Lesson Content/Board Summary

Examinations: Review of Second Term’s Work

Key Topics for Revision

This revision covers important topics learned during the second term to help pupils prepare for examinations.

Numbers and Counting:
- Counting objects up to 20.
- Identifying and writing numbers 1-20.
- Comparing numbers (greater than, less than, equal to).
Basic Operations:
- Simple addition up to 10 (e.g., 3 + 2 = ?).
- Simple subtraction up to 10 (e.g., 5 – 1 = ?).
Shapes:
- Identifying 2-D shapes: Circle, Square, Triangle, Rectangle.
- Drawing these basic shapes.
Measurement:
- Comparing lengths (long/short).
- Comparing weights (heavy/light).

Instructional Procedures

Review of Second Term’s Work

Step 1: Introduction

Time: 5 minutes
Teaching Skill: Set Induction
Teacher’s Activity: The teacher greets the pupils and tells them that today’s lesson will be a review of all the topics taught during the term to prepare them for their examinations. The teacher asks pupils to mention some topics they remember learning in Mathematics.
Pupils’ Activity: Pupils respond to greetings and mention topics like numbers, addition, shapes.
Learning Point: Pupils are aware of the lesson’s focus on revision.

Step 2: Number Recognition and Counting

Time: 8 minutes
Teaching Skill: Explaining/Questioning
Teacher’s Activity: The teacher displays flashcards with numbers from 1 to 20 and asks pupils to identify them. The teacher also leads pupils in counting objects around the classroom.
Pupils’ Activity: Pupils identify numbers on flashcards and count objects as instructed.
Learning Point: Pupils reinforce their number recognition and counting skills.

Step 3: Basic Addition and Subtraction

Time: 10 minutes
Teaching Skill: Demonstration/Practice
Teacher’s Activity: The teacher writes simple addition and subtraction problems on the board (e.g., 5 + 3 = ?, 7 – 2 = ?). The teacher demonstrates how to solve them using fingers or drawing.
Pupils’ Activity: Pupils solve the problems orally and on their slates, showing their working.
Learning Point: Pupils practice and improve their basic arithmetic skills.

Step 4: Identification and Drawing of Shapes

Time: 7 minutes
Teaching Skill: Visualisation/Drawing
Teacher’s Activity: The teacher shows charts of basic 2-D shapes (circle, square, triangle, rectangle) and asks pupils to name them. The teacher then asks pupils to draw these shapes on their slates.
Pupils’ Activity: Pupils name the shapes and draw them accurately on their slates.
Learning Point: Pupils consolidate their knowledge of basic geometric shapes.

Step 5: Review of Measurement Concepts

Time: 5 minutes
Teaching Skill: Comparison/Discussion
Teacher’s Activity: The teacher holds up two objects of different lengths (e.g., a short pencil and a long ruler) and asks pupils to identify which is longer or shorter. The teacher repeats with weight (heavy/light).
Pupils’ Activity: Pupils compare the objects and describe their attributes (longer, shorter, heavier, lighter).
Learning Point: Pupils review simple measurement comparisons.

Step 6: Class Discussion and Question Answering

Time: 5 minutes
Teaching Skill: Questioning/Feedback
Teacher’s Activity: The teacher opens the floor for pupils to ask questions about any topic they find challenging from the term’s work. The teacher provides clear explanations and further examples.
Pupils’ Activity: Pupils ask questions and listen attentively to the teacher’s explanations.
Learning Point: Pupils clarify any difficulties they have with the term’s topics.

Step 7: Evaluation/Review

Time: 5 minutes

Teaching Skill: Questioning/Assessment

Teacher’s Activity: The teacher evaluates the learning by asking the following questions:

Count from 1 to 10.
What is 4 + 3?
What is 6 – 2?
Name two shapes you have learned.

Pupils’ Activity: Pupils answer orally and in writing.

Learning Point: Pupils demonstrate understanding of the lesson.

Step 8: Conclusion

Time: 2 minutes
Teaching Skill: Summarising
Teacher’s Activity: The teacher summarises the revision by reminding pupils of the key areas covered and encourages them to continue studying at home. The teacher praises their participation.
Pupils’ Activity: Pupils listen and note the importance of continuous revision.
Learning Point: Pupils understand the need for further practice.

Lesson Keywords

Revision – To go over past lessons to remember them.
Numbers – Symbols used for counting and calculating.
Addition – Putting numbers together to find the total.
Subtraction – Taking one number away from another.
Shapes – The outline of an area or figure.

Differentiation

For pupils who are struggling, the teacher will provide simpler problems and more individual attention. For advanced pupils, the teacher will give slightly more challenging revision questions or ask them to explain concepts to their peers.

Note for teachers using this lesson plan

Teachers should ensure that the revision questions are varied and cover all essential topics taught in the second term. Encourage active participation and create a supportive environment for pupils to ask questions without fear. The use of visual aids is very important for Primary 1 pupils.
