Basic 4 Mathematics Term 1 Week 8 Lesson Plan

Let learners solve this brain teaser Engage learners to sing the song WE CAN COUNT 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. 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. Give out number cards (from 1-20) to learners at random. Leaners are to identify numbers based on tally marks, frames, dice, fingers etc. The first child shouts and mention the number on his card and ask for another number. Example, I have 5....Who has 9? Have learners to sing songs and recite familiar rhymes JOHNNY JOHNNY Johnny, Johnny, yes papa. Eating sugar, no papa. Telling lies, no papa. Open your mouth ha! ha! ha!

Determine the products when one factor is a multiple of 10 and100 by annexing zero or adding zeros e.g., for 3×200 think of 3×2 and then add two zeros Assessment: Learners to practice with more examples Determine the products when one factor is a multiple 1000 by annexing zero or adding zeros e.g., for 3×2000 think of 3×2 and then add three zeros Assessment: Learners to practice with more examples Apply halving and doubling when determining a given product e.g., 32×5 is the same as 16×10 Assessment: Learners to practice with more examples Apply the distributive property to determine a given product involving multiplying factors that are close to multiples of 10 E.g., 29×7 = (30×7) – (1×7) = 203 Assessment: Learners to practice with more examples Apply the distributive property to determine a given product involving multiplying factors that are close to multiples of 10 e.g., 29×7 = (30×7) – (1×7) = 203 Assessment: Learners to practice with more examples 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.
