Basic 3 Mathematics Term 1 Week 6 Lesson Plan

Engage learners to complete the pattern. Which shape comes next? Draw it __ Have learners to match the shapes. Engage learners to draw the circles and shade any three.

Demonstrate by using strategies like counting up solving the addition. 8 + 4 Example: Add Guide learners to start from 8 and count up to 4times. that is 8 9, 10, 11, 12 Write more examples on board and call learners to the board to solve them to the whole class. Give them task to solve individually and monitor their progress. Engage learners in strategies to make doubles when both numbers are close to doubles or when one number is close to the double of the other by: decomposing one of the numbers to create doubles 25 + 26 Example1: Add , think 25 + 25 + 1 24 + 26 Example2: Add , think 25 + 25, 69 + 23 Example3: Add , think 70 + 22 Give them task to solve individually and monitor their progress. Engage learners in strategies to make 10s when one number is close to 10 or to multiples of 10 by shifting a quantity from one number to the other to create a multiple of 10 28 + 47 e.g. for example, , think 30 + 45, which is the equivalent of moving 2 from 47 to 28 or think 25 + 50, which is the equivalent of moving 3 from 28 to 45 Engage learners in strategies in making 10s when the 2nd number is close to 10 or to a multiple of 10 by compensation i.e., adding something to the number, then adjusting the answer by adding the same amount to the answer 48 – 19 e.g. for , subtract: 48 - 20 which is 18, then add 1 to that answer to get 19. Engage learners in strategies to subtract by counting up in friendly jumps. Start at 2nd number and jump up by friendly jumps to get to the first number and add up all the friendly jumps made e.g.,71-36, start with 36 and make friendly jumps until you get to 71, for example 36 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 5 gives 71. The jumps made were 10 + 10 + 10 + 5, or 35 places in total. So the difference between 71 and 36 is 35) For this activity, learners use bottle tops, bundles of sticks and exercise books to model the stated operation concretely and record matching number sentences and solutions.

Give learners task to complete whiles you go round to guide those who don’t understand. Give remedial learning to those who special help.
