Lesson Plan: Time Conversion and Measurement for Grade 4 Students

This document presents a detailed lesson plan designed for Grade 4 students at Victoria Primary School, focusing on time conversion. The lesson aims to teach students how to convert between different units of time, specifically seconds, minutes, and hours, aligning with the Victorian Curriculum Level 4 standards for Measurement and Geometry. The plan includes clear goals, success criteria, and considerations for differentiation, addressing various learning styles and student needs, including those with EAL, gifted students, and ADHD. The lesson incorporates a variety of teaching methods, such as whole-class instruction, group activities, and individual support, utilizing visual aids like clocks and charts. Assessment strategies include formative and summative assessments, focusing on measuring, and applying time conversion skills. The plan also provides a list of key vocabulary, assessment tasks, and references to relevant curriculum documents. The teacher utilizes a variety of resources including charts, books, and clocks to aid in student understanding. The lesson is designed to be interactive and engaging, promoting cooperative learning and student reflection.

Differentiation
This involves designing lesson plan based on student style of
learning. I identified that each student has his or her unique learning
style. The students were thus grouped according to their ability to
handle the assignment, the topic was also put into consideration and
the shared interest among the students(Widjaja et al, 2017). I assessed
my students’ learning traits through the use of formative assesment. I
also managed my class or students in order to establish a safe as well
as supportive learning environment(Widjaja et al, 2017). I went ahead
to progressivelly assess and at the same time adjusting the content of
the lesson to duly meet every student need. I made sure to match the
vocabulary words applicable in the lesson to their definitions. I also
made a presentation as visual learning is easily understood by student
and recalled more. Student were involved in actual measurement
using measuring instrument in this case watches and clocks to easily
analyse and hence convert time from unit to the other ithout much
struggle. Student being at level four were capable to apply and

analyze the time conversion problems. For supportive resources,as
the teacher, I provided for physical as well as psychological
elements; I offered each group a clock and made them charts.I also
read through the books together with the students for clarity and ease
of understanding the English vocabularies used in the context(Widjaja
et al, 2017). This is because English is an additional language (EAL)
to my student thus explanation and clarity is significant for clear
understanding of the concept by the class. As a teacher,I made the
lesson a social affair, this was to enhance cooperative learning for a
successful of the session. I grouped the students in such a way that
those with a better mastery (gifted students), I encouraged them to
assist the others in their group. I tried as much as possible to make
class lively to ensure the few with Attention-deficit/hyperactivity
disorder(ADHD) (Widjaja et al, 2017), I win their attention for the
success of the lesson.

Key Vocabulary
Scales (Measurement)
Unit of measurements
Conversion of Units
Time
System of measurement (Victorian
Curriculum, 2006).
Assessment
What are these tasks?
Magnitude, help the student to
quantify the time in seconds,
minutes, hours, days, weeks,
months and years.
Measuring, assist the student be
able to convert through the
various time formats .
Teach students on approaches to
mastery of different units of
times for ease of solving any
problem they face.
Assist student read scales of
time on the clock to have a clear
picture of what make a minute ,
an hour all the way to an year.
