Basic 3 Mathematics Term 1 Week 8 Lesson Plan

Put leaners in two groups. Call out a number between 1 and 6. E.g. 3. Learners must call out the double (2x) of that number. In this case 6 is the answer. Try out more numbers. The group that answers more wins. 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. Have leaners to sing songs and recite rhymes in relation to the lesson 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

Have learners to know that fractions tell us how many parts of a whole we have. The fraction are normally written with one number up and another number down with a dash in between Use several pictorial representations (or card cut outs) to introduce unit fractions like half, thirds, fifths, tenths, etc. Half= 1⁄2 Thirds= 1/3 Fourths= 1/4 Fifths= 1/ Introduce the fraction notation by explaining the fraction one-half as the quantity obtained by taking 1 part when a whole is partitioned into 2 equal parts and is represented by 1⁄2 One whole Assessment: Ask learners to write symbols for the fractions A, B, C, D, and E Ask learners to match pictorial representations of fractions to their symbols Assessment: Have learners to practice with more examples Use several pictorial representations (or card cut outs) to introduce multiples of unit fractions like thirds, fifths, tenths, etc., show the notations 2/5,3/8,4/12, etc. and ask learners to draw and label fractions with their symbols. Ask learners to colour given fractions in given shapes with equal portions or match fractions to shaded regions Assessment: Have learners to practice with more examples 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.
