LESSON PLAN

Subject : Mathematics

Year :3 A

Time :10 am -11 am

Topic : LENGTH

Learning Area : Measure the lengths using standard units and understand the
relationship between units of the length

Learning Outcome :By the end of the lesson, pupils should be able to:-

i Read scales to the nearest division.

ii. Measure and record lengths of objects using the standard units
a. metres; and
b. centimetres
iii. Compare the lengths of two objects using standard units
a. metres; and
b. centimetres)

Thinking skill : Compare and relate the units of length

Values : Cooperation

Set Induction Q&A session: •Teacher paste prepared To arouse the pupils’ Real objects:-
(5minutes) 1. I have three scales in standard units (cm interest on the topic Book, pencil box,
pencils in my hand & m) on the whiteboard. taught pencil and eraser
now.Which of these • Teacher does the demo on To get the pupils
pencils is the measuring several objects: ready for the lesson Ruler, measuring
longest? a)book tape
2.How do we know b)pen To equip pupils with
the length of the c)eraser basic terms of length
object? • Teacher shows and explains
3.What do we use to reading of scales to the
measure the length nearest division.
of these objects? • Pupils read scales on metre
and centimetre rulers.
Expected answers:
1.Yes
2. Measure/estimate
the length by
looking at its height
3.Ruler,measuring
tape

Development Measuring the 1. Teacher asks pupils to get To enable pupils Measuring tape
(45 minutes) lengths and write the in group by having head- measure the objects Desk
scales numbered of 1-5. by using specific tool Pencil box
and write down the Textbook
2. Teacher gets the pupils to scales correctly
do the activity together
where as:
Teacher emphasises • Pupils measure and record
that the measuring lengths of objects using To expose the pupils
should start from the metre or centimetre rulers. to the units of lengths
‘0’ mark of the tape • Pupils measure and
compare lengths of objects
using standard units.
e.g.
The pencil is 15 cm long.
The crayon is 10 cm long. Prepared table of
The pencil is 5 cm longer unit conversion
Understand the than To ensure the pupils
relationship between the crayon know the relationship Exercise sheet
units of length between various
-Convert the units of 5.Teacher shows a table on units of length
length unit conversion
i.e: 6.Teacher distributes handout
1 cm =10 mm on incomplete table of units
1 m = 100cm conversion and asks the
1 m = 1000mm pupils to do complete it
Closure Moral value: Teacher concludes the To check the pupils’
(10 minutes) Cooperation session by:- comprehension
1. revising some units used in towards the topic
measuring objects
2. asking some question To encourage the
regarding the topic pupils to do work
spontaneously together in future
3.appreciating the pupils activities
cooperation during the lesson
4. teacher informs the pupils
to get ready for the next
lesson that is “Basic
operation involving length”
