ANNOTATION, REFLECTION AND NARRATIVE ON THE LESSON PLANS
ANNOTAIONS:
Lesson Plan 1:
Introducing students to the concept of ‘capacity’, as the lesson objective demonstrates
alignment with the Australian Curriculum Achievement Standards for Year 1.
Active and Inquiry Based approach has been demonstrated through the instructions. For
example, asking students to give thumbs up and thumbs down to show which object can hold
something.
This pedagogical approach is appropriate for the Year 1 students learning math because it
allows them to involve actively in the learning rather than just listening and observing the
teacher.
Asking students to compare containers such as glass, showing them p/p slide images of
capacity and asking questions about the size variations bring out the literacy and numeracy
abilities of the students.
Lesson Plan 2:
Coherency between the lesson plans is demonstrated in the lesson objective where
students are expected to demonstrate knowledge of capacity by comparing containers.
The fourth instruction in this lesson plan demonstrates the pedagogical practice of
creating the conditions for group work and planning activities that have clear learning goals
The underlying perspective here is to encourage peer-to-peer interaction and
collaboration to let students value and respect each other’s work

ANNOTATION, REFLECTION AND NARRATIVE ON THE LESSON PLANS
The numeracy learning abilities of the students are explored by making them measure
spoon/cup of sand and their literacy learning needs are addressed by asking the students to record
their measurements in the sheet of paper
Lesson Plan 3:
Use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is demonstrated in the lesson
plan where students are shown video clips demonstrating capacity. ICT tools help improve
traditional pedagogical approaches and incorporate a ‘learner-centric’ learning environment.
The lesson plans aligns with the Australian Curriculum Year 1 content descriptions for
Measurement and Geometry where students’ ability to measure and compare the capacities are
explored.
The lesson plan incorporates peer-to-peer collaboration and instructional learning which
is evident from the assessment or differentiated learning considerations.
The literacy and numeracy learning needs of the students are met in the lesson plan by
asking them to keep count of the number of cubes needed to fill a container with unifix cubes.
REFLECTION:
Lesson Plan 1:
Throughout the first lesson plan, I have made use of real life objects like different
containers and vessels to let them understand the concept of capacity. The active and inquiry
based learning requires students to engage in learning process by actively participating and not
just listening. I would have explained clearly the instructions in clearly demarcating the
‘capacity’ from other terms.
