Component 1
Significant Figures
Topic: 8
| Strand: Number | Sub-strand: Significant Figures |
| Indicator: 8.1.1.1.5 Express integers in a given number of significant and decimal places | 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 express integers in a given number of significant and decimal places | T.L.R.(s): Printed power-of-ten cards, Decimal place-value chart, Graph paper |
Phase 1: Starterpreparing the brain for learning Revise with learners on the previous lesson.
Share performance indicators with learners and introduce the lesson. | Phase 2: Mainnew learning including assessment Groups use the Printed power-of-ten cards to build powers from 10⁰ upward and connect each power with its place on the Decimal place-value chart. They move digit cards conceptually on the chart to express a supplied integer or decimal in standard form and to identify a requested significant or decimal place. Learners record the original number, power-of-ten expression and rounded form on the Graph paper. Partners reverse the representation to check that its value is unchanged. | Phase 3plenary / reflections Use peer discussion and effective questioning to find out from learners what they have learnt during the lesson. |
Component 2
Significant Figures
Topic: 8
| Strand: Number | Sub-strand: Significant Figures |
| Indicator: 8.1.1.1.5 Express integers in a given number of significant and decimal places | 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 express integers in a given number of significant and decimal places | T.L.R.(s): Printed power-of-ten cards, Decimal place-value chart, Graph paper |
Phase 1: Starterpreparing the brain for learning Start the lesson with a recap of the previous lesson. Allow learners to reflect on what they learnt from the previous lesson and the homework relating to significant. | Phase 2: Mainnew learning including assessment Groups use the Printed power-of-ten cards to build powers from 10⁰ upward and connect each power with its place on the Decimal place-value chart. They move digit cards conceptually on the chart to express a supplied integer or decimal in standard form and to identify a requested significant or decimal place. Learners record the original number, power-of-ten expression and rounded form on the Graph paper. Partners reverse the representation to check that its value is unchanged. | Phase 3plenary / reflections Take feedback from learners and summarize the lesson. |
Component 3
Standard Form
Topic: Express integers of any size into standard form
| Strand: Number | Sub-strand: Standard Form |
| Indicator: B8.1.1.1.4 Express integers of any size into standard form. | 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 express integers of any size into standard form | T.L.R.(s): Printed power-of-ten cards, Decimal place-value chart, Graph paper |
Phase 1: Starterpreparing the brain for learning Learners work these examples in groups. Correct the following to; i) 4 ii) 3 iii) 2 iv) 1 • 17300 • 0.651234 • 782001 • 0.423568 • 20023 • 0.24780021 | Phase 2: Mainnew learning including assessment Groups use the Printed power-of-ten cards to build powers from 10⁰ upward and connect each power with its place on the Decimal place-value chart. They move digit cards conceptually on the chart to express a supplied integer or decimal in standard form and to identify a requested significant or decimal place. Learners record the original number, power-of-ten expression and rounded form on the Graph paper. Partners reverse the representation to check that its value is unchanged. | Phase 3plenary / reflections Home Work Correct each of the following numbers to 2 significant figures. a) 0.0496 b) 0.0996 |
