Yahoo..another new input-"Lesson Plan!"

Today was a great day. We had learnt about lesson plan and the criteria that made up a good Mathematics Lesson Plan.

A lesson plan is truly an important asset for a teacher as it allows the teacher to gauge the lesson the teacher is planning for the targeted learners as well as is able to fine tune the lesson as the teacher plans on.

Therefore, it is crucial that every teacher MUST have a good lesson plan.
So, just like a Chef needs the best and apt ingredients for his or her own cooking,

a teacher also needs the necessary "ingredients".

Hence, to learn to be the BEST, one must learn from the BEST!

Thus, in the lesson of the day, we learnt a good model of Mathematics Lesson Plan, which is the "7 Step Lesson Plan" by Madeline Hunter.
This is a very good model lesson plan as it consists of 7 important elements for a good lesson plan!
Therefore, this is a very good guide for us to base upon when we write our Mathematics Lesson Plan.

The ironies to Madeline Hunter's "7 Step Lesson Plan" are that Madeline Hunter did not come out with 7 steps but more than 7 elements which she deemed important and crucial. However, these elements were misinterpreted and packaged into a "7 Step Lesson Plan". Besides that, Madeline did not mentioned that every lesson plan must contained all elements. Adding on, there is also misconception that the first few steps within the "7 step" is more important as compared to the rest. However, Madeline empasised that all elements are equally important.

Nevertheless, this Madeline Hunter's "7 Step Lesson Plan" is very vital and popular choice for writing a GOOD lesson plan.
