Example of a lesson plan
Some teachers may find daily lesson plans useful, although these are not a formal policy requirement. An example of how to complete a lesson plan is below.
Date: Chapter: 1 Content/concept: Whole numbers
Grade: 9 Unit: 1
Exercise: 1–5 Exercise 1
Links with previous knowledge or exercise: Learners should already be able to: y do mental calculations with whole numbers including multiplication facts up to 12×12 y do calculations with whole numbers, integers, common and decimal fractions in written form as well as using a calculator
y identify prime numbers up to 100 y list the properties of whole numbers, integers, common and decimal fractions y understand the equivalent forms of common fraction and decimal fraction forms of the same number y order and compare whole numbers, integers, common and decimal fractions.
Links with next activity: This exercise helps learners revise the necessary concepts in preparation for comparing and operating with whole numbers and integers.
Teaching plan
y Spend time assessing learners’ knowledge of the basic skills, as listed above, before doing the exercises in this unit. Learners may struggle if this revision is not done.
y Revise the various terms used in this unit, such as prime, composite, whole numbers, counting numbers, substitution and integers.
y Ensure learners can distinguish between the different kinds of numbers. y Do at least one example together as a class. Use either the worked example in the Learner’s Book or supply an additional example.
y Learners complete the exercise on their own. y Mark the work in-class, by writing the answers on the board, and learners mark their own work. y Walk round the class and observe how learners coped with the exercise. y Identify learners who experienced difficulty and assign similar practice examples for homework.
