STEP 1

MENTAL MATHS

The teacher begins the lesson with some mental calculations

If I count in 100s, give me the number before:

1 400

2 500

3 150

4 250

5 550

6 250

7 100

8 450

9 800

10 200

Pupils respond and participate

STEP 2

CONCEPT

DEVELOPMENT

The teacher

• Gives each group cut-outs of the following coins (25k, 50k) and bank notes (N5, N10, N20, N 50, N 100, N 200, N 500, N 1000).

• Asks them to show you the following: the coins that will make up 50k,

the coins that will make up 75k,

the notes that will make up N 40,

the coins and notes that will make up N10.75k and

the coins and notes that will make up N100.50k.

• After each exercise ask the learners if the answer they gave you is the only correct answer. (There will usually be many different ways to make up an amount of money.

Try to get as many different ways as possible by asking lots of learners to give different answers.)

• Discusses how various coins and notes can be used.

The learners will sometimes be limited in their answers because of the coin and note cut-outs they have received but they could talk about other possible ways if they share resources between the groups.

ACTIVITY II

The teacher

• In this activity you work through some different word problems that involve money. The problems involve addition, subtraction, repeated addition (multiplication) and sharing.

• Each time you do a problem, work through it step by step with the class, discussing how you read the problem carefully to find out what to do in order to solve the problem.

• The discussion should involve identifying the numbers involved in the question and the operation that must be used to solve the problem. Make use of money cut outs to demonstrate the problem solving process.

Here are 4 suggested problems for you to work through with the whole class. You should make up some more problems if you think the class needs more practice before they do the individual classwork activity.

1 Bisi has N30. Her mom gives her N10.50k. How much money does she have now?

(Addition is needed to solve the problem. The answer is N40.50k.)

2 Jola has N1.70. He buys a sweet for 90k. How much money does he have left?

(Subtraction is needed to solve the problem. The answer is 80k.)

3 I have 50k. Can I share it equally amongst 5 children? (Sharing is needed to solve the problem. The answer is yes. Each child will get 10k)

4 Toffees cost 50k each. Taiwo bought 5 toffees. How much did she spend? (Repeated addition (multiplication) is needed to solve the problem. The answer is N2.50)

Pupils pay attention and participate

STEP 3

CONCEPT

DEVELOPMENT

The teacher

• Writes the following money problem on the board or read it to the class.

Suzanne spent N1.20k on sweets that cost 20k each. How many sweets did she buy?

• Says: We are going to think about: What is the key word? What is the question? What are the numbers? (We will answer these questions one at a time in this lesson.)

• Draws a picture on the board to show how the money is divided up to buy the sweets.

• Answers these questions step-by-step with your learners, as shown in the table below

Suzanne spent N1.20 on sweets that cost 20k each.

How many sweets did she buy?

What is the question?

How many sweets did she buy?

What are the numbers?

• N1.20 spent

• 20k per sweet

Solution:

Suzanne bought 6 sweets.

CLASS ACTIVITY

The teacher

• Works through another money problem with the class. Use guiding questions to help them interpret the problem and think of a way to solve it.

Tanwa pays N80 to get to school each month. She pays with N90. How much change does she receive?

• Asks: What is the key word? What is the question? What are the numbers?

Number sentence:

N90 – N80 = N10

• She will get N10 change.

ACTIVITY II

The teacher

Sheila sells hotdogs for N4 each. Make a table to help her find the costs for large orders.

• Shows the learners how to read the table to find out the costs of large orders.

For example,

• If she sells 4 hotdogs, she gets R____? (N16)

• If she sells 7 hotdogs, she gets R____? (N28)

• If she sells 9 hotdogs, she gets R____? (N36)
