Teaching Strategies: (the actual lesson- how will you start it, break it down,
time management) small activities to fill in small amounts of time to keep the
class from losing concentration.
How will the lesson and ideas be introduced and made relevant to the students?
To introduce this lesson, the question on 'What is a budget' will be asked to the
students. After answers the correct answer will be given followed by instructions for
activity. The students will be told that they are hosting a party and need to supply all
the food. They have a budget of $200 and will need to select proper food and drink to
cater for the whole class. There must be a variety of snacks, drinks and main meals.

the activity and give them a good starting point.

to manage difficult behaviours?
It will be crucial to break up the students who will not work correctly or
complete the activity.
I will need to remain in top of the students to ensure they do not get away with
anything.
During the lesson, I will roam around the classroom to ensure everyone is still
doing the right thing.
How will you draw ideas together and conclude the lesson?
We will conclude the lesson by coming back together and seeing which group was
able to get as close as possible to the budget of $200. This given all students the
ability to see how each accomplished it while having a range of food items.
Resources, Materials and Organisation: (Need to have all planned beforehand, not
good to leave a class halfway - duty of Care)
For this activity, students will need access to a supermarket catalogue which will be supplied for them.
They will also need maths books and pencil cases.
Assessment: (taking notes on the students when they are doing work - notes on what
they need to work in writing, etc.)

At the end of the lesson, we will be able to see what the students accomplished
throughout and will have a clear view if they were able to successfully complete lesson.
