Jss3 Third Term Mathematics Lesson Note and Scheme of work

Week 1: Introduction to Basic Arithmetic

Lesson Note: Begin with a review of addition and subtraction. Introduce multiplication and division. Emphasize the importance of understanding the order of operations.

Scheme of Work: Activities include mental math exercises, group discussions on real-life applications of arithmetic, and simple problem-solving tasks.

Week 2: Exploring Fractions

Lesson Note: Delve into the concept of fractions. Teach the students how to add and subtract fractions with like denominators.

Scheme of Work: Engage the class in hands-on activities like cutting fruits into fractions, and group exercises on adding and subtracting fractions.

Week 3: Introduction to Geometry

Lesson Note: Cover basic geometric shapes (circle, square, triangle). Discuss properties and characteristics of each shape.

Scheme of Work: Conduct a shape scavenger hunt in the classroom, where students identify objects based on their shapes. Introduce simple perimeter concepts.

Week 4: Understanding Measurement

Lesson Note: Introduce standard units of measurement – length, mass, and capacity. Teach conversions between units.

Scheme of Work: Organize a class survey, collect data, and create simple graphs. Discuss the interpretation of the obtained information.

Week 7: Patterns and Sequences

Lesson Note: Explore numerical and geometric patterns. Teach students to identify and extend sequences.

Scheme of Work: Conduct pattern recognition games and hands-on activities. Encourage creativity in creating their patterns.

Week 8: Recap and Assessment

Lesson Note: Review key concepts covered during the term. Conduct a formative assessment to gauge understanding.

Scheme of Work: Prepare and administer a cumulative assessment, incorporating a mix of questions to evaluate overall comprehension and retention.
