Basic 6 Mathematics Term 1 Week 1 Lesson Plan

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. Paste a chart of base block on the board for learners to observe. Hand out sheet of papers to learners to draw what they see on the chart. Review the previous lesson through examples Review the previous lesson by; Bring real Ghana cedi currency of different denominations to class. Put them in a box in front of the class. Call out an amount for learners to model it. Do it groups to create competition.

Have learners to model numbers quantities up to 1000000 using graph sheets or multi base materials. For instance, with multi base block. A cube=1000unit, a rod=10000, a flat=100000, and a block=1000000. Learners model 436000 with the appropriate materials. Ask learners to model the number 137000 shading graph sheet square. Distribute graph sheets to learners and demonstrate how to model the number 12500 by shading. Note: A cube=1000unit A rod=10000unit Etc. Have learners practice more examples. Give learners teacher made token currency notes on different colored paper and ask them to model or pick given amounts up to GHC100,000 Read out number figures and have learners write them in words up to 10,000,000. Assessment: Engage learners to play the place value number wheel game. Use the hundred thousand number wheel to generate 6- digit numbers and represent the number generated on a place value frame. Throw a number of pebbles (or stones) onto the number wheel, identify the number of pebbles landing in each place value ring, and state the number generated in the wheel (i.e. 2 landed in the ten-thousand’ ring making the number twenty-thousand or 20,000) For this activity, learners use bundles of sticks, place-value chart on manila card and locally made digit cards to model quantities and arrange digits in the correct place-value columns.

What have we learnt today? Modeling number quantities using graph sheet. Learners to model number quantities written on the board. Review lesson with learners. Have learner model number quantities for multi digit using multi base materials What have we learnt today? Have learners summarize the important points of the lesson. Engage pupils in a think pair share activity to. *write number in figures and in words up to 1000000
