Exploring Apples: A HighScope Mathematics Adventure

Learning Objective

At the end of the lesson, you will be able to identify and describe the attributes of apples, count apple quantities, and sort apples based on different characteristics.

What do you already know about apples?

Slide 1: Introduction

Welcome to our apple adventure! Today, we will explore the world of apples and learn math concepts along the way.

Slide 2: Apple Attributes

Apples come in different colors, sizes, and shapes. They can be red, green, or yellow. Some apples are big, while others are small. Let's explore these attributes together!

Slide 3: Counting Apples

Counting apples is a fun way to practice math! Let's count the apples on the tree and see how many we have.

Slide 4: Sorting Apples

Just like people, apples have different characteristics. Let's sort the apples based on their color and size.

Slide 5: Apple Tasting

Let's explore different apple flavors! We will taste red, green, and yellow apples and share our observations.

Slide 6: Graphing Favorite Apples

Now, let's create a graph to show our favorite apple preferences. We will use different colors to represent each type of apple.

Slide 7: Apple Art

Let's get creative and make apple art! We can use apples as stamps to create beautiful patterns and designs.

Slide 8: Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully explored the world of apples and learned various math concepts. Keep practicing your math skills and enjoy eating apples!

Write down 3 things you learned in this lesson.

Have students enter three things they learned in this lesson. With this they can indicate their own learning efficiency of this lesson.

Write down 2 things you want to know more about.

Here, students enter two things they would like to know more about. This not only increases involvement, but also gives them more ownership.

Ask 1 question about something you haven't quite understood yet.

The students indicate here (in question form) with which part of the material they still have difficulty. For the teacher, this not only provides insight into the extent to which the students understand/master the material, but also a good starting point for the next lesson.
