Lesson Plan

Year Level: Duration of lesson: Learning area/s:

Prep
60 minutes Maths
Relationship to Unit Plan: Week 6 – lesson 1

Key inquiry question: What numbers can we use to make the number 6?

Year level description: (highlight the specific key ideas of science and/or technology)

The proficiency strands understanding, fluency, problem-solving and reasoning are an integral part of mathematics content across the three
content strands: number and algebra, measurement and geometry, and statistics and probability. The proficiencies reinforce the significance of working
mathematically within the content and describe how the content is explored or developed. They provide the language to build in the developmental
aspects of the learning of mathematics. The achievement standards reflect the content and encompass the proficiencies.

At this year level:

• understanding includes connecting names, numerals and quantities

• fluency includes readily counting numbers in sequences, continuing patterns and comparing the lengths of objects
• problem-solving includes using materials to model authentic problems, sorting objects, using familiar counting sequences to solve unfamiliar
problems and discussing the reasonableness of the answer

reasoning includes explaining comparisons of quantities, creating patterns and explaining processes for indirect comparison of length.

Year level achievement standard/s: (highlight the specific section)

By the end of the Foundation year, students make connections between number names, numerals and quantities up to 10. They compare objects
using mass, length and capacity. Students connect events and the days of the week. They explain the order and duration of events. They use
appropriate language to describe location.
Students count to and from 20 and order small collections. They group objects based on common characteristics and sort shapes and objects. Students
answer simple questions to collect information and make simple inferences.

Student Prior knowledge: (specific relevant concepts, skills and values the school students have experienced prior to this lesson):

Early Years Learning Framework

• Outcome 4: Children are confident and involved learners

- Children develop a range of skills and processes such as problem solving, 38 inquiry, experimentation, hypothesising,
researching and investigating

- Students have an understanding of the language and terms being used throughout this lesson

Learning intentions:

We will understand that there are many ways to make the number 6.

Strands of the learning area: Content Descriptors (include codes)

Number and Algebra → Connect number names, numerals and quantities, including zero, initially up to 10 and then
