Lesson plan using SAMR
I have been getting sick with making lesson plans. Same old activities with same old results. But it is not going to be the same anymore as there is a powerful tool out there called the SAMR model that can make my classroom lessons interesting with technology
I think of SAMR as my guide to integrating tech in a way that goes beyond just bells and whistles. It's about using technology to create truly engaging and effective learning experiences.
SAMR stands for Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, and Redefinition. Each stage represents a different level of tech integration, moving from basic to truly transformative.
Here's a breakdown for the model:
- Substitution: This is the most basic level. Think replacing a textbook with a digital version or using a presentation app instead of a whiteboard. It's a good starting point, but not where the magic happens.
- Augmentation: Here, you start to add some pizazz! You might use educational games, simulations, or interactive websites to enhance your lessons. It's more engaging than substitution, but still uses technology for the same basic tasks.
- Modification: Now we're getting interesting! This is where you start to use technology to modify learning activities. You might have students create multimedia projects, collaborate on documents online, or analyze data using digital tools. This is where technology starts to change how students learn.
- Redefinition: This is the ultimate level of tech integration. Here, technology transforms learning altogether. Imagine students creating their own educational games, designing 3D models, or solving real-world problems through online collaboration. This is where technology opens up entirely new learning possibilities.
The SAMR model isn't just about the tech itself, it's about using technology strategically to deepen student understanding and create a more dynamic learning environment.
Down below, I have created a lesson plan using SAMR model in order to make my lesson more interesting and engaging with technology;
Lesson no: 1
Teacher name: Namgay Seldon
Subject: Mathematics
Topic: operations using number lines
Class: 3
Time: 45 minutes
TLM: Powerpoint, video link, Phet simulation, google docs
ICT model: SAMR
Previous knowledge: the students have the concept of addition and subtractions
Lesson objectives:
At the end of the lesson students will be able to:
Draw a number line from number 1 to 10 correctly on google docs
Do addition on the number line
Do subtraction on the number line
Lesson introduction:
The teacher will first ask the students if they correctly know the concept of addition and subtraction
Then the teacher will ask the students if they know what a number line is
If the students don’t know what a number line is, the teacher will draw a number line on the board
Then the teacher will say that they will be learning ‘how to add and subtract using a number line’
Now the teacher will show a youtube video, explaining the basics of adding and subtracting using a number line.

Now the students will be able to identify and label the parts of a number line such as origin, negative number and positive numbers
Lesson development:
Now the teacher will use PHeT simulation to further explain the concept.
The teacher will insert questions such as 3+4 in the simulation and get the answers like:
Now the students will try different equations on PHeT by themselves
After the students understand the concept of the adding and subtracting using a number line, the teacher will give the following questions:
Solve using a number line:
2+4
3+1
5+4
4+3
1+6
5. Now the students will solve by making the drawing on their google docs
Lesson closure:
Now the teacher will gather all the students attention by using a attention graber like "class, class"
Then the teacher will show a link on the screen.
The teacher will now sum up the lesson with a quick quiz on kahoot: https://create.kahoot.it/details/9e9ec9dc-23fa-4ab9-a84f-3ca722096c18
