2. INTRODUCTION
I am doing the course 'L'ensenyament de l'anglès a l'educació primària' in Odissea, a virtual
training web. We have done a lot of interesting activities and in the last module we have to do a
project related to CLIL. CLIL means Content and Language Integrated Learning, so a way of
teaching and learning content with a non mother language.
My school doesn't have this kind of project, so we don't work with CLIL. That's why I have done an
easy lesson and I have choosen Maths for initial cycle. I had to prepare the children for this new
methodology, because it not just Maths in English.
You can see four lessons for this unit called Couting. I've applyied two of them. The first lesson
'Let's to know' , is separated by two parts, both helps to review the background information to
parctice the language of learning and language for learning. In the lesson two 'IXL ressource', we
tryed all together for the first time http://eu.ixl.com/. Where we've practiced counting. Then, in
lesson three 'Let's go!', they practice the resource for their own on the computer. Finally, in lesson
four 'I can do it!', they create their own activity in a paper and they show and explain to the
classmates. I didn't finish to apply the last two lessons because of the time and the situation, but I
will.
Just enjoy!

-Identify the numbers and the geometric shapes
-Count, add and substract
-Understand the instructions
-Use in a good way the digital resource
-Communicate the answer
Competencies involved:
-Communicative: linguistic and audiovisual.
- Methodological:
a) Information process and digital competence
b) Mathematic competence
c) Learn to learn
- Personal: Autonomy and personal initiative.
-Social
Assessment:
-First: Check if they understand the language of learning
and the language for learning by asking in class.
-Second: check if they understand how it works the
interactive resource.
- Third: check the results in the computer. (not possible)

Activity 1: Let's to know!
5. First part
The first day, I explain to them how is going to work the lesson. After, we practice the numbers and
the new geometric shapes.
First, I show the geometric shapes and they repeat after me. Then, I show it and they say the
geometric shape. When it's clear they go to the blackboard by 5 and do a competition. Let me
explain. I say:
− Number 3, 10, 8... (I say 3 numbers, one by one). They write it as fast as possible and
correct, the winner get one point with each number.
− Later I say: draw 7 circles, 4 ovals, 10 squares... ( I say 3 examples, one by one, and they
win a point if they are the winner).
We did this part of the activity in 1hour because all the pupils did the activity. They had the
geometric shapes up in the blackboard. I show you one picture from each class.
6. Second part: (1hour)
First of all, I show the geometric shapes again, and they say the name. After that, we do the same
activity (the competition) of the other day but without looking the paper with the geometric shapes.
Some of the pupils say the instruction, not me. Later, I show the attached 1, and we practice the oral
vocabulary again and the meaning of the sentence: How many... are there? There are....
Let me explain you how I did the activity.
− I say: How many circles are there? Let's count: One, two, three.. (I point the circles one by
one and they count)
− Pupils: there are 7 circles.
I did the same with all the geometric shapes.
Afterward, we practice with:
a) Count/ count up by.../ count down by...
b) Choose the picture: that has__ extra or that is missing ___
8. REPORT
Activity: Let's to know!
Part 1: The children get very motivated when I explain them the lesson. It's something new and
they are very excited to use the PDI with an online activity. This part is very easy because they
already know the numbers and they get very quickly the name of the geometric shapes. They are
enthusiastic for next day!
Part 2: Some of them confuse some of the shapes, so for next day I'm going to take the paper of the
geometric shapes to practice with the resource. I have to add some vocabulary like: there are. I
understand that this is the language through learning. :p
It was a little bit difficult for them understand the meaning of:
a) Count/ count up by.../ count down by...
Choose the picture: that has__ extra or that is missing___
So, we are going to practice next day one more time before to start with the resource.
* The interaction what I expect were the good one. All the children were motivated and they
participated in a good way. They respected all the instructions and the classmates.
* The skills:
Part 1: L (listening), W (writing), S (speaking), R (reading) and I (interacting).
First, they listen and read the geometric shapes. Secondly, they say the geometric shapes (10min
both activities together). Later, they write and draw on the blackboard the vocabulary, meantime
they are interacting when another needs help or I need help to know who was the winner (50min).
Part 2: L (listening), W (writing), S (speaking) and I (interacting).
First, they say the geometric shapes when I show the paper again (3min). Secondly, they write and
draw on the blackboard (without the paper of the geometric shapes, meantime they are interacting
when another needs help or I need help to know who was the winner. Besides, some of them say the
instruction of the competition, I mean, they say: draw 3 triangles, 2 circles... (30min).
We practice the instruction:
A) how many...? with the attached 1 (5min)
B) choose the picture which show...? (5min).
C) The last activity was practicing Count up by/ count down by... (10min)
9. * The timing was the good one, the only problem was that they don't undestand at all the meaning:
a) Count/ count up by.../ count down by...
Choose the picture: that has__ extra or that is missing___.
So, I will review one more time next day to acquire that instruction (5min).
* Learning objectives:
Part 1:
-Identify the numbers and the geometric shapes
-Understand the instructions
-Communicate the answer
Part 2:
-Identify the numbers and the geometric shapes
-Count, add and substract
-Understand the instructions
-Communicate the answer
* Bloom's Taxonomy:
− Understanding: they understand the instruction and they put it in practice.
− Remembering: they read, draw and identify the numbers and the geometric shapes.
10. Activity: IXL resource
I explained again, before to start with the resource, the meaning of:
Count/ count up by.../ count down by...
Choose the picture: that has__ extra or that is missing___.
We practiced a bit in the blackboard before starting with the resource in the PDI (5min).
They were very motivated with the PDI and all of them wanted to be the next. They understood the
meaning of count up and count down and it was enough when we were doing the activity online.
All of them did the activity very good.
Instruction with:
Count/ count up by.../ count down by...
Choose the picture: that has__ extra or that is missing___.
12. * The interaction what I expect were the good one. All the children were motivated and they
participated in a good way. They respected all the instructions, the turns and the classmates.
* The skills:
L (listening), W (writing), S (speaking), R (reading) and I (interacting).
They listened to the instruction, they read it later. They wrote the answer and they spoke with me
when I was asking some question related to the activity. The classmates spoke to answer some
question and they helped to others. So, they were interecting.
* The timing was the good one. We were on time in the class and I prepared the resource before
children came. So, we needed one hour to do one activity each pupil.
* Learning objectives:
-Identify the numbers and the geometric shapes
-Count, add and substract
-Understand the instructions
-Communicate the answer
-Use in a good way the digital resource
* Bloom's Taxonomy:
- Applying: they use their knowledge in a new situation (in the resource online).
- Understanding: they understand the instruction and they put it in practice.
- Remembering: they read, draw and identify the numbers and the geometric shapes.
