In this lesson, I will teach the number 15 in math while connecting it to other subjects. For English, we’ll practice the letter Ll by using words like ‘leaves’ and ‘ladybugs.’ For social studies, we’ll tie it to their ‘Diversity’ unit by counting 15 flags from different countries. This way, students learn numbers, letters, and cultural awareness together in a fun, hands-on way.

Introduction: You incorporated the letter "Ll" well and integrate different subjects to create an engaging lesson. To further enhance the number representation, consider using a 10-frame and math blocks alongside pictures. This will help students visualize numbers in multiple ways, strengthening their understanding and supporting different learning styles.

Three main activities ( Low- Medium - High)

Positive Aspect:

The activities are well-planned and fun. They help students learn the number 15 in a hands-on way, making learning more exciting and interactive.

Areas for improvement:

The activities could be improved by integrating other subjects, such as English. For example, students can describe their actions in full sentences, explain how they reached 15, or work together to find different ways to make 15. In English, they could form simple sentences like "I used blocks to build a tower of 15.”

S.M.A.R.T Goals

Your lesson outcomes are good, but they need to be more specific and time-bound to fully follow the SMART format. Try adding "By the end of the lesson" to make it clear when students should achieve the goals.

For example:

Instead of "Students will be able to identify the number 15," say "By the end of the lesson, students will find and point to the number 15 in a group of numbers."

Instead of "Students will be able to represent number 15 by tens and ones," say "By the end of the lesson, students will use blocks to show 15 as one ten and five ones."

Thank you for the great suggestion! To strengthen number sense, I will incorporate manipulatives like 10-frames and math blocks alongside pictures. This will help students visualize 15 concretely before moving to abstract representations. For example, I’ll build with them number 15 with blocks, then transfer that understanding to a 10-frame. This supports different learning styles and reinforces the concept effectively.

I love the idea of integrating English into math activities! To improve my integration strategy, I will modify my activities to include language practice. For example, I will use "ladybugs" and "leaves" to integrate the letter "Ll" and have students describe their process in full sentences, like, “I used 10 leaves and 5 ladybugs to make 15.” This reinforces both math and language skills.

Thank you for your helpful suggestion! I agree that making the goals more specific and time-bound will clarify expectations. For my action plan, I will revise the lesson outcomes to follow the SMART format by adding “By the end of the lesson” to each goal. For example, I’ll change “Students will represent 15” to “By the end of the lesson, students will use blocks to show 15 as one ten and five ones.” This ensures clarity and measurability.

During my practicum at First Academy in Ajman, I was placed in KG1A, a lively kindergarten class of 25 students from diverse backgrounds. I worked alongside my mentor teacher, Ms. Shazia, observing and assisting in daily lessons.

# data[].attributes.body
The KG1A classroom at First Academy was small and cramped, with limited space for proper learning centers or movement. The room had basic furniture like tiny chairs and tables, a small carpet area for circle time, and a few shelves holding minimal learning materials. Due to the lack of space, centers for reading, art, or play were either very condensed or nonexistent, requiring creative adaptation of activities. The walls had some educational posters and student work displays, but overall, the tight setup made it challenging to implement hands-on, center-based learning as ideally envisioned in early childhood education.
