Basic 1 Mathematics Term 1 Week 1 Lesson Plan

Engage learners to sing the song WE CAN COUNT We class one We can count We count 1,2,3,4,5 We count 6,7,8,9,10 We class one can count very well. Teacher calls out numbers from 1 to 20 Have learners to write number patterns in the air. Randomly call learners to write a said number on the board. Engage learners to play the Dice game. Put learners into pairs and give out two dice to each pair. Have a partner to toss the dice and the other add up the two numbers that shows up. Play the game in groups to encourage competition Teacher calls out numbers from 1 to 20 Have learners to write number patterns in the air. Randomly call learners to write a said number on the board.

Count by 1s (forwards and backwards) between two given numbers between 0 and 100; or by 2s and 10s; Identify and correct errors or omissions in counting or skip counting sequences Count to answer “how many?” questions about as many as 100 objects arranged in a line, a grid or a circle; Show that the count of a group of up to 100 objects does not change regardless of the order in which the objects are counted or the arrangement of the objects. Estimate the number of objects in a small group (up to 100) and describe the estimation strategy used; Select an appropriate estimate among all those given for a group of up to 100 objects and justify the choice Represent the number of objects in a group with a written numeral 0 to 100. Use ordinal numbers to describe the position of objects up to 10th place Represent the number of objects in a group with a written numeral 0 to 100. Use ordinal numbers to describe the position of objects up to 10th place For this activity, learners use bottle tops, bundles of sticks and locally made number cards to count and group quantities and arrange the matching numerals in the required order.

Review the lesson by giving learners several examples to solve Give learners task to solve at home.
