Lesson Plan Decimals and Fractions

(What you want to achieve)

by the end of the session the learner will able to:

S.M.A.R.T (Specific -- Measurable -- Achievable -- Realistic -- Time-scaled)

National Curriculum

Resources

Impart to students how to assess, identify, classify and label different number forms.

Should be able to label and classify the following types of numbers: Whole numbers, counting numbers, non-whole numbers, rational numbers, at least some basic irrational numbers, etc. Learning will occur over a four-week period. It shall start with the basics and there will be interim quizzes and tests to ensure that the knowledge is being absorbed. Poor performance on such quizzes and tests may require that some topics be re-covered or drilled down on.

All should be able to understand basic decimals and fractions.

Many will be able to do most but not all of the work

Some will master all of it.

Anticipated Problems and Remedial Strategies (**including issues linked to first language, learning styles, attendance, punctuality, etc., etc.

There might be some confusion about similar but different types of figures, when/how to round, etc.

Assumed Knowledge

Students should be able to count at least basic numbers and have at least a concept of basic topics such as positive/negative numbers, whole numbers, etc. even if they do not know the technical terms. Ability to add, subtract, multiply and divide are a necessity.

Strategies for Differentiation

Mixed learning styles: Kinaesthetic ( Audio ( Visual (

Opportunities for individual & group work ( Task-based learning ( Graded tasks / worksheets (

Supplementary work ( Closer monitoring of weaker students ( Mixing students of different / same abilities (

Others / Comments: Heavy focus on walking and talking through problems and then allowing students to do the same.
