Risk Assessment:
Possibility of students
misusing mathematic
equipment, however, risk of
injury is low.
Resources:
White board, pencils, workbook, class set of
2d shapes, blu-tac, worksheet with fluency
tasks.
Adjustment:
Braille writer and/or computer, 2d shapes
of differing colours ( tactile dot or square
stickers on them for easy identification).,
modelling clay.
Braille version of worksheets for fluency
tasks.
Teaching Strategy: Direct Instruction. (Teacher-directed explicit instruction, guided pair share, guided independent practise, review).
Adjustment: Possibility of
tripping hazards if furniture
is moved or items placed in
the safe walking zone.
Class Organisation: Whole class instruction. Seating: set table groups of four (two tables). Pairs for fluency tasks.

As you put the equation on the board, verbalise what you are doing. Eg. Two squares plus
one square equals how many squares.

* You can do the same with subtraction: repeat the above examples, changing the numbers
and shapes and the addition symbol to a subtraction symbol.
Eg.

4t - 2t = 2t
* Have students work in pairs to complete the second set of practise exercises from their
text book. Check answers in back of book.
* Ask each pair to give feedback regarding correct/incorrect answers. Ascertain and
correct any misunderstandings. Be sure to work with individual students who need more
assistance during individual work time.
* Students to work through the set of exercise in the text book. Self correct answers from
back of book.
Conclusion (approx. 10 mins): Discuss with students any issues that arose whilst
working through the text book. Note any issues to review at the beginning of next lesson.
Review - Play like terms bingo (game cards attached- appendix A).
Transition to next lesson: Explain to students that the next lesson will be expanding on the knowledge that they gained during this lesson to explore
associative and distributive laws.
