Extension/RemediationStrategies:
Preparechallengingsheetsforstudentswhofinishedthequestioninadvance.
Students who have more difficulties with mathematical concepts will be working with the
teacherortheresourceteacheratlunchtime/recess.
Areasofconcernandpersonalobjectives:
Classroommanagement(Professionalcompetency6)
Goal:Makelessonengagingandgiveoutclearinstructions.
Strategies: Changingthe tone ofvoice,walking aroundwhile teaching.Explaintheconcept
using clear and concise language. Use modeling to clarify the instructions and connect the
concept to students background knowledge. Use positive (mostly verbal) reinforcement to
highlightgoodbehaviors.
Discipline
Goal:Useasmallamountofdisciplinestrategiestostopmisbehaviors.
Strategies:Cuemisbehaviors,standnexttothestudent.Pointatthepictogramsontheboardto
remindstudentsaboutourclassroomrules.
Timemanagement
Goal:Quicklyswitchupactivitieswhenstudentshaveahardtimefollowinginstructions.If

Differentiation:
Usebase10blocksandtheirvisualrepresentationstopresentanumber,thiswillhelpvisual

Verbal repetition of the instructions and modeling of the concept will allow students with
languagecodesorattentiondeficittofollowlessonandtograsptheconcept.
-Students who have difficulties in math will complete the Practise question
with the teacher or the tutor.
