Basic 4 Mathematics Term 1 Week 5 Lesson Plan

Engage leaners in the ‘double up game’ Call out a number between 1and 6. Example 3. Learners must call out the double (2x) of that number. In this case 6 is the answer. Try out more numbers. 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 • 8 - Eat more fruits • 9 - Nana Yaw • 10 - Thank your God Engage leaners to sing We class four We can count We count 1,2,3,4,5 We count 6,7,8,9,10 We class four can count very well Have leaners to solve for the missing numbers in the empty cells + 1 2 3 1 2 4 2 4 3 4

Have learners recite some multiplication facts up to 12 Explain to learners what factors of numbers means. factors represent the numbers that we can multiply to get a bigger number called the product or multiple. 4 x 3 = 12 Factors Product Since12 = 4 × 3, we can say 4 and 3 are factors of 12; and 12 is a multiple of 3 or a multiple of 4. Guide learners to break given multiples into factors and pairs of factors of given numbers. Use different activities to explain what factors mean to learners. Example: multiplying two whole numbers gives a product. The numbers that we multiply are the factors of the product. 2 x 4 = 8 factors Products For instance: 3 x 5 = 15 therefore, 3 and 5 are the factors of 15. Have learners to again understand that factors divides a number completely without leaving any reminder. Engage learners to make formation of sets of equal object from a given quantity. For example with 12 straws Learners make groupings such as: Learners to list all the combinations as factors of 12. {3 4} {4 3} {2 6} Learners to progress at their own pace by solving for examples. Learners pair grouping and the number of equal objects for each formation as factors; Learners collect from the pairs and form a set as the factors of the given number. For example the set of factors of 12 = {1,2,3,4,6,12}
