STUDY UNIT 3 How do music concepts and related experiences relate to life skills, mathematics and languages.

HOW DO MUSIC CONCEPTS AND RELATED EXPERIENCES RELATE TO LIFE SKILLS , MSATHEMATICS AND LANGUAGES.

LIFE SKILLS

Early exposure to music helps children learn the sounds and meanings of words. Dancing   to music helps youngsters develop motor skills while also allowing them to express themselves. Music  improves memory skills in both youngsters and adult.

MATHEMATICS

Patterns are the most striking parallel between math and music, for example , contains repetitive lyrics and choruses, whereas mathematics employs patterns to explain the unknown.

Different mathematical phenomena can be used in music. Geometry, signal processing, differential calculus, and even trigonometry are among them.

LANGUAGES

At the same time , musical and linguistic systems vary greatly from one culture to the next. Music also aids in the development of effective communication skills and improvement of vocubulary.

Lesson plan unit 5

A lesson plan is a teacher's thorough description of a lesson's path of teaching, often known as the "learning trajectory." 

A teacher creates a daily lesson plan to facilitate class learning. 

Details will vary according on the teacher's preferences, the material being covered, and the students' requirements. 

lesson plan is the instructor's road map for what students should learn and how they will learn it effectively throughout class. 

Then you can design appropriate learning activities and methods for receiving feedback on student progress. 

Having a well-thought-out lesson plan for each 3-hour class provides you more confidence in the classroom and boosts your chances of providing your students with a meaningful learning experience. 

An excellent lesson plan addresses and integrates three essential components:

1.Learning Objectives 2.Learning Activities

3.Assessment to ensure that the learner understands the material

A lesson plan isn't exhaustive, but it gives you a good understanding of your teaching goals, learning objectives, and how to achieve them. 

A successful lesson is one in which both the students and the instructor learn from one another, rather than one in which everything is taught to the students.

Arts integration in the Foundation phase

Arts integration is one of the most effective methods for a diverse group of learners with diverse interest, attitude, learning styles and experiences to establish a community of engaged learners who take responsibility for an ownership of their own learning is thought arts integration.

Values of arts integration

• Schools that engage teachers to use arts integration tactics in their classroom have shown better result in terms of mathematics profiency and less and less disciplinary issue.
• Enables teacher to encourage and support children’s developmental needs.
• Gives learners the outlook to collaborate in teaching and activities which are exciting.
• Enhances learners hereditary curiosity, creativity and imaginative abilities.

   

It emphasizes on how children learn by interacting with the world and also how they build new skiils based on prior knowledge.The notion that  children learn by interacting with the world and that they build  new knowledge based on existing skills.For example: I as a foundation phase teacher I play a role motivating my learners to do good and give positive credits to my them every time they achieve something I see positive discipline.
