Basic 4 Mathematics Term 1 Week 9 Lesson Plan

Have learners arrange the fractions from the largest to the smallest. Learners are to complete the work within a given time Engage learners to play the missing number puzzle. Use 1 to 4 to finish each equation. Multiply before you add and subtract Let learners play games and sing songs to begin the lesson. Revise with them the previous lesson through questions and answers. Engage learners in the Mental math game: Give a sequence of instructions for learners to follow while doing math in their head.

Guide learners to solve Division as repeated subtraction (using the long division method). Explain division as a way of repeatedly subtracting a divisor number from a given dividend until there is none left and then determining the number of times the divisor is taken from the dividend. For example, 25 ÷ 5 = ? Learners count the number of times 5 was subtracted from 25, which is 5 times. Hence, 25 ÷ 5 = 5 Guide learners to solve Division using the estimation of multiples of 10, 100 and others of the divisor. For Example to solve 276 ÷ 3 = ? Learners use estimations: (they may have to use multiples of divisor to select a convenient estimate) “About how many groups of 3 can fit into 276?” The estimation used here is 40. So 3 × 40 = 120. Subtracting 120 from 276 to get 156. The next estimation used is 50. So 3 × 50 = 150. Subtracting 150 from 156 to get 6. The next estimation used is 2. And 2 × 3 = 6. Subtracting 6 from 6 to get 0. There is nothing more to share. To find the final answer add the estimations: 40 + 50 + 2 = 92. Therefore 276 ÷ 3 = 92. Learners model mathematical statements from a given word problem invoUlsvei n1 gto a4 dtod fiitniioshn e aacnh deq muatuiolnti. p lication and solve using the strategies learnt. Multiply before you add and subtract Learners model mathematical statements from a given word problem involving division and multiplication and solve using the strategies learnt The relationship between operations and the use of calculator and spreadsheet to assess the reasonableness of answers should be stressed Learners role play a given word problem involving addition and multiplication and solve. e.g. i. A bee has 6 legs. How many legs do 8 bees have? ii. Brad has 17 ballons. 8 ballons are red and the rest are green. How many green ballons does Brad have? iii. Josh had 16 marbles in his collection. He lost 7 marbles. How many marbles does he have now? 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 while you go round the class to support those who might need extra help.
