I would transform this developmentally hands-on experience into a Hands-on/Minds-on Dramatic Play Experience by applying mental action by engaging the children by asking “I want you to separate the food objects into specific groups either by color or kind, such as fruits, breads, proteins, veggies, sweets, and dairy. You will put the food in the correct bins which are all labeled. Then we will check to make sure they are all in the correct categories.” Another idea, to include minds-on dramatic play is making a grocery list which requests specific veggies, fruit, or utensils . For example, “I would like a green fruit, a yellow vegetable, and something healthy to drink. Can you find these for me?
Goal #1- Allows teachers to build and deepen

I would display tools used to measure objects such as a scale, tape measure, and ruler.
I would inform students about a scale which is used to weigh objects but doesn’t provide information on length, height, or width.
In addition, I would then discuss height, length, and width with students to provide definitions for each term. Next, I would inform them of measuring objects that are available to measure height, length, and width, which are rulers and measuring tape.
I would then separate children in two groups and have them sit at two different tables.
Table 1- includes a digital bathroom scale and a balance scale with a variety of objects available to weigh.
First, have all the children weigh themselves on the digital bathroom scale. They must write their measurements on a paper. We will than discuss which child was the lightest and the heaviest. In addition, we would use the scale beam to compare objects weight. For example, we would use an apple and coins, we would try to determine how many coins we would need to put on the scale to balance the scale so it matches the weight of the apple.
Table 2 includes measuring objects such as a ruler and measuring tape used to measure height, width, and

Piaget has played an important part in helping people understand more about children and the process of a child’s cognitive development. Throughout this lab report, there will be questions asked of two young children. The first child’s name is Makayla. She is 9 years old and has just started fourth grade. The first Piagetian task that was given to the children is referred to as the conservation of mass task. During this task, the children rolled two equal amounts of play dough into two separate balls. Afterward, Makayla was asked if these two separate balls had the same amount of play dough. She responded yes, because they came from the same container so they are the same amounts. The children were then asked to roll one ball of play dough into a snake. Afterward, Makayla was asked if the ball and the snake had the same amount of play dough. She replied yes, because its all still from the same size container so they are the same amounts. The second task that was asked of the
For this particular lesson I wanted to create a short activity. That focus on size and identify the differences in the dimensions. To be specific small, medium and large to be exact I will have them order objects on their own. Ill have a bag filled with different sized shapes I will then continue by asking the students about the sizes and what they notice the difforance
This study is performed on 2.5 year olds, and tests their ability to use their knowledge of the
Initially, I must state the context within which I have been working. The school I am based in is situated in urban area with just over three hundred children present. I am working in a year two class, consisting of thirty children. There is a broad range of abilities that presents its own challenges across the class, there is four SEN children to consider. In the class two SEN children have one-to-one TA’s and one is working from a different timetable from the rest of the school. My elicitation topic was chosen because it was a subject theme that the children had not yet learnt: Body Systems- Skeletal System. I decided to plan for my three profile children plus another child who is very interested in science, this was intended to create
With this mentally, children will not see cooking as a chore, but
Virtual manipulative tools are now also available for use in the classroom. It ranges from simple counting blocks to geoboards and tangram puzzles. Instead of reading about a math concept or working out a problem on paper, a student will work with a physical object to better understand what he/she is learning. The concrete representation is useful at all levels of math, from a preschooler using blocks to strengthen counting skills to an older student using fraction models to understand equivalent fractions.
The question that comes to mind is: how do I incorporate numeracy into a lesson and make this relevant to my ICT students?
As you explained in your post teaching measurement unit in Preschool is hands on and play way.
I believe that parents, caregivers, or anyone that has contact with a toddler should know about what nutrition they need and why local produce is better for the toddler. I choose toddler’s nutrition because in psychology class, we are studying their development, so something as simple as what fruits and vegetables they eat can affect all points throughout the toddler’s life. In addition, my sister is pregnant so as the aunt of the child, I feel I have the responsibility in helping my younger sister and teaching her nutrition for her baby. After researching, I know that feeding local produce to my niece or nephew when they become toddlers is vital and can, enhance their development. So let’s learn about toddle...
Scale of measurement is used to categorize and define numbers and variables in both quantitative and qualitative manner. There are four (4) scales of measurement : (Nominal, Ordinal, Interval, Ratio) which were used depending on the information that the data is intending to represent. Each scale tends to represent specific kind of information.
Door tags, these will be used later. When putting dimensions in your floor plan make sure they
In addition to measurable goals, instructional goals should always be purposeful. Students should be able to make real world connections in order to develop their critical thinking and problem solving skills. When these instructional goals or taught explicitly, they should be associated within functional context that will help the students understand the expected behavior and in which experiences it may occur. For example, incorporate students reading and understand the link of measurement by utilizing a recipe. Students will be able to associate food preparation between home and school and understand what form of measurement is utilized in regards to weight, capacity, and
Students will identify the correct how to find the area of circles. We are going to do this first by deriving the formula for the area of a circle ourselves. Students use these operations to solve problems. Students extend their previous understandings of finding the area of a shape: This learning goal meets the Common Core Standard CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.6.G.A.3. The students are going to learn find the area of only the doughnut, excluding the hole in the middle. For the formative assessments during the teaching of this unit, I will keep an observation log, where I note any student progress, whether it be positive or negative. I believe it will be important to record observations any time a student has difficulty with a particular task. For example, if a student has trouble solving the problems with the formulas. to purchase an item, I should write down particular actions, attitudes, and behaviors that stand out, as well as the specific issue. Any time the students are doing independent work, I will monitor the learning activities and record observations.
