| Weekly Learning Plan | |||
| Subject | Accounting | Week | 5 |
| Duration | 60 minutes | Form | SHS 1 |
| Strand | Cost Accounting | Sub-Strand | Determining Cost of Operations for Pricing and Controlling |
| Learning Outcome(s) | 1.2.2.LO.1 - Explain the key ideas related to process costing. | ||
| Learning Indicator(s) | 1.2.2.LI.3 - Process costing | ||
| Lesson Focus | Process costing | ||
| Previous Knowledge | Learners recall the immediately preceding knowledge/skill needed to engage with Process costing; the starter diagnoses this rather than assuming mastery. | ||
| Lesson Objective(s) | Identify or explain the key subject idea/procedure in Process costing. Complete the concrete guided/practical task for Process costing accurately. Apply Process costing independently to a new case, data set, text, material or performance situation. | ||
| Essential Question(s) | What evidence or procedure is needed to work accurately with Process costing? What would a strong practical/application response to Process costing look like? How would changing the context, data or constraints affect a decision about Process costing? | ||
| Pedagogical Strategies | Diagnostic questioning Experiential/problem-based learning Collaborative analysis Guided modelling Independent application Peer/self assessment | ||
| Teaching & Learning Resources | Process-cost data Process-account templates Production-flow diagram Calculator | ||
| Key Notes on Differentiation | |||
| Content | Provide a partially completed example, labelled materials or vocabulary support for learners who need scaffolding in Process costing. Extend the task by adding a new constraint, less familiar case or requirement to compare alternatives in Process costing. | ||
| Process | Use mixed-ability pairs for the first application, then require an individual transfer task. Allow oral/visual demonstration where appropriate while retaining the same subject accuracy criteria. | ||
| Product | Use a checklist/rubric tied to the concrete output for this week rather than participation alone. For advanced work, require justification with evidence, calculations, source reference or quality criteria. | ||
| Success Criteria | The learner uses correct subject terminology and evidence. The learner completes the week’s concrete product/calculation/performance with acceptable accuracy. The learner explains why the procedure/choice fits the stated context rather than giving a memorised general answer. | ||
| Homework | Complete a second data set on Process costing; show all workings and add one sentence interpreting the result. | ||
| Lesson Activities | |||
| Stage | Teacher Activity | Learner Activity | Assessment / DoK |
| Starter10 minutes | Place a small set of authentic-looking accounting records on the board/table and ask learners which records are needed to solve a problem about Process costing. | Inspect the prompt/materials, record an initial response about Process costing, and justify it briefly. | Not provided. |
| Activity 115 minutes | Demonstrate the first worked step for Process costing using the supplied documents/data, making every debit, credit, adjustment or cost assumption explicit. | Map materials, labour, overhead and output through two production processes. | Check classification, account direction and arithmetic at the first key step. |
| Activity 220 minutes | Give pairs a complete data set for Process costing; require full workings and a cross-check rather than answers only. | Prepare process accounts from a production data set, including stated losses where provided. | Mark workings for method, accuracy and internal checks. |
| Activity 310 minutes | Give a shorter unseen data set on Process costing for individual completion. | Calculate unit cost and use it to recommend a price or evaluate efficiency. | Check the unseen item independently and require correction of any error. |
| Lesson Closure | Review one deliberate accounting error related to Process costing; learners identify it, correct it and state how the error would affect the records or decision. Complete a one-minute exit response using a concrete example from the lesson on Process costing. | ||
