Mathematics Lesson Plan: First Week of School Procedures and Routines for Class Rotations

Grade Level

Reception / Kindergarten

Duration

30 Minutes

Objective

Students will learn and practice the procedures and routines of class rotations during mathematics activities, including how to transition between stations and understand expectations at each activity.

Materials Needed

• Chart paper and markers
• Picture signs for each math rotation (e.g., Counting Station, Shape Matching, Number Recognition)
• Math manipulatives (blocks, counting bears, shape cut-outs)
• Timer
• Worksheets for homework

Lesson Outline

Introduction (5 Minutes)

• Begin by welcoming students and introducing the concept of class rotations.
• Explain that they will be participating in different fun math activities today.
• Use visuals or a chart to show students where each math rotation station will be located.

Class Procedure Breakdown (10 Minutes)

• Demonstrate Rotations:

  • Explain the schedule and timing for each rotation (ex: 5 minutes at each station).
  • Show the students the signs for each station, introducing what they will be doing at each one.

• Transition Signals:

  • Teach students a signal (e.g., a bell or clapping hands) to indicate when it is time to move to the next station.
  • Practice the transition with the students while using a timer to illustrate how long they will be at each station.

Math Activity Rotations (10 Minutes)

• Station 1: Counting Station

  • Students will count blocks or counting bears.

• Station 2: Shape Matching

  • Students will match shape cut-outs to corresponding pictures on the wall.

• Station 3: Number Recognition

  • Students will practice identifying numbers using number cards.

• Rotate students through each station to give them a chance to experience all three activities.

Wrap Up (5 Minutes)

• Gather students back in a circle.
• Discuss what they learned at each station.
• Reinforce the importance of following procedures during rotations and moving respectfully.

Homework Assignment

Instructions

Complete the worksheet provided, which includes the following tasks:

1. Counting Exercise

   • Count the number of apples in the picture and write the number down.
   • Example: 🍏🍏🍏 (Students should write 3)

2. Shape Matching

   • Draw one shape from the paper below and write its name next to it.
   • Example: Draw a circle and write "Circle."

3. Number Recognition

   • Circle the numbers you recognize in the group below:
     • 1, 2, 5, 7, 9, 11 (Students should circle 1, 2, 5, 7, and 9).

Answers to Homework

1. Counting Exercise
   • Example answer: 3 apples
2. Shape Matching
   • Example answer: Circle
3. Number Recognition
   • Correctly identified numbers: 1, 2, 5, 7, 9

Conclusion

By the end of this lesson, students should feel comfortable with the rotation procedures and have a positive experience engaging with mathematical concepts through hands-on activities. Encourage them to share their excitement about math with their families at home!
