Basic 2 Mathematics Term 1 Week 5 Lesson Plan

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 sing the song WE CAN COUNT We class two We can count We count 1,2,3,4,5 We count 6,7,8,9,10 We class two can count very well.

Add a given set of numbers in two different ways. 35 + 54 and 54 + 35 e.g. 18 + 12 + 3 or and 3 + 18 + 12 Let learners understand by explaining why the order in which numbers are added does not change the sum. Give learners a set of numbers to add at their own pace. Encourage others by helping them to add. Introduce learners to the concept of zero. let learners understand that zero is a number which represent “nothing” Explain to learners why the difference or sum of two numbers is the same as the initial number when 0 is added or subtracted from that number. 27 + 0 = 27 e.g., why 55 – 0 = 55 or Guide learners to match a word problem to a missing addend 34 + ___ = 57 e.g., Guide learners to match a word problem to a missing subtrahend 27 - __ = 24 e.g. Guide learners to match a word problem to a missing minuend __ - 54 = 63 e.g. Create an addition or subtraction number sentence and word problem for a number up to 100 Example: Given the solution 53, create an addition or subtraction sentence with an answer of 53 and a corresponding word problem. 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.

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