Age: 6 years
Duration: 40 minutes (4 periods)
Date: [Insert Date]
Subject: Mathematics
Topic: Addition of Whole Numbers with Sum Less Than 5

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES:

At the end of the lesson, pupils should be able to:

  • Add whole numbers with sums less than 5.
  • Demonstrate understanding through real-life examples (e.g., toys, apples).

INSTRUCTIONAL TECHNIQUES:

  • Interactive teaching.
  • Visual aids (counters and number cards).
  • Hands-on practice.

INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS:

  • Counters (e.g., small stones, beads).
  • Number cards (1–5).
  • Chalkboard and chalk.

 

INSTRUCTIONAL PROCEDURES

 

PERIOD 1 and 2:

PRESENTATION

TEACHER’S ACTIVITY

PUPIL’S ACTIVITY

STEP 1: INTRODUCTION

- Greet the pupils and introduce the lesson. - Show number cards (1–5) and briefly discuss counting. - Display counters and demonstrate addition with sums less than 5 (e.g., 1 + 2).

- Greet the teacher. - Observe the demonstration and respond when asked to count the number cards and counters.

STEP 2: EXPLANATION

- Explain that addition involves combining quantities. - Demonstrate how to add 1 + 2 using counters, showing the result.

- Watch the teacher’s demonstration and repeat the process with their own counters.

STEP 3: INTERACTIVE SESSION

- Ask individual pupils to add different numbers using counters (e.g., 3 + 1, 2 + 2). - Provide guidance and corrections where needed.

- Take turns adding numbers with counters. - Ask questions if unsure about the addition.

STEP 4: NOTE TAKING

- Write the addition problems (e.g., 1 + 2, 3 + 1) on the board. - Encourage pupils to write the problems in their notebooks.

- Copy the addition problems in their notebooks. - Write the answers to each problem.

 

EVALUATION:

  1. What is 2 + 2?
  2. Add 1 + 3.

CLASSWORK:

  • Pupils should complete similar addition problems in their notebooks (e.g., 3 + 1, 4 + 1).

CONCLUSION:

The teacher commends the pupils positively for their participation.

 

PERIOD 3 and 4:

PRESENTATION

TEACHER’S ACTIVITY

PUPIL’S ACTIVITY

STEP 1: INTRODUCTION

- Introduce the idea of addition using small groups of objects (e.g., 2 apples and 1 apple). - Ask pupils how many objects there are after combining the two groups.

- Listen to the teacher and observe the addition using objects. - Respond when asked to count the total number of objects.

STEP 2: EXPLANATION

- Explain that the total number is the sum of the two groups combined. - Use the number cards to show addition examples such as 1 + 1, 2 + 3.

- Follow along as the teacher explains the process. - Ask questions if they need clarification.

STEP 3: DEMONSTRATION

- Demonstrate adding two groups of objects and counting the total number. - Use counters to show 1 + 2, 3 + 1, and other similar combinations.

- Observe and then try demonstrating addition with their own counters or objects.

STEP 4: NOTE TAKING

- Write additional addition problems on the board. - Have pupils write the problems and the answers in their notebooks.

- Copy the problems and answers into their notebooks.

EVALUATION:

  1. Add 3 + 2.
  2. What is 1 + 4?

CLASS ACTIVITY:

  • Pupils practice with counters to add numbers like 2 + 3, 4 + 1.

CLASSWORK:

  • Complete addition problems in their books (e.g., 2 + 2, 1 + 3).

CONCLUSION:

The teacher commends the pupils positively for their effort and participation.
