Lesson Content/Board Summary

Term’s Work Review

1. Numbers and Counting

Numbers are used for counting and representing quantities.

We have learned to count and write numbers from 1 to 100.

Counting: 1, 2, 3, … 100
Identifying numbers
Ordering numbers (e.g., smallest to largest)

2. Basic Operations: Addition and Subtraction

Addition (+) is putting numbers together. We learned to add numbers up to 20.

Example: 5 + 3 = 8

Subtraction (-) is taking away numbers. We learned to subtract numbers up to 20.

Example: 10 – 4 = 6

3. Shapes

Shapes are figures with different forms. We learned about basic 2D shapes.

The following are common 2D shapes:

Circle: A round shape with no corners.
Square: A shape with four equal sides and four corners.
Triangle: A shape with three sides and three corners.
Rectangle: A shape with four sides and four corners, where opposite sides are equal.

4. Money

Money is used to buy things. In Nigeria, our currency is Naira and Kobo.

We have learned to recognize different Naira notes and coins.

Examples of Nigerian currency:

Notes: N5, N10, N20, N50, N100, N200, N500, N1000
Coins: 50 Kobo, N1, N2

5. Measurement

Measurement helps us compare things like length, weight, and capacity.

We learned to compare items using words like:

Longer / Shorter
Heavier / Lighter
More / Less

6. Time

Time helps us know when things happen.

We learned about:

Days of the week (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday)
Months of the year (January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December)
Telling time to the hour (e.g., 2 o’clock, 5 o’clock)

Teaching Methods/Instructional Techniques

Discussion, Lecture, Demonstration, Question and Answer, Visual Aids

Instructional Procedures

Review and Assessment

Step 1: Introduction

Time: 5 minutes
Teaching Skill: Set Induction
Teacher’s Activity: The teacher greets the pupils, reminds them that examinations are approaching, and explains that today’s lesson will be a review of all topics covered this term to help them prepare.
Pupils’ Activity: Pupils respond to greetings and listen attentively to the teacher’s explanation.
Learning Point: Pupils understand the purpose of the lesson and prepare for revision.

Step 2: Review of Numbers and Counting

Time: 7 minutes
Teaching Skill: Recalling/Drilling
Teacher’s Activity: The teacher guides pupils to count numbers from 1 to 50, then 51 to 100, and asks pupils to write some numbers on the board. The teacher also asks questions on ordering numbers.
Pupils’ Activity: Pupils count aloud with the teacher, write numbers on the board, and answer questions on number ordering.
Learning Point: Pupils revise counting, writing, and ordering numbers.

Step 3: Review of Basic Operations (Addition and Subtraction)

Time: 7 minutes
Teaching Skill: Problem Solving/Demonstration
Teacher’s Activity: The teacher writes simple addition and subtraction problems (within 20) on the board and demonstrates how to solve them. The teacher then gives pupils more problems to solve in their notebooks.
Pupils’ Activity: Pupils observe the teacher’s demonstration, then solve the given problems in their notebooks.
Learning Point: Pupils reinforce their understanding and skills in basic addition and subtraction.

Step 4: Review of Shapes

Time: 5 minutes
Teaching Skill: Identification/Visualisation
Teacher’s Activity: The teacher displays charts of 2D shapes (circle, square, triangle, rectangle) and asks pupils to identify each shape. The teacher also asks pupils to draw some shapes.
Pupils’ Activity: Pupils identify the shapes from the charts and draw them in their notebooks.
Learning Point: Pupils revise the identification and drawing of basic 2D shapes.

Step 5: Review of Measurement and Time

Time: 7 minutes
Teaching Skill: Comparison/Discussion
Teacher’s Activity: The teacher brings out two objects (e.g., a long ruler and a short pencil) and asks pupils to compare their lengths. The teacher then discusses days of the week, months of the year, and shows how to tell time to the hour using a clock face.
Pupils’ Activity: Pupils compare objects, recite days and months, and practice telling time.
Learning Point: Pupils revise concepts of simple measurement and telling time.

Step 6: Review of Money

Time: 4 minutes
Teaching Skill: Recognition/Discussion
Teacher’s Activity: The teacher shows pupils different Nigerian currency notes and coins (play money) and asks them to identify each denomination.
Pupils’ Activity: Pupils identify the different Naira notes and coins shown by the teacher.
Learning Point: Pupils revise the recognition of Nigerian currency.

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 numbers from 1 to 10.
Solve: 7 + 2 = ?
Solve: 9 – 3 = ?
Draw a circle and a square.
Mention one Nigerian currency note.

Pupils’ Activity: Pupils answer orally and in writing.

Learning Point: Pupils demonstrate understanding of the lesson.

Step 8: Conclusion

Time: 5 minutes
Teaching Skill: Summarization/Encouragement
Teacher’s Activity: The teacher summarizes the main topics reviewed and encourages pupils to study hard for their upcoming examinations. The teacher provides take-home assignments for further practice.
Pupils’ Activity: Pupils listen to the summary, ask questions, and copy the take-home assignment.
Learning Point: Pupils consolidate their learning and receive guidance for further study.

Lesson Keywords

Numbers – Symbols used for counting.
Addition – Putting numbers together.
Subtraction – Taking one number away from another.
Shapes – Forms of objects like circle, square, triangle.
Money – Currency used to buy goods and services.
Review – To look over something again.

Differentiation

For struggling learners, the teacher will provide extra one-on-one attention during problem-solving and use more visual aids. Advanced learners will be given more complex problems and encouraged to explain their solutions to their peers.

Note for teachers using this lesson plan

Teachers should ensure all pupils participate actively in the review. Use clear and simple language appropriate for Primary 1. Be patient and provide positive reinforcement to encourage all pupils, especially during the evaluation. Adjust the time for each section based on the pupils’ engagement and understanding, ensuring all key areas are covered.
