Component 1

Numeration Systems

Topic: Model number quantities more than 1,000,000,000

Strand: NumberSub-strand: Numeration Systems
Indicator: B7.1.1.1.1 Model number quantities more than 1,000,000,000Content Standard: B7.1.1.1 Demonstrate understanding and the use of place value for expressing quantities recorded as base ten numerals as well as rounding to a given decimal place and significant figures.
Performance Indicator: Learners can use names to count numbers up to 1,000,000,000T.L.R.(s): Place-value cards, Ghana cedi play notes, Graph paper
Phase 1: Starterpreparing the brain for learning
Recap with learners to count forward and backwards,
Phase 2: Mainnew learning including assessment
Concrete-resource task: Set out these resources for each group: Place-value cards; Ghana cedi play notes; Graph paper. Learners manipulate the items to model the numbers or relationships and record or check their working during the task below. Guide learners to form numbers with given multi-base ten materials, given that a small cube is 1,000; 10 small cubes is a rod (i.e. 10,000), 10 rods is a flat (i.e. 100,000); and 10 flats is a block (i.e. 1000,000) Learners to use multiples of 10s, 50s, 100s and 200s to represent numbers in multiples of ways E.g. 5,560 = 20×200 + 10×100 +11×50 + 1×10;
or
5,560 = 15×200 + 20×100 +10×50 + 6×10; etc. Let learners use tokens (or paper-made currency notes) such as GH₵20, GH₵50, GH₵100 and GH₵200 to work out how many of each denomination would be required to model given amount up to one billion.
Phase 3plenary / reflections
Engage learners to summarize the lesson outcomes.

Phase 1: Starterpreparing the brain for learning
read and write number names of number quantities and vice versa, addition and subtraction of numbers.
Phase 2: Mainnew learning including assessment
Concrete-resource task: Set out these resources for each group: Place-value cards; Ghana cedi play notes; Graph paper. Learners manipulate the items to model the numbers or relationships and record or check their working during the task below. i. Workout how many GH₵200 will make GH₵185,000,000, GH₵1,890,750,000, etc. ii. Determine combinations of GH₵50, GH₵100 or GH₵200 notes that make GH₵1,000,000 (make sure each denomination is used) Assessment 1. Model the following numbers with multi-base ten materials or graph sheet: a. 150,000 b. 485,000 2. write these numbers using words a) 3,500 b) 17,100 c) 54,400
Phase 3plenary / reflections
Ask learners how the lesson will benefit them in their daily lives.

Strand: NumberSub-strand: Numeration Systems
Indicator: B7.1.1.2 Compare and order whole numbers more than 1,000,000,000 and represent the comparison using ">", "<", or "="Content Standard: B7.1.1.1 Demonstrate understanding and the use of place value for expressing quantities recorded as base ten numerals as well as rounding to a given decimal place and significant figures.
Performance Indicator: Learners can use <, > and = to compare numbers up to 1,000,000,000T.L.R.(s): Number cards, Greater-than and less-than symbol cards, Bottle tops
Phase 1: Starterpreparing the brain for learning
Share with learners the performance indicators.
Phase 2: Mainnew learning including assessment
Concrete-resource task: Set out these resources for each group: Number cards; Greater-than and less-than symbol cards; Bottle tops. Learners manipulate the items to model the numbers or relationships and record or check their working during the task below. Skip count forwards and backwards in 25s, 50s and 250s beginning from 1000. Identify numbers which are for instance, 500,000 more than or less than a given 8-digit or 9-digit number. i. 1,295,800,000 is 500,000 more than 1,295,300,000 and 1,295,300,000 is 500,000 less than 1,295,800,000 Use phrases such as “is equal to”, “is greater than” and “is less than” as well as their symbols such as “>”, “<” and “=” to compare any two numbers. i. 1,300,850,700 .... 1,300,850,700 ii. 5,223,487,637 .... 5,113,487,637 etc. Assessment 1. Compare the following numbers using < or >: a) 345 and 395 b) 4,726 and 9,726 c) 57,821 and 52,821 d) 209,481 and 279,481 d) 63,237 and 23,237 e) 368,7693 and 9,687,693
Phase 3plenary / reflections
Engage learners to summarize the lesson outcomes. Ask learners how the lesson will benefit them in their daily lives.
