Lesson Plan : Classification by 3 Attributes
Teacher Name: | Jennifer Matlack |
Grade: | Grade 1 |
Subject: | Math |
Topic: | Classification by 3 Attributes |
Content: | Sort and Classify |
Goals: | Sort and classify objects by three attributes |
Objectives: | The student will sort objects by classifying according to shape, size and color. |
Materials: | attribute cards showing various shapes that different colors and sizes, attribute map |
Introduction: | I will divide the class into separate groups according to a given attribute (i.e. boys/girls, shoe types, color of shirt). The children will have to guess why certain students are in certain groups. |
Development: | The students will look at the attribute cards. They will divide the cards according to their attributes. We will divide by color, then size, then shape. |
Practice: | I will introduce the attribute map. As a group we will complete a pathway with their cards according to how many attributes they must be different. For example, if there are 2 line connected the path stepping stone then the student must put down a card that is different in 2 ways. |
Accommodations: | My group will only consist of gifted students. We will be working with 3 attributes rather than only 2 attributes as stated in the NC curriculum. If needed, a partner may be enlisted to help. |
Checking For Understanding: | I will monitor continually the progress of each student. If there is an error, I will have them start again from that point. Otherwise, I will give verbal affirmation to let them know they are on track. |
Closure: | We will sum up the definition of an attribute. We will line up according to given attributes (i.e. The students with jeans, tie shoes and brown eyes may line up.) |
Evaluation: | The teacher will note how much of the attribute map was completed. |
Teacher Reflections: | I will think about what areas may have stumped a child. In the past, I�ve noticed that the students usually do better with this activity with a partner, rather than alone or in a group (small enough for some discussion but not really lost/isolated) |
