Basic 4 Mathematics Term 1 Week 10 Lesson Plan

Put leaners in two groups. Call out a number between 1 and 6. E.g. 3. Learners must call out the double (2x) of that number. In this case 6 is the answer. Try out more numbers. The group that answers more wins. Have leaners to solve for the missing numbers in the empty cells + 1 2 3 1 2 4 2 4 3 4 Engage leaners to Play show me a number game with learners (up to 10), with fingers. Teacher mentions the number from (1 to 10). Learners then show their fingers up to show the number Engage learners to sing I’m counting one, what is one • 1 - One is one alone, alone it shall be. • 2 - Two pair, two pair come pair let us pair • 3 - Turn around • 4 - Follow me • 5 - Fire • 6 - Sister • 7 - Saviour • 8 - Eat more fruits • 9 - Nana Yaw • 10 - Thank your God Engage leaners to sing We class four We can count We count 1,2,3,4,5 We count 6,7,8,9,10 We class four can count very well

Guide learners to use number line to locate one eight by defining the interval from 0 to 1 as the whole and partitioning it into 8 equal parts Assessment: Have leaners to practice with more examples Ask pupils to draw several lines, 30 units each, and mark the ends 0 and 1. For each line ask them to partition the interval from 0 to 1 into each of the following unit fractions 1⁄2, 1/3, 1/5, 1/6 and 1/10 Ask pupils to use the number chart they have drawn to read fractions that are equivalent e.g. 11/3 = 2/6 Use fraction chart to illustrate the concept of equivalent fractions i.e. equal fractions that have different fractional units or denominators i.e. one-half is 2-fourths, 3-sixth or 4- eighths Assessment: Have leaners to practice with more examples Illustrate the relationship between fractions and their equivalences by observing the different fractional units or denominators (i.e. the numerator is multiplied by the number of units the denominator is further broken into) Assessment: Have leaners to practice with more examples Ask pupils to color fractions that are equivalent to given fractions or write more equivalent fractions for given fractions To determine the equivalent fractions of given fractions, find the Lowest Common Denominator (LCD) and use this to express the equivalent fractions that are comparable Assessment: Have leaners to practice with more examples For this activity, learners use fraction strips cut from old cartons, bottle tops and exercise books to fold and compare fractional parts, model the required operation and record the results.

Review lesson with leaners by giving them task to solve in their workbooks.
