THIRD TERM MATHEMATICS SCHEME OF WORK FOR PRIMARY SIX (6)

WEEK 1 CONTENTS: REVISION OF LAST TERMS WORK.

WEEK 2 TOPIC: OPEN SENTENCES

Open sentences

LESSON OBJECTIVE: Pupils should be able to:

Solve problems express as open sentences
Interpret words into open sentences and solve them. E.g.
If 40 notes are to be shared among 5 pupils, how many books will be given to a pupil?

5 pupils ———————-40 notes

1 pupils ———————– (40 / 5) notes

= 8 notes

Find the letters e.g. 2y+6 = 30

2y = 30 – 6

2y = 24 divide both sides by 2

2y/2 = 24/2

Y = 12

Solve more problems on simple questions

4x + 2 = 6 + 2x collect like terms

= 4x – 2x = 6 -2 divide both sides by 2

2/2 = 4/2

X = 12

QUANTITATIVE REASONING: children should be able to solve related problem on quantitative aptitude.

WEEK 3 CONTENTS: ANGLES (MEASURING OF ANGLES).

LESSON OBJECTIVE: Pupils should be able to:

Measure angles in degrees using clock .e.g. 30°, 60°, 90°, 45°, etc.

Note: sum of angles of a point is 360°, therefore between one hour and other hour is 30°, it between two hours is 60°, and so on. One minute is 60°. E.g. draw a 120° on a clock.

Pupils should be able to use protractor to measure angled in degree as well as e.g. 30°, 45°, 60 °…
Measuring angle in a plane.
Find the unknown sum of angles in a triangle e.g. the unknown angle since sum of angle of a triangle is 180 °,

QUANTITATIVE REASONING: Pupils should be able to solve quantitative aptitude problems relating to angles.

WEEK 4 CONTENTS: POLYGON

LESSON OBJECTIVE: Pupils should be able to:

Name some of the two dimensional shapes not exceeding octagon e.g polygon, triangle and quadrilateral.

Quadrilateral: rectangle, square, kite etc.

Polygon: is a closed plane shape bounded by straight line e.g pentagon, hexagon, octagon etc

They should be able to draw line of symmetry e.g square, pentagon etc.

Note: Number of sides is number of line of symmetry.

They should be able to identify and appreciate 3- dimensional shapes e.g Cube, cone, and triangular prism. I.e. Closed or solid object.
Pupils should be able to draw and name the sides of polygon including their names. E.g. Pentagon – 5 sides(3 triangle)

Hexagon – 6 sides etc. (4 triangles)

QUANTITATIVE REASONING: they should be able to solve quantitative aptitude problems relating to polygon.

WEEK 5 TOPICS: SCALE DRAWING

Scale drawing
They should be able to develop interest in converting length and distances of objects in his environment to any scale.
Quantitative aptitude

LESSON OBJECTIVE: Pupils should be able to:

Draw plans according to a given scale.
Take out pupils to measure the dimension of farms, garden, playground etc. using the scale.

WEEK 6 CONTENTS:

PLANE FIGURES
QUANTITATIVE APTITUDE

LESSON OBJECTIVE: Pupils should be able to:

Identify the basic properties rectangle and a square e.g
Discover and appreciate the various square and rectangle objects in his environment, e.g cube of sugar has six square plane sides and others.

Rectangle: boxes, teacher table and so on. Six plane faces, opposite faces are equal.

They should be able to review basic properties of
Isosceles triangle:
Two sides are equal
Two of its angles are equal
One line of symmetry
Equilateral triangle:
All sides and angles are equal
Three lines of symmetry
Right angle Triangle:
It has one right angle
Two sides are perpendicular
Longest side face the right angle (opposite) called hypotenuse.
Scalene triangle
None of its side equal
No line of symmetry
None of its angles are equal

QUANTITATIVE APTITUDE: they should be able to name the shape given correctly.

WEEK 7 CONTENT: EVERYDAY STATISTICS

POPULATION

LESSON OBJECTIVE: Pupils will be able to:

The meaning of population i.e. population is all people who live in an area e.g. state, country, community etc.
Interpret pictograms and bar graphs. E.g. using picture of represents data. i.e. 5 people represent.

Bar graph: the use of rectangular bar to represent data

Collect data and prepare tally of where necessary e.g. (2, 4, 2, 3,3,4,3).
Use table to prepare bar graphs.

Note: Scale is necessary to draw bar graph i.e. 2cm represent 5 units and so on.

Calculate data represented on pie-chart.
Perform some experiments on data collection e.g. tossing of a coin.
Pupils should be able to find the mode, median and mean of data. (2, 3, 4, 5, 2, 2, 3, 4).

Note;

MODE: the most occurred in data collected or the one with highest frequency (tall mark)

MEDIAN: the middle i.e. of odd on is gang to be in the middle and the two number divided by 2 will give median number.

MEAN: the total of the data collected, divided by the total frequency i.e. total number of appearance of all date.

QUANTITATIVE APTITUDE: the children should be able to solve problem of statistics.

WEEK 8 TOPICS: MEASUREMENT OF HEIGHT AND DISTANCES

LESSON OBJECTIVE: Pupils should be able to:

Measure the height of human beings, building tree and distance. E.g
By writing the height(in metres) on the wall of the classroom for children to measure their heights
Use tapes to find the dimension of the classroom
Measure the height of different trees in the school compound and record their observation.
Compare their heights in the classroom
Use tapes to measure longer distances and record their findings
Measure hand and leg spans and differentiate between the two. –compare the hand and leg spans of measuring the classroom.

QUANTITATIVE REASONING: solve quantitative aptitude problems involving the topic.

WEEK 8 TOPIC: BINARY NUMBERS SYSTEM

Numbers in base 2
Conversion of base 2 numbers to base 10 numbers and vice versa
Quantitative reasoning

WEEK 11: STATISTICS CONTINUED

Mode of data
Mean of data
Median of data
Quantitative reasoning

LESSON OBJECTIVE: Pupils should be able to:

Find the mode of a given data e.g. (a) find the mode of 1, 6, 7, 5, 9, 6, 3,2
Calculate the mean of a given data e.g. (a) 4, 5, 4, 4, 6, 7.

2, 4, 1, 3,,7,6,8
3, 1,2, 4, 6,4

Noting that it should be arranged from ascending order to descending order or vice versa before it is determined. Also where two figures appears in the middle as in (b), both should be added and divided by 2 to determine the median.
