Component 1
Read And Write In Number Quantities
Topic: Apply the understanding of place value to read and write in number quantities over...
| Strand: Number | Sub-strand: Read And Write In Number Quantities |
| Indicator: B8.1.1.1.1 Apply the understanding of place value to read and write in number quantities over 1,000,000,000. | Content Standard: B8.1.1.1 Demonstrate understanding and the use of place value for expressing quantities in standard form and rounding numbers. |
| Performance Indicator: Learners can read and write in number quantities over 1,000,000,000. | T.L.R.(s): Place-value cards, Ghana cedi play notes, Graph paper |
Phase 1: Starterpreparing the brain for learning Play:”1 more than”. Mention a number and learners add 1 to it and call out the number e.g. 1) 6 →7 2) 15 → 16 3) 30 → 31 4) 88 → 89
• Did you have fun playing the game? • What set of numbers did you hear in the song? • Write 1 to 20 in your books. | Phase 2: Mainnew learning including assessment Concrete-resource task: Set out these resources for each group: Place-value cards; Ghana cedi play notes; Graph paper. Learners manipulate the items to model the numbers or relationships and record or check their working during the task below.
Have learners look at the multi-based block and write the number name for each. 1) One thousand 2) Five thousand 3) Sixty 4) Four Draw the Place Value Chart on the board Have learners be in groups of five. Write these numbers on the board. Learners read it and write the numerals under the appropriate columns: 1, 2 4 6. And 3, 6 0 4
Give out the place value chart to learners. They write numeral on their own and write it under the appropriate column in the place value chart.
In pairs, let learners write the number name for these numerals. 1) 645 2) 1,332 3) 2,408,321
In groups of five, give out the Place Value Chart. write these numerals on the board for learners to write them in the chart. 1) 5,896 2) 6,035 3) 10,000
Repeat this exercise. Learners write their own numerals and write number names for them. They should move round other groups and compare their work.
Engage learners to work in pairs. Write number names for these numerals. 1) 5,648 2) 6,099 | Phase 3plenary / reflections Use peer discussion and effective questioning to find out from learners what they have learnt during the lesson. |

Phase 1: Starterpreparing the brain for learning Share performance indicators and introduce the lesson.
Play: “How Many fingers up” and “How Many” fingers down? | Phase 2: Mainnew learning including assessment Concrete-resource task: Set out these resources for each group: Place-value cards; Ghana cedi play notes; Graph paper. Learners manipulate the items to model the numbers or relationships and record or check their working during the task below.
assessment Write number names for these numerals. 1) 9,804 2) 10,024 3) 9,999 4) 1,567,451
Write the number names for these numerals. 1) 4,999 2) 4,005 3) 3,079 4) 1,567,451
Put learners into groups of five. Give them 100000 number charts.
The group leaders should identify errors or omissions and correct them.
Give 1000 numeral cards to learners in their groups. They play counting forwards in 10s starting on 200000, 400000, 500000 etc. | Phase 3plenary / reflections Take feedback from learners and summarize the lesson. |
Component 3
Read And Write In Number Quantities
Topic: Skip count forwards and backwards in 10,000s, 100,000s, 500,000s, etc
| Strand: Number | Sub-strand: Read And Write In Number Quantities |
| Indicator: B8.1.1.1.2. Skip count forwards and backwards in 10,000s, 100,000s, 500,000s, etc. | Content Standard: B8.1.1.1 Demonstrate understanding and the use of place value for expressing quantities in standard form and rounding numbers and decimals to significant figures and a given number of decimal places |
| Performance Indicator: Learners can skip count forwards and backwards in 10,000s, 100,000s, 500,000s | T.L.R.(s): Printed multiples-of-ten-thousand cards, Place-value chart, Bottle-top counters |
Phase 1: Starterpreparing the brain for learning Hold up fingers on two hands. Say “How Many fingers up” and “How Many fingers down”?
Learners call out the fingers they see up and the number of fingers they see down | Phase 2: Mainnew learning including assessment Learners position the Printed multiples-of-ten-thousand cards on the Place-value chart and identify the place that changes in each step. They use the Bottle-top counters to track equal jumps while skip-counting forward and backward in ten-thousands, hundred-thousands and five-hundred-thousands. Groups identify missing cards in a sequence and explain the pattern before creating a new sequence for another group to solve. | Phase 3plenary / reflections Use peer discussion and effective questioning to find out from learners what they have learnt during the lesson.
Take feedback from learners and summarize the lesson. |
