Basic 1 Mathematics Term 1 Week 6 Lesson Plan

Have leaners to find the missing numbers 3 3 8 4 8 __ 8 _ 8 Revise leaners RPK by solving a few examples on word problems involving equal to = Engage learners to sing I’m counting one, what is one • 1 - One is one alone, alone it shall be. • 2 - Two pair, two pair come pair let us pair • 3 - Turn around • 4 - Follow me • 5 - Fire • 6 - Sister • 7 - Saviour Engage leaners to 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

Introduce the concept of equal to. Explain that equal to ‘=’ means “the same as’ Give practical examples to explain this to leaners. Call out three girls and three boys. Let leaners understand that the number of girls is equal to the number of boys. 3 girls = 3 boys. Learners are to use objects available to them to illustrate the concept Bring out and display objects to leaners. Learners are to explore equality by using the objects. Guide leaners to Identify if two quantities or groups of objects are equal or not and justifying answers. Use pictorial models to illustrate this concept. Group models (blocks) in colors. have leaners to determine which group is equal or not equal. have leaners to count to determine the number of blocks in each group as justification Assessment: Have leaners to practice with more examples Have leaners to use the symbol = to record equal relationships. Illustrate different relationships for leaners to listen and observe. Have leaners to analyze each relationship. Leaners are to use equal to symbol to link the relationships Have leaners to Represent a pictorial or concrete equality in symbolic form. Use a symbol (___) to represent the unknown in an addition statement. Example: Group A + 2 circles+ 2 squares=4 Group B + 3 stars + 1 triangle =4 Conclude that, the objects in group A is equal to the objects in group B That is (2+2) = (3+1) Guide leaners to solve more examples Have leaners to represent a pictorial or concrete equality in symbolic form Use a symbol ( ____ ) to represent the unknown in a subtraction statement Use pictorial objects to illustrate this leaners. Have leaners explore for themselves the objects available to them to establish the equality in symbolic form to represent unknown in subtraction statements. For this activity, learners use bottle tops, bundles of sticks and exercise books to model the stated operation concretely and record matching number sentences and solutions.
