Phase 1: Starterpreparing the brain for learning Let learners solve the brain teaser below. What is the next number in the sequence ? 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, __ Answer : 49
Continue the fun with more examples Tuesday Let learners solve the brain teaser below. If + = 19 > = 9 ___
Let learners determine the missing number in the box
Answer: 24 4 5 6 8 10 12 16 20 ? 32 40 48 Thursday Engage leaners to sing the song WE CAN COUNT We class six We can count We count 1,2,3,4,5 We count 6,7,8,9,10 We class six can count very well. Write down the numbers 1 through to 9 on a sheet of paper like this Learners in pairs take turns to select numbers. When a number is selected, the player who choose it crosses it off. The first person to get any 3 numbers that add up to exactly 15 wins. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 | Phase 2: Mainnew learning including assessment To compare and order a mixture of common, decimal and percent fractions, express them in one form (i.e. either common decimal or percent); e.g. to order 75%, 2 4 , 0.63. This is case, we express all in percentage as fractions 75% = 75 100
2 4 = 50 100 0.63 = 63 100 Hence, since the denominators are the same we order the numerators from least to the largest. i.e. (50,63,75) Thus 2 4 , 0.63, 75% Assessment: Have learners practice with more examples Guide learners to order a mixture of common, decimal and percent fractions from the least to the highest e.g. to order 75%, 2 4 , 0.63. This is case, we express all in percentage as fractions 75% = 75 100 2 4 = 50 100 0.63 = 63 100 Hence, since the denominators are the same we order the numerators from least to the largest. i.e. (50,63,75) Thus 2 4 , 0.63, 75% Assessment: Have learners practice with more examples Guide learners to order a mixture of common, decimal and percent fractions from the highest to the least. e.g. 0.58 , 71% , 4 10 guide learners to express all in percentage as fractions. 0.58 = 58 100 71% = 71 100 4 10 = 40 100 Hence, since the denominators are the same we order the numerators from least to the largest. i.e. (71,58,40) Thus 71% , 0.58 , 4 10 , Assessment: Have learners practice with more examples Guide learners to order a mixture of common, decimal and percent fractions from the highest to the least. e.g. 0.58 , 71% , 4 10 guide learners to express all in percentage as fractions. 0.58 = 58 100 71% = 71 100 4 10 = 40 100 Hence, since the denominators are the same we order the numerators from least to the largest. i.e. (71,58,40) Thus 71% , 0.58 , 4 10 , Assessment: Have learners practice with more examples
Guide learners to order a mixture of common, decimal and percent fractions from the least to the highest and represent it on a number line. Using the example in the previous lesson e.g. to order 75%, 2 4 , 0.63. assessment: Have learners practice with more examples. 2 4 0.63 75%
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. | Phase 3plenary / reflections Ask learners to tell you what they have learnt and what they will like to learn in the next lesson Give learners individual or home task Ask learners to tell you what they have learnt and what they will like to learn in the next lesson Give learners individual or home task
