| Stage/ Time | Content | Teaching Learning Activity | Remark | ||||||
| Induction Set (±5 minutes) | Questions:- 1. How are you today? 2. Can you guess what I have in the plastic bag? 3. What you can do with these green beans? | 1. A plastic bag which contents green beans will be shown. 2. Pupils are asked to guess what is inside the plastic bag. 3. Pupils give opinion on what they normally do with the green beans. | Aids: 1. Plastic bag 2. Green beans Thinking skills: 1. Generate idea 2. Identifying Moral Value: 1. Self-confidence 2. Co-operate | ||||||
| Lesson Development Step 1 (±15 minutes) | Estimation and approximation Eg.
| 1. Pupils dip their hand into the plastic bag and take a handful of green beans. 2. Pupils estimate the amount of green beans that have been taken. 3. Pupils count an do approximation. 4. Pupils recount the estimation and the approximation of the green beans and find the different. | Aids: 1. Plastic bag 2. Green beans 3. Paper box Thinking skills: 1. Generate idea 2. Estimation Moral Value: 1. Carefulness 2. Co-operate | ||||||
| Step 2 (±20 minutes ) | Number Lines 1. If the number in ones is ‘4’ or less than ‘4’, round down the number to the lower 10. 2. If the number in ones is ‘5’ or more than ‘5’, round up the number to the higher 10. | 1.
2. Teacher explains the number line. 3. Pupils are asked to draw a number line. 4. Pupils are asked to round up the number to the nearest 10. 5. Pupils are asked to do a few questions on the white board. Eg: 1. 151 2.453 3.1089 4.1046 5.1438 6.1755 | Aids: 1. Number line 2. Question cards Thinking skills: 1. Generate idea 2.

| Step 3 (±15 minutes ) | Consolidation Activity | 1. Teacher asks the pupils to form tree groups. 2. Teacher distributes the worksheet to each groups. 3. Pupils do the worksheet under the guidance of teacher. | Aids: 1. Worksheet Thinking skills: 1. Generate idea 2. Logical mathemathics Moral Value: 1. Co-operate 2. Diligent | ||||||
| Closure (±5 minutes ) | Exercise at home (refer: Mathematic Year 3: Activity Book ) | 1. Pupils ask to do summary on what they have learn. 2. Teacher access pupils with exercises. 3. Teacher explains how to do the task. 4. Pupils need to submit the task by tomorrow. | Aids: 1. Exercises from activity book Thinking skills: 1. Generate idea Moral Value: 1. Carefulness 2. Diligent |
Refleksi :
For the introduction set, the students feel so happy when they need to put their hand into the plastic bag to feel what is inside the plastic bag. I think that’s the way we can actually attract pupils’ attraction on what we are going to learn today. There is a pupil name Toh Yue Qing. She never talk to any of the teacher in our school. At the beginning, I thought it will be very hard for me to get her attention to my teaching, but when I took out the green beans, she participated in the guessing game. So, I think that’s a good set induction.
For step 2, I’ve made the number line with colour papers. As it is colourful, it easily gets pupils attention. So, pupils understand the concept of rounding off the number to the nearest ten.
For step 3, consolidation activity, I’ve divided pupils into 3 groups:-
| a. 5 Questions | b. 12 Questions | c. 20 Questions |
| Toh Yue Qing | Lee Pei Chyi Ngi Chin Enn Woon Zhi Shen | Lau Wei Xian Woon Shi Yen |
The groups are divided according to the standard. And I found out that it really works as they all finished about at the same time.
