Full lesson	Create for a teacher a set of content for giving a lesson, beginning with the lesson plan. Each new block of materials must begin with an H1 heading (other subheaders must be H2, H3, etc). When you describe required pictures, write those descriptions in curly brackets, for example: {A picture of a triangle}

Lesson plan

Lesson Plan: Standard and Non-standard Partitioning

Subject

Mathematics

Grade/Age Group

Year 3

Topic

Standard and Non-standard Partitioning

Lesson Length

30 Minutes

Class Size

20 Students

Objectives

Students will understand the concepts of standard and non-standard partitioning.
Students will be able to partition shapes and numbers using standard and non-standard units.
Students will demonstrate their understanding through a hands-on activity.

Materials

Whiteboard and markers
Paper shapes (circle, square, triangle)
Non-standard units (e.g., counters, blocks, or other classroom objects)
Worksheets for partitioning exercises
Coloured pencils
Rulers

National Curriculum Alignment

This lesson aligns with the Australian Curriculum for Mathematics, focusing on Number and Algebra, specifically partitioning numbers and shapes.

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length	Details
1	Introduction	5 minutes	Introduce the topic of partitioning. Provide definitions and examples of standard and non-standard partitioning. Explain the importance of partitioning in mathematics.
2	Guided Practice	10 minutes	Use whiteboard to demonstrate how to partition a shape with standard units (e.g., using a ruler). Then, show how to partition using non-standard units using classroom objects. Let students follow along.
3	Hands-on Activity	10 minutes	Students work in pairs to partition their own shape using both standard and non-standard units. Circulate the room to provide support and feedback.
4	Class Discussion	3 minutes	Discuss the different methods used by pairs to partition their shapes. Ask questions to facilitate discussion on their experiences and preferences.
5	Wrap-Up and Homework	2 minutes	Summarize the key points of the lesson. Assign homework: students complete a worksheet on standard and non-standard partitioning, which will be checked without presentations in the next class.

Homework

Students will complete a worksheet that includes exercises on both standard and non-standard partitioning. The completed homework will be reviewed by the teacher without the need for student presentations in front of the class.
