Basic 3 Mathematics Term 1 Week 12 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 three We can count We count 1,2,3,4,5 We count 6,7,8,9,10 We class three can count very well. 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. Engage learners to play the “double down game”. Put learners into pairs. Give out two dice to each pair. Have learners to roll their dice in turns. Each partner writes down the numbers displayed by the dice on their recording sheet. E.g. 2+3.

Guide learners to Identify the pattern rule used to create more complex increasing pattern and extend the pattern for the next 2 or 3 terms. E.g. 3, 6, 9, 12, 15... the rule is “add 3 or take 3 steps forward E.g. 5, 10, 15, 20, 25.... Have learners determine the rule for the pattern. The rule is add 5 or take 5 steps forward. Assessment: Have learners to practice with more examples Identify the pattern rule used to create more complex decreasing pattern and extend the pattern for the next 2 or 3 terms. E.g. 30, 27, 24, 21, 18 ... the rule is take 3 steps backwards or subtract 3 E.g. 66, 55, 44, 33, 22... Have learners determine the rule for the pattern. The rule is take 11 steps backwards or subtract 11 Assessment: Have learners to practice with more examples Have learners to create more patterns for a given pattern rule on their own. Assessment: Have learners to practice with more examples Identify errors or missing elements in an increasing or decreasing pattern and justify the answer e.g. - 5, 10, 20, 25, 30 ... or - 45, 40, 35, 30, , 20 ... __ Assessment: Have learners to practice with more examples For this activity, learners use bottle tops, locally made number cards and exercise books to make arrays or sequences, identify the rule or factors and record their findings.
