(e.g. 1-@ / 2-@@ / 3-@@@ / …..etc).   -praise children who participated with stickers.    Learning Outcome(s):   Numeracy / REVIEW:   -Uses a variety of manipulatives to # 10.     Differentiation: (Mainly by asking questions):   High: Match numbers from (6-7). Mid: Match numbers from (3-5). Low: Match numbers from (1-4).
Small Group Activities: Time__20 minutes____
Description of activity 1: PART ONE: Monitored by____MCT______   The aim of this activity is to match the value with the digit and it is a differentiated product for high and low groups.   Differentiation: (asking questions and evaluate the product):   High: Do thump print/s to represent the value under the number (1-10) in an A4 sheet which has columns of digits from 1-10.   Mid: Do thump print/s to represent the value under the number (1-6) in an A4 sheet which has columns of digits from 1-6.   Low: Use the bingo markers to represent the value of the digit in each page of the accordion booklet.   The teacher will model each activity of both High and Low groups.   The teacher may ask children to write their names on the back of their work if they can (and she will dote their names if they can’t).   Some guided question  and instructions may occur during this activity such as:   -Find number …3 or 1 or ..etc. -How many prints you need to do? -Show me number 5 or 3 or 2 – use your fingers.   Learning Outcome(s):   Numeracy / REVIEW:   -Uses a variety of manipulatives to # 10.
Description of closing activity: Monitored by__MCT________   -The teacher asks the children who did the activity with her to get up and show their works and talk about it. (2 children from the high group and 2 children from the low group).   -The teacher gathers children in the circle area and sing the song “ 1,2,3”.   -The teacher praises the children who took part on this activity with stickers.   Learning Outcome(s): Numeracy / REVIEW:   -Uses a variety of manipulatives to # 10.
General Comments: (including:  documented evidence of learning; comments from MST, MCT and/or TA as appropriate)   This lesson is a review to the numerical outcome above but the only different aspect is that the activities are new to children as they are not been presented to children before.
Recommendations / future personal targets / areas of focus for next week   It is recommended to model the activity for the children step by step in order to avoid any mistakes in the final product. Because the children may understand the second language difficultly and because it may take them longer time to complete that task. Occasionally, some Arabic may be used during all phases of the lesson.
