Basic 5 Mathematics Term 1 Week 8 Lesson Plan

Using questions and answers, review learners understanding of the previous lesson. Play games and sing songs to begin the lesson. Engage learners in the “Jump Counting” game Have learners count while jumping with each count. Challenge them to count by twos, fives, or tens! Give learners brain teasers to solve. 1. A teacher is preparing for a field trip. She assigns 81 students to 3 different buses. How many students are on each bus? Engage learners to cut out some 2D shapes at your start signal. Have learners to paste the cut outs on the classroom wall

Learners model mathematical statements from a given word problem involving addition and multiplication and solve using the strategies learnt Learners model mathematical statements from a given word problem involving division and subtraction and solve using the strategies learnt Learners role play a given word problem involving addition and multiplication and solve Learners role play a given word problem involving subtraction and division and solve Learners model mathematical statements from a given word problem involving division and multiplication and solve using the strategies learnt. The relationship between operations and the use of calculator and spreadsheet to assess the reasonableness of answers should be stressed Use number line to help learners to do the following types (addition) (1) 9 + -4 = _____ (2) -8 + 4 = _____ (3) -3 + -5 = _____ (4) 1 + - 3 = _____ (5) -6 + 5 = _____ (6) 6 + -2 = _____ (7) -6 + 8 = _____ (8) -2 + 9 = ______ Use number line to help learners to do the following types (subtraction) (9) -5 – 1 = ____ (10) -2 – 1 = ____ (11) 8 – 7= ____ (12) 2 – 6 = _____ (13) -1 – 7 = ____ (14) -5 – 7= ____ (15) -8 – 8= ____ (16) 4 – 6 = _____ Solve word problems; e.g. (i) Some number added to 5 is equal to -11. Find the number. (ii) Ben and Cam are diving. Ben is 15.8 meters below the surface of the water. Cam is 4.2 meters above Ben What is Cam's position relative to the surface of the water? 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 while you go round the class to support those who might need extra help.
