Component 1

Numeration Systems

Topic: Express decimal numerals to given significant and decimal places

Strand: NumberSub-strand: Numeration Systems
Indicator: B7.1.1.1.5 Express decimal numerals to given significant and decimal placesContent 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 these to given decimal places and significant figures
Performance Indicator: Learners can correct numerals to given significant and decimal placesT.L.R.(s): Decimal place-value chart, Digit-and-rounding cards, Graph paper
Phase 1: Starterpreparing the brain for learning
Revise with learners on what was taught in the previous lesson. Share with learners the performance indicators.
Phase 2: Mainnew learning including assessment
Groups place the Digit-and-rounding cards on the Decimal place-value chart to build the decimal numbers supplied by the teacher. They mark the required decimal place or significant figure, inspect the next digit and physically move the retained digit card when rounding is required. Learners record each original and rounded number on the Graph paper and draw a vertical line at the rounding boundary. Partners check one another's placement and justify whether the number rounded up or down.
Phase 3plenary / reflections
Use peer discussion and effective questioning to find out from learners what they have learnt during the lesson.

Performance Indicator: Learners can correct numerals to given significant and decimal placesT.L.R.(s): Decimal place-value chart, Digit-and-rounding cards, Graph paper
Phase 1: Starterpreparing the brain for learning
Write on the board: List the first ten multiples of 15. Ask pupils to write the answers in their exercise books.
Phase 2: Mainnew learning including assessment
Groups place the Digit-and-rounding cards on the Decimal place-value chart to build the decimal numbers supplied by the teacher. They mark the required decimal place or significant figure, inspect the next digit and physically move the retained digit card when rounding is required. Learners record each original and rounded number on the Graph paper and draw a vertical line at the rounding boundary. Partners check one another's placement and justify whether the number rounded up or down.
Phase 3plenary / reflections
Take feedback from learners and summarize the lesson.

Strand: NumberSub-strand: Number Operations
Indicator: B7.1.2.1.1 Multiply and divide given numbers by powers of 10 including decimals and benchmark fractions of 10Content Standard: B7.1.2.1 Apply mental mathematics strategies and number properties used to solve problems
Performance Indicator: Learners can multiply and divide given numbers by powers of 10T.L.R.(s): Fraction strips, Bottle tops, Graph paper
Phase 1: Starterpreparing the brain for learning
Call on pupils one at a time to give one of the multiples, and list their answers on the board. (Answers: 15, 30, 45, 60, 75) Share the performance indicators and introduce the lesson.
Phase 2: Mainnew learning including assessment
Concrete-resource task: Set out these resources for each group: Fraction strips; Bottle tops; Graph paper. Learners manipulate the items to model the numbers or relationships and record or check their working during the task below. Revise with learners to multiply large numbers. Example: 1264 by 328 Guide learners to recall decimal names of given benchmark fractions converted to decimals or percentages (and vice versa) Learners to find the product of a given decimal number when it is multiplied. Example: decimals are multiplied as if they are no decimal point. E.g. 4.91 × 12 First 291 × 12 = 5892 There are three decimal places altogether in the two numbers. Now put the decimal places into the answer, which gives 5.892 assessment Evaluate the following 1. 9.31 × 1.0 2. 0.56 × 10 3. 0.02 × 0.08 4. 3.566 × 0.005
Phase 3plenary / reflections
Ask learners how the lesson will benefit them in their daily lives.
