Choose a series of lessons you decided to teach in order to promote pupil learning in a particular area of the curriculum. Write a detailed review of the process, explaining your choice of area, detailing what you wanted pupils to learn, justifying the pedagogical choices you made and describing how you implemented them, and finally analysing how successful that learning was. Remember that if you wrote about Maths in Assignment 1, you must write about Language in this assignment and vice-versa.

Introduction
The Curriculum for Excellence (CfE) places a clear emphasis on numeracy across learning. Mathematics plays a vital role in the progression of people’s lives. It is important to develop children’s ideas and knowledge within maths, and to …show more content…
I felt that it would be important to have certain rules for when the pupils were in the shop while the rest of the class was working. These rules, such as time management and appropriate behaviour in the shop, were created in cooperation with the pupils. With personal experience of working part-time in a shop, I discussed with the pupils the role of the shopkeeper and the customer as well as asking them what was important. They were able to inform me about how the shopkeeper is polite and has good manners saying please and thank you. This was something that we all felt was very important and made it one of our main rules for the shopkeeper. Noise was another factor we had to deal with. A loud shop can be distracting for not only the rest of the class but also, due to the open plan design of the school, other classes around our class base. Cohen, et al. (2010) suggests that the high levels of noise and distraction can be a disadvantage of the open plan arrangements in a school and I did not want to cause any unnecessary noise during lessons. To counteract this, we would have two shop monitors elected every day and if they felt that the shop was too noisy they would inform me and action would be taken to reduce the noise. The contents of the shop were provided by teachers and the children such as cereal boxes, toys, empty food tins, newspapers …show more content…
