Basic 1 Mathematics Term 1 Week 8 Lesson Plan

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 Engage leaners 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. Wednesda y Engage learners to sing WE SHALL HAMMER •We shall hammer with one hammer (learners to show one hand), hammer with one hammer, hammer with one hammer we all do the same. •We shall hammer with two hammers, hammer with two hammers, and hammer with two hammers we all do the same. (continue to any desired number) 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.

Show to learners a variety of more concrete shapes. Have learners to realize that halving means splitting into 2 equal parts. Have learners to know that to halve a shape, you must make sure that it is split in the middle. This teaches the child that halving must be fair and that both halves must look the same. use concrete objects to explain the fraction half as the quantity obtained by taking 1 part when a whole object is partitioned into two equal parts Assessment: Present learners with several concrete objects to demonstrate the concept of halving Use pictorial representations to explain the fraction half as the quantity obtained by taking 1 part when a whole object is partitioned into two equal parts. Give out paper strips to learners for them to observe Have learners to tell the two colors in the paper strips. Learners to cut off the box colored with yellow Yellow strip- (one quantity) Red strip- (one quantity) Here, learners can tell half as the quantity obtained by taking 1 part when a whole object is partitioned into two equal parts. Assessment: have Learners to explore with several pictorial representations to demonstrate the concept of half. Wednesda y Use pictorial representations to explain the fraction half as the quantity obtained by taking 1 part when a whole object is partitioned into two equal parts. Create as many “double bugs” as you can to demonstrate the concept of halving. Assessment: Have learners to explore with the bugs to come out with fraction half as the quantity obtained by taking 1 part when a whole object is partitioned into two equal parts. Use pictorial representations to help learners sort fractions into those that are halves and those that are not halves Use pictorial representations to help learners sort fractions into those that are halves and those that are not halves 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.

Give learners task to complete whiles you go round to guide those who don’t understand. Give remedial learning to those who special help. Wednesda y Give learners task to complete whiles you go round to guide those who don’t understand. Give remedial learning to those who special help.
