Instructional Procedures
Step 1: Introduction
Time: 5 minutes
Teaching Skill: Set Induction
Teacher’s Activity: The teacher greets the pupils and reviews the previous lesson on counting numbers from 1 to 399 in Yoruba. The teacher then introduces the new topic, “OǸKÀ LÁTI IRINWÓ DÉ ÈÉDÉGBÈTA” (Numbers from 400 to 500).
Pupils’ Activity: Pupils respond to greetings, participate in the review, and listen attentively to the new topic introduction.

Step 2: Presentation of Numbers and Explanation
Time: 15 minutes
Teaching Skill: Explanation/Demonstration
Teacher’s Activity: The teacher writes numbers 400 to 500 on the board, showing their Yoruba names and briefly explaining the formation of key numbers (e.g., Irinwó, Irinwó léèkan, Irinwó léèwàá, Irinwó lélógún, Èédégbèta) using the chart and number cards. The teacher demonstrates how to pronounce each number clearly.
Pupils’ Activity: Pupils observe the teacher, listen to explanations, and pay attention to the pronunciations of the numbers.
Learning Point: Pupils learn how to identify and pronounce Yoruba numbers from 400 to 500 and understand their formation.
Step 3: Reading and Repetition of Numbers
Time: 10 minutes
Teaching Skill: Repetition/Drilling
Teacher’s Activity: The teacher leads the pupils in reading the numbers from 400 to 500 from the board, first in unison, then individually. The teacher corrects any pronunciation errors.
Pupils’ Activity: Pupils repeat the numbers after the teacher and read them individually, practicing correct pronunciation.
Learning Point: Pupils improve their fluency and accuracy in reading Yoruba numbers from 400 to 500.
Step 4: Writing the Numbers
Time: 5 minutes
Teaching Skill: Guided Practice
Teacher’s Activity: The teacher instructs pupils to copy the numbers and their Yoruba names from the board into their exercise books, emphasizing neatness and correct spellings.
Pupils’ Activity: Pupils carefully copy the numbers from the board into their notebooks.
Learning Point: Pupils practice writing Yoruba numbers from 400 to 500 correctly.
Step 5: Evaluation/Review
Time: 5 minutes
Teaching Skill: Questioning/Assessment
Teacher’s Activity: The teacher evaluates the learning by asking the following questions:
- Kí ni Irinwó ní èdè Gẹ̀ẹ́sì? (What is 400 in English?)
- Kọ oǹkà 425 ní èdè Yorubà. (Write 425 in Yoruba.)
- Ṣàlàyé bí a ṣe ń pe oǹkà 450 ní èdè Yorubà. (Explain how 450 is called in Yoruba.)

Lesson Keywords
- Oǹkà – Numbers
- Irinwó – Four hundred (400)
- Èédégbèta – Five hundred (500)
- Kíkà – Reading/Counting
- Kíkọ – Writing
Differentiation
For fast learners, the teacher will encourage them to form simple sentences using the Yoruba numbers learned. For slow learners, the teacher will provide additional one-on-one support, simplified charts, and more repetitive practice to help them grasp the numbers.
Note for teachers using this lesson plan
Teachers should ensure that pupils are actively engaged through repetitive reading and writing exercises. Emphasize the unique structure of Yoruba counting, especially the additive and subtractive patterns. Use visual aids extensively to help pupils associate the numerical figures with their Yoruba names. Encourage pupils to use these numbers in everyday conversations to reinforce learning.
