Lesson 16

Representemos el salón con figuras

Warm-up: Conteo grupal: Contemos de 10 en 10 (10 minutes)

Narrative

The purpose of this warm-up is for students to count by 10 to 100. Although students see the written sequence of numbers, they are not required to identify numbers beyond 20 until Grade 1.

Launch

  • Display numbers from 1 to 100.
  • “Contemos hasta 100” // “Let’s count to 100.”
  • Point to the numbers as students count to 100.

Activity

  • “Ahora contemos de 10 en 10 hasta 100” // “Now let’s count to 100 by 10.”
  • Demonstrate counting by 10 to 100, pointing to each number as you count.
  • “Contemos todos de 10 en 10 hasta 100” // “Let’s all count to 100 by 10.”
  • Have students repeat the count multiple times.

Activity Synthesis

  • “Por turnos, cuenten de 10 en 10 hasta 100 con su pareja” // “Take turns counting to 100 by 10 with your partner.”

Activity 1: Hagamos un modelo del salón (15 minutes)

Narrative

The purpose of this activity is to make a model of the classroom using solid shapes (MP4). To do this, students need to:

  • choose important objects to represent.
  • decide which shapes to use to represent the objects.
  • place the shapes appropriately to represent where things are in the classroom.

The purpose of the activity synthesis is to share some of the objects students chose to represent and how they represented them.

Action and Expression: Internalize Executive Functions. Invite students to plan their model of the classroom. Ask students to think about what objects they are going to represent in their model and what solid shapes they will use to represent those objects.
Supports accessibility for: Organization, Conceptual Processing

Required Materials

Materials to Gather

Launch

  • Groups of 2
  • Give students access to solid shapes and geoblocks.
  • “Van a usar figuras sólidas para hacer un modelo del salón” // “You are going to use solid shapes to make a model of the classroom.”
  • “Piensen en qué objetos quieren representar y cómo los van a representar” // “Think about which objects you want to represent and how you will represent them.”

Activity

  • 10 minutes: independent work time
  • As they work, allow students to walk around the classroom so that they can look at objects they want to represent.

Advancing Student Thinking

If students are unsure which objects in the classroom to represent, consider asking:

  • “Si tuvieras que contarle algo sobre tu salón a alguien que nunca lo ha visitado, ¿qué le dirías?” // “If you had to tell someone about our classroom who has never been here before, what would you tell them?” 
  • Choose one object and ask “¿Como podrías representar _____ con las figuras sólidas?” // “How could you represent _____ with the solid shapes?”

Activity Synthesis

  • Invite selected students to share their classroom models.
  • “¿Cuáles objetos del salón de clase representó ___?” // “Which objects in the classroom did ___ represent?”
  • “¿Qué figura usó ____ para representar un pupitre?” // “What shape did ____ use to represent a desk?”

Activity 2: Agreguemos cosas o cambiemos el modelo del salón (15 minutes)

Narrative

The purpose of this activity is for students to revise their classroom models. Students go on a gallery walk to see the models of their classmates. Describing their model to their peers and seeing other models helps students develop ideas for how to add to or change their model (MP3).

MLR8 Discussion Supports. During the Gallery Walk, invite students to ask “¿Qué me pueden contar sobre el modelo? ¿Qué representan las figuras?” // “Can you tell me about your model? What do the shapes represent?” This gives all students an opportunity to produce language.
Advances: Conversing

Required Materials

Materials to Gather

Launch

  • “Cuando un compañero vea su modelo, cuéntenle todo sobre él y lo que las figuras representan” // “When a classmate comes to your model, tell them all about your model and what the shapes represent.”

Activity

  • Invite half of the class to stand by their models while the other half walks around.
  • 5 minutes: gallery walk
  • Switch groups.
  • 5 minutes: gallery walk
  • “¿Hubo cosas que vieron en los modelos de sus compañeros que les hayan dado una idea sobre cosas para agregar o cambiar en su modelo?” // “Were there any things that you saw in your classmates’ models that gave you an idea for things you want to add to or change about your model?”
  • 1 minute: quiet think time
  • 2 minutes: partner discussion
  • Share responses.
  • “Trabajen en su modelo” // “Work on your model.”
  • 4 minutes: independent work time
  • Monitor for changes students make to their models including changing the shapes that they use, changing the relative position of the shapes, or putting in more shapes to represent additional features.
