What kinds of learning activities have you planned or implemented in your class and why?

Activities are a wonderful way to show kids that learning can be fun

you can use

Pattern Activities

 Shapes Activities

Measurement Activities 

Some among others would be: 1.Preparation:l as a teacher have got to know what l am going to teach so l have to lay it out in some order(which l find logical)

2.Teacher talking time(TTT) l have to bring pupils to reality,what are we going to dwell on.This puts them in the picture and sheds light on the teacher as to to whether l have under-estimated or over-estimated my pupils in the given area.

3.Discussions: These can either be in pairs groups of three, four or any number depending on how big the class l have is.

4.Reports back: An essential element to test how they worked as a team and also how far they grasped the idea or concept of the day.

5. Consolidation/summary:usually done by teacher summing the main ideas or it can come in form of a written exercise or some project children should do.

Without constraints or limitations, and activity that serves my objects I will use.

A lesson plan is the instructor’s road map of what students need to learn and how it will be done effectively during the class time. Before you plan your lesson, you will first need to identify the learning objectives for the class meeting.  Then, you can design appropriate learning activities and develop strategies to obtain feedback on student learning. A successful lesson plan addresses and integrates these three key components:

• Objectives for student learning
• Teaching/learning activities
• Strategies to check student understanding

Specifying concrete objectives for student learning will help you determine the kinds of teaching and learning activities you will use in class, while those activities will define how you will check whether the learning objectives have been accomplished .

Below are six steps to guide you when you create your first lesson plans. Each step is accompanied by a set of questions meant to prompt reflection and aid you in designing your teaching and learning activities.

(1) Outline learning objectives

The first step is to determine what you want students to learn and be able to do at the end of class. To help you specify your objectives for student learning, answer the following questions:

• What is the topic of the lesson?
• What do I want students to learn?
• What do I want them to understand and be able to do at the end of class?
• What do I want them to take away from this particular lesson?

Once you outline the learning objectives for the class meeting, rank them in terms of their importance. This step will prepare you for managing class time and accomplishing the more important learning objectives in case you are pressed for time. Consider the following questions:

• What are the most important concepts, ideas, or skills I want students to be able to grasp and apply?
• Why are they important?
• If I ran out of time, which ones could not be omitted?
• And conversely, which ones could I skip if pressed for time?

•  Plan the specific learning activities (the main body of the lesson)

  Prepare several different ways of explaining the material (real-life examples, analogies, visuals, etc.) to catch the attention of more students and appeal to different learning styles. As you plan your examples and activities, estimate how much time you will spend on each. Build in time for extended explanation or discussion, but also be prepared to move on quickly to different applications or problems, and to identify strategies that check for understanding. These questions would help you design the learning activities you will use:

  • What will I do to explain the topic?
  • What will I do to illustrate the topic in a different way?
  • How can I engage students in the topic?
  • What are some relevant real-life examples, analogies, or situations that can help students understand the topic?
  • What will students need to do to help them understand the topic better?

I agree with the answer of Delia Haque.
