Worksheet activity*
Five trains travel from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to London
Central on the same morning. The Hufflepuff Express leaves Hogwarts station 6
minutes after the Gryffindor Goods Train, but arrives 14 minutes before the
Slytherin All-Stations Train. The Gryffindor Goods Train takes 46 minutes to
reach London Central and arrives at 8:53am. The Ravenclaw Express leaves 10
minutes after the Hufflepuff Express and arrives 14 minutes before the
Gryffindor Goods Train. The Muggle-stops train is running 6 minutes late on this
particular morning, and arrives in London Central at 8:37, after leaving
Hogwarts 4 minutes before the Hufflepuff Express. The Slytherin All-Stations
Train takes 33 minutes to travel from Hogwarts to Central London, and arrives
46 minutes after the Hufflepuff Express leaves Hogwarts.
Work out the train timetable for the 5 trains.

2.2 Engagement
1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – Comments: Most of the lesson appears participant to classroom activity could be improve by
5 asking students for sharing own experience. (e.g. Missed the train because they did not use
train timetable)
3 Significance
3.1 Background knowledge
1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – Comments: Results of the prior assessment from lesson 7 link to the students’ knowledge
5 And review the previous learning helps to achieve outcomes.
3.2 Cultural knowledge

5 different culture. (distance of two different country)
3.4 Inclusivity
1–2–3–4– Comments: Class discussion and participation allows students feel inclusivity and enhance
5 learning.
3.5 Connectedness

Academic Justification
The original lesson plan was well thought- out and comprehensive, the interpretation
of timetables is practical for the students in their lives and used on a daily basis and it
offers calculation understanding to work out transport timetables, however
improvement can be made to further address the Australian Professional Standards of
Teaching (APST), the NSW Quality Teaching Model (QT), and provide a deeper
understanding through the differentiation planning for gifted and students with
English as Additional Language or Dialect (EALD). Additionally, the cross-
curriculum themes pertaining to the environmental sustainability can be included in a
discussion about location and impact of transport.
The modification to the lesson plan included furthering standard 1.3 and 1.5 of the
APST in regard to students with diverse linguistic, cultural, religious and
socioeconomic backgrounds and differentiate teaching to meet the specific learning
needs of students across the full range of ability. Differentiated learning is based on
the needs of individual students (Handa,2013). Teachers are required to follow
syllabus, identify students and understand their level of understanding in order to
ensure the lesson is of the appropriate level. Schools provide special support and
adjustments to meet the needs of students with special educational needs and
management (NESA,2017)
Gifted and talented students need specific learning that require to appropriate level
because they are capable to learn faster and solve problems that other students might
not be able to and comparably, students with learning and behavioural difficulties
need an individual and differentiated lesson plan (NESA,2017). In modified lesson
plan provided, extension work of creating their own timetable had been provided for
students that were able to finish earlier.
Teacher motivate students to learn by demonstrating the value of the lesson and
how it impacts their life, the lesson plan sets a high expectation through their in-depth
understanding of the concept of the lesson in regard to the use of public transport
timetables. High expectations address the QT, however there is scope for making
higher-order thinking that could be address by engage students to critical thinking
about what the advantage or disadvantage of using public transport is. For students to
have high and deep knowledge, they need to understand the important concepts of
mathematics which include operations and relations, reading and analysing data, and
they also must provide and understanding of the mathematical symbols. One of the
most basic but important method in mathematics is for students to understand and be
able to use adding, subtracting multiplying and dividing appropriately, whether it is
calculated mentally or with paper and pencil (Checkley,2006). Students use their logic
to understand the relationship between concepts and situations which lead them to
navigate through the elements of a problem that they may come across and see how
they fit together.
The lesson plan involved students to work in a group which promote learning and
social support. (Johnson, David, 1984). Class discussions develop critical thinking
and positive attitude toward subject areas. More over research shown that competitive
and collaborative discussion in the class help students confidence and motivation
(Hoadley & Linn, 2000). The atmosphere of the class discussion should be formed in
such a way where students give respect to one another without discrimination and
prejudice that will address wellbeing of students (Ludwig & Gore, 2003).

Engaging is one of the most common techniques that teachers used as it is the key
to success in Mathematics (Checkley,2006). Involving students in class discussion
helps them to embrace their ideas that mathematics makes sense, they will have a
better understanding that learning mathematics would be needed and useful both
inside and outside school (Checkley,2006).
Another modification is interacting with other students and sharing stories with each
other, this will help them to understand real life situations and help them learn from
one another. According to several educational researchers’ life experiences can be
interpreted in to powerful narrative stories useful for both teaching and learning
(Kerl,2002).
The final major modification that is made to the lesson plan is moved the part of
the lesson that a teacher hand out result from prior assessment at the end of the lesson.
When students get their results, they begin discussing it and are distracted from tasks
given, thus handing the results at the end avoid the issue of the students being
distracted throughout the lesson. Assessing students and giving them feedback about
what they can improve on and practice would impact their future result (APST, 2017).
In addition, the completion the lesson plan made me realise the importance the
APST, QT, Syllabus and outcomes and how to integrate them together. Teachers need
to be aware of differentiation lessons and their student’s levels of learning, this
promotes the student’s wellbeing as much as learning, tracing back to the first
standard of the APST to know your student. As a future maths teacher, I need to
make an environment for the students where they can use mathematics concepts in
their life and solve problems with ease.
