FIRST TERM MATHEMATICS SCHEME OF WORK FOR PRIMARY THREE (3)

THEME: WHOLE NUMBER

SUB THEME: WHOLE NUMBER

WEEK 1: Whole Numbers up to 99.

TEACHER’S ACTIVITIES:

  1. Teachers guides pupils to revise counting of numbers from 1 – 99 using counters and 100 – square charts. She adds one counter to 99 counters and recaps that 100 equals 99 + 1 i.e.  100 = 99 + 1.

TEACHER’S ACTIVITIES

  1. Teacher briefly looks back at fractions, she reminds them that a fraction is a small part or amount of something it is written using two numbers. The numerator which is the number above the lines tells the Numerator which is the above the line tells the number of parts that are being considered. The denominator which is the number below the line tells how many parts the whole number amount or shape is divided into.
