  • Writing numbers up to one million
  • Place value of numbers up to one million

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES:

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

  1. ) Count numbers from 1,000 to 1,000,000
  2. ) Write numbers correctly up to 1,000,000
  3. ) Identify place value of numbers up to one million

INSTRUCTIONAL TECHNIQUES:
Discussion, Explanation, Group Activities, Demonstration

INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS:
Place value charts, flashcards, number grid, abacus, number blocks

PERIOD 1 and 2

PRESENTATION

TEACHER’S ACTIVITY

PUPIL’S ACTIVITY

STEP 1 INTRODUCTION

Reviews numbers up to 9999

Respond and count aloud

STEP 2 EXPLANATION

Introduces numbers from 10,000 to 1,000,000 and explains using a number grid

Observe and ask questions

STEP 3 DEMONSTRATION

Demonstrates counting in tens, hundreds, thousands using abacus

Count along with teacher

STEP 4 NOTE TAKING

Guides students to copy notes on number counting

Copy notes in notebooks

NOTE:
Counting from 1000 to 1,000,000 involves understanding the number pattern. E.g., 1,000 → 10,000 → 100,000 → 1,000,000.

EVALUATION:

  1. Count from 10,000 to 60,000
  2. Write these numbers in words: 4,500, 25,000, 510,000

CLASSWORK: As in evaluation
ASSIGNMENT: Write and read aloud the numbers: 30,000; 700,000; 900,500
CONCLUSION: The teacher commends the pupils positively
