For student who need an extending prompt, they will

LESSON EVALUATION (to be completed AFTER the lesson)
Assessment of Lesson Objective and Suggestions for Improvement:
Step 1: Making 10
11:21am The teacher will explain that there are many different ways to make ten and
demonstrate some of these on the board using ten frames.
Demonstration:
Teacher draws these combinations on the board for students to see:
0 and 10, 1 and 9, 2 and 8, 3 and 7, 4 and 6, and 5 and 5. Understanding
11:23am According to the Zoo Keeper, there has to be ten animals in each enclosure.
Students will be given a ten frame each with animals on them filling a certain
portion of the frame. The students must find the person who has the
remaining number of animals to make their enclosure full. Problem Solving

Demonstration: Teacher will demonstrate an example of a ten-frame
partitioned into 3 and 7. “If I have 7 animals in my ten-frame, how many
more do I need to make ten? 1, 2, 3. So my partner will have three animals
in their ten-frame.”
11:28am
Once students have found their partner, they need to retrieve a recording
sheet from the teacher and choose a desk to sit at. The teacher will then
explain the first two questions and guide the students in answering them.
Students will then be asked to re-join the mat with their partner.
11:36am
Step 2: Making collections.
When students re-join the mat, the teacher will then explain that the
students need to help the Zoo Keeper find the group their animals belong in
using the Perth Zoo map to demonstrate. Students will either be in the:
- Australian Bushwalk group
- Australian Wetlands group
- Asian Rainforest group
11:38am - African Sahara group
The teacher will tell the students which animals belong to each group to help
them find the rest of their group.
For example: In the Australian Bushwalk group live the Kangaroos, Dingo,
Kookaburra’s, Wombats and Numbats.
Once students have found their group they will find a desk to sit at with their
group. They will need their recording sheet, their iPad, their pencil and their
ten-frame.
In their group’s students need to place all their ten frames together so they
can see how many full ten frames they have. Problem Solving
3
A) How many animals did you take away?
B) How many animals are left in the group in total?
Demonstration: Teacher will display on the board the number 40 using ten
frames. “If there are 4 full ten frames in my group, and my ten-frame had 6
animals, how many animals would I be taking away from the total number of
animals in my group? Let’s look at how many are left in the ten-frame, 4, so
now I know I have 3 full ten-frames and a ten-frame with four one, so my
total number of animals is now 34.” Understanding
11:47am From this picture, they need to work out how many animals they took away
from the collection and how many animals in total are left in the collection.
Fluency
11:52am
Students will then be asked to return to the mat with their ten frames,
recording sheet, clipboard and pencil.
11:53am
The students will then be asked to form a circle on the mat. One by one
students will place their ten frames in pairs on the floor under their group
heading (set up by the teacher). This will create a display of all of the
animals in the Zoo.
From this the teacher will be able to demonstrate the total number of
enclosures and the total number of individual animals in the Zoo which will
give students the answers to questions 7 and 8 on their recording sheet.
Students will also be able to see the different ways to make 100 from this
visual representation. The teacher will ask the students how they have made
one hundred – (3 x 10 + 2 x 10 + 3 x 10 + 2 x 10) so they can understand
that is a way of partitioning. Understanding
The teacher will remove one of the full ten frames from the display, as if the
‘Kangaroo’s weren’t found’ and ask the students how many animals were
4
subtracted from the total, how many animals were left in the Zoo, and how
many enclosures were left in the Zoo. Understanding
The teacher will do the same with addition and three more ones to the total.
The students will then be asked how many animals are there in total, how
many enclosures there are in total and whether all the enclosures are full.
Understanding
The teacher will then re-explain how when you take an amount away from a
ten frame you can clearly see the tens and ones still left in the collection.
Demonstration: Teacher has 3 full ten frames on the board and shows “if I
subtract four, I can see that there are still six ones and two tens left, so I
know that my total number is 26”
Students will need to hand in their recording sheets, return their belongings
12:05pm to their desks and line up with their hats at the door ready to go to Physical
Education.
Assessment: (Were the lesson objectives met? How will these be judged?)
