PRESENTATION

TEACHER’S ACTIVITY

PUPIL’S ACTIVITY

STEP 1

MENTAL MATHS

The teacher begins the lesson with some mental calculations

Count in 10s from any multiples of 10 between 300-600

Pupils respond and participate

STEP 2

CONCEPT

DEVELOPMENT

The teacher draws a number line on the board missing out some numbers as follows

 

The pupils are asked to draw the number line in their book and fill out the missing numbers. One of them is asked to solve it on the board

 

The teacher circles the number 601 and asks the pupils to mention numbers smaller than 601(597-600) and bigger than 601(602-607)

 

The teacher then covers the number line and writes numbers 597-607 randomly on the board and asks the pupils to arrange them from the smallest to the greatest and also from the greatest to the smallest

 

The teacher repeats this for 314-323, 267-274, 467-473

 

The teacher then draws the below number line on the board

The teacher then ask the learners what number will come after 340 which is 350 because the number is going up in tens

The learners are then asked to fill up the remaining missing number

 

The same thing is done for the below number line(which is counting in 5’s)

                                           

The teacher then writes 600 and 670 on the board and asks which is bigger? The learners are then asked to point in the direction the number 600 will go on the number line(which is the left-hand side because 600 is less than 670), she also asks the direction 670 will go on the number line(which is the right hand side because 670 is greater than 600)

The teacher repeats this process with other different numbers- 213 and 263, 198 and 214, 345 and 415

Pupils pay attention and participate

STEP 3

CLASS-WORK

1. Fill in the missing  numbers on the number line

               

2. Can you find these numbers-495, 505, 550,  on the number line? Write them on the number line

 

3. Which number is the biggest? Show it on the number line


Pupils attempt their class work

STEP 4

HOME-WORK

1. Fill in the missing  numbers on the number line

 

2. Can you find these numbers-940, 905, 965, 930, 920, 945, 955, 925, 935, 910, 960 on the number line? Write them on the number line

3. Which number is the biggest? Show it on the number line

 


Pupils attempt their class work

STEP 5

SUMMARY

The teacher summarizes by ensuring the pupils practice severally on the number line

 

She marks their class works, makes corrections where necessary and commends them positively

 

 

PERIOD 2: Comparing, ordering and rounding off numbers

PRESENTATION

TEACHER’S ACTIVITY

PUPIL’S ACTIVITY

STEP 1

MENTAL MATHS

The teacher begins the lesson with some mental calculations

What is 100 more than

1. 151

2. 343

3. 777

4. 463

5. 148

 

What is 100 less than

6. 837

7. 471

8. 540

9. 223

10. 654

Pupils respond and participate

STEP 2

CONCEPT

DEVELOPMENT

The teacher writes two numbers on the board: 429 and 392 and ask the learners to use pictorials to represent both numbers on the board(squares as hundreds, lines as tens and dots as ones)

429- 4 squares 2 lines and 9 dots

392- 3 squares 9 lines and 2 dots

The teacher then explains that 429 is bigger than 392 because  392 has 3 hundreds while 429 has 4 hundreds and 4 hundreds is bigger than 3 hundreds

 

The teacher also asks the pupils to use the base ten kit to represent both numbers(to help visualize the difference in size between the two number)

The teacher then explains that we can show that 429 is bigger than 392 by putting in a greater than sign: 429 > 392

 

The same processes is repeated for 327 and 372(where it is shown that even though both numbers have 3 hundreds, the tens digit in 327 is 2 while the tens digit in 372 is 7 which means 327 is smaller than 372). We an show that 327 is smaller than 372 by putting in a less than sign: 327 <  372

 

CLASS ACTIVITY

The teacher then writes 289 and 302 on the board and ask the pupils to use the method she just explained to compare both numbers. The same is applied to 309 and 352

 

The teacher then draws the below number line on the board and asks the pupils to circle 114

 

She then asks the pupils which number is closer to114, 110 or 120. She explains that looking at the number line, It is obvious that 114 is closer to 110.

With this, she explains that rounding off means to find the multiple of 10 which is closer to the given numbers

 

For 112, it is closer to 110 so we round it off to 110

For 117, it is closer to 120 so we round it off to 120

As a rule, 115 is round off to 120
