say about your lesson ? this question was asked by
.my MST about my first lesson plan
I said : I like it, and the lesson managed as I planned , as I saw , I
did very well in the lesson . Because the teacher can notice that ,
whenever she asks her students any question, she could find a
respond and answer from most the students, the rest of the class
might be the low ability students , who might have the answer , but
.they do not how to explain or describe
I focused on balancing between what are the requirement of the TP,
and the main learning objective of PYP curriculum the " inquiry" .
the main important concept is to provide students an issue and
materials and they need to discover, describe , and learn from what
.they experienced
As I noticed that my MST is dividing the lesson to three different
stages : introducing , applying and reflecting. As I experienced as
mathematical teacher I need to present my students different
representation methods (iconic, symbolic and enactive). By sudden
event one of my students was measuring the length of one of the
classmate, I took pictures for her while she is drawing him on the
?board, then she wrote numbers to know how tall is he
I asked this student to explain for them what she was trying to do?
?Why? And how
That was my introduction for the lesson .Then I shoed my students
a video story, and whenever I found any important point of
something to be explained or discussed I stop the video and ask my
.students some questions regarding it

After, I said my instruction , then they moved to different centers ,

where they need to experience measurement tools, during that
students requested to note down their length and weight by using
the materials, that took about 25 minutes . Later I asked all of them
to come and share their knowledge , and tell me just one thing that
. they learned it today
As reflection, by using the cards ,they need to arrange themselves
from the tallest to the shortest one . and they did it other two
mistakes. On the other hand, my class has more than one student
who are special needs , which requested more attention from
.teacher , in addition that most of the class are boys
I had only one issue, that I used thermometer as one of
measurement tools, and for that I requested the assistant to bring
hot water and to be careful, and keep that away of students, but
unfortunately ,she left hot water for students to play with it by
themselves. So I change it to warm water so they can use it
My MST asked me about it, and I told her, that
before starting the lesson I told the assister to be careful with it,
.but that what happened from her side
