PRESENTATION

TEACHER’S ACTIVITY

PUPIL’S ACTIVITY

STEP 1: INTRODUCTION

- Introduce the topic by discussing the concept of ordering objects by size.

- Listen and engage in the discussion about ordering objects.

STEP 2: EXPLANATION

- Explain that we can compare lengths by ordering objects from the shortest to the longest.

STEP 3: INTERACTIVE SESSION

- Ask pupils to order some pencils, books, and rulers from shortest to longest.

- Pupils actively participate by arranging objects according to length.

STEP 4: NOTE TAKING

- Write examples on the board showing the ordering of objects (e.g., "Short pencil, medium pencil, long pencil").

- Pupils copy the examples of ordered objects into their notebooks.

 

EVALUATION:
