Lesson Plan

Teacher: Leticia Gil Ramos Age of Students 5-6 years old.
Name of Activity: Equivalences in our class

Type of Activity: Maths activity.
The Aim of The Activity :
1. Recognize the weight of different classroom objects.
2. Make comparisons and equivalencies with classroom objects.

3. Approach concepts: more than, less than…

Methods and Techniques: Globalized work. Manipulation as the main method of working
through play.

Material Used : Balance. Different materials such as: flour, sugar, sand. Clasroom
elements.Shelving to separate objects according to their weight greater than or less
than other.
Description of the Activity:
One morning in assembly we received an unopened package. When we unpacked it, we

saw that it was a new and different object. We have not seen it before. It was a balance.
Little by little and together we all began to imagine what it could do for. We manipulated
it and soon we could learn that it would be useful to measure the mass of class objects,
compare them and see which weighs more, which weighs less and their equivalents.

We selected different materials and were comparing their prices and classifying them
according to this unit of measurement. After that, the children were creating different
shelves with posters in which they were classifying the different objects according to
their weight and size.
