"ADVENTURING WITH NUMBERS"

FOREWORD
The Ministry of Education acknowledges that the learner performance in the area of numeracy requires urgent attention.
In 2003 a small group of Guyanese educators participated in a Study Tour to Honduras visiting schools in which
Interactive Radio Instruction was practiced. The findings revealed that the methodology is workable and most important,
that it is 'learner friendly.'
During 2006 the Interactive Radio Instruction (IRI) was introduced for Primary school teachers, learners and school
communities to become familiar with and sensitized to the elements of the programme.
The momentum has been constructed. The teachers are eager. The first and second graders are enthusiastic
participants. To date pupils of Grades One and Two nationwide are participating in this programme. From September
2008, the Grade Three programme will be aired.
The success of the Interactive Radio Instruction programme depends entirely on the continuous high level of supervision
by Headteachers and the teachers ensuring that the learners are on task.
The importance of follow-up work and practice exercises must be emphasized, if a high degree of success is to be
measured. Hence, this Teacher's Guide must be used as the Lesson Plan for Mathematics for the respective
grade.
Commendation is extended to the entire team who dedicated their time and talent to the development, design and testing
of this strategy.
Thanks to the Government of Guyana and the Inter-American Development Bank for placing their seal of approval on this
significant programme which will have powerful dividends for this cohort and generations to come.
Parents, teachers and learners 'tune in,' enjoy and learn from Adventuring with Numbers.

PREFACE
In 2008 IRI Mathematics has been extended to Grade 3 and has become entrenched in the curriculum. The initial
performance of the children at Grades 1 and 2 has shown significant improvement.
The various components of IRI methodology support the classroom teacher in that, they are provided with basic initial
training for using the methodology supported by a Teacher's Manual. There is also a programme offering classroom
support to teachers by Mathematics specialists, and opportunity to provide the radio production teams with regular
feedback. Such feedback is necessary for continuous improvement of the materials presented.
IRI Mathematics commences at Grade 1, continues at Grade 2 and is now in Grade 3. The methodology involved has
great potential and promise that could positively affect other subjects of the curriculum provided that educators, teachers,
parents and pupils continue with their enthusiasm as we move towards sustaining this methodology approach in
instructional design.

Best Wishes.

OVERVIEW:
TEACHER'S GUIDE FOR "ADVENTURING WITH NUMBERS"
GRADE 3 IRI MATHEMATICS
This guide is for you, teacher of Grade 3. It will guide you in implementing the method called Interactive Radio
Instruction - IRI - when you are teaching Mathematics to Grade 3 children.
As teachers, we know that there are different ways of teaching, some more effective than others. Some may require more
resources (e.g. books, worksheets) or may be more appropriate for a particular subject than others, while other
techniques are more appropriate for a particular environment (big classrooms, tables, chairs, or corners for reading, etc.).
Interactive Radio Instruction (IRI) is the name given to a particular educational method that uses radio for effective
learning. IRI emphasizes active learning and meaningful interaction between the radio characters and the teacher and
pupils. This particular method is used in the school to support you in your quest to provide quality Mathematics learning
for Guyanese children of Grade 3.
One hundred thirty IRI lessons will be delivered to Grade 3 teachers and pupils through broadcasting or CDs of a series of
programmes called "Adventuring with Numbers". Each lesson lasts for around 50 minutes and each lesson is divided
into two parts. The first part is AUDIO and lasts for 28 minutes and the second part is FACE-TO-FACE interaction
between the teacher and the pupils without audio and lasts for 22 minutes. Both parts contain guided, engaging activities
for teaching and learning Mathematics. The main purpose of these one hundred thirty IRI lessons is to provide an
opportunity to the children of Grade 3 to develop their abilities in Mathematics according to the Mathematical Standards
for this grade. A Teacher's Guide is provided to support you during both portions of each lesson.

IRI Mathematics Grade 3

"ADVENTURING WITH NUMBERS"

1. THE EFFECTIVENESS OF TEACHING WITH IRI


The children who participate in IRI lessons will learn Mathematics because of the carefully planned combination of audio
technology and the role of the classroom teacher. The classroom teacher facilitates the process of learning, encourages
the children and works with each of them, giving special attention to those who need it.
The order of the activities or exercises and the amount of practice are carefully planned in both the audio and the face-toface formats to provide the most effective instruction possible. An important reason why children learn so much is that the
broadcast or audio section is carefully designed so that children can actively participate. The radio teacher and other
characters speak directly to the children. The children respond orally, by writing, drawing simple pictures, using counters
(pebbles), singing and so on.
As you know, teachers, children like to be active, and as a result they will also enjoy the lesson and listen attentively to
the Audio Programme. Children like to do the mathematical activities and sing the songs (see the song lyrics for Grade 3
at the end of this guide), riddles, tongue twisters and physical activities which are included within the educational
segments in each broadcast or Audio Programme. On an average, children answer questions or perform some other
activity every 20 seconds.
The activities and learning situations designed for the face-to-face portion (After-Audio Programme) are also carefully
planned and will help you build on what the pupils have learned during the Audio Programme. Although each After-Audio
activity is carefully planned, it is up to you, the teacher, to lead these activities with your pupils.

2. ELEMENTS OF THE IRI MATHEMATICS CLASSROOM


The IRI Mathematics programme is planned to ensure that you, the teacher, have everything you need to teach your
pupils effectively. It is important that you understand the following elements of the programme.

2.1 The IRI Mathematics curriculum is organised in a different way:


The instructional material is selected and organised according to the abilities that the children will need to solve any
particular exercise, activity or mathematical problem more than the mathematical content. The exercises or activities that
support the development of these abilities can be found on the first page of each lesson under the heading "Part 1:
During the Audio Programme" and the second page under the heading "Part 2: The "After-Audio Programme". Teachers,
however, can find mathematical topics organised by terms at the end of each guide.

IRI Mathematics Grade 3

"ADVENTURING WITH NUMBERS"

Another aspect of the development of the !RI curriculum for Mathematics is the selection of the mathematical terminology
which is also carefully planned. As teachers, we know that the terms we use during the process of teaching can make a
significant difference in the process of learning, especially when teaching Mathematics. The characteristics of a good
instructive message are brevity and clarity. Brevity maintains the rhythm of the interaction, whereas, Clarity uses simple
and direct language to avoid confusion. Teachers as you follow the Audio Programmes for some time, you will become
accustomed to the way the instructions are structured and organized, how the Mathematics curriculum is presented
across the 128 IRI lessons, and the language that is used to instruct.
The selection of the mathematical terminology such as "numeral", "number", "digit", "cardinal", "ordinal", "greater than",
"less than", "greatest", "least", etc. or symbols such as +, - =, <, > are also carefully planned. You will find that the use of
some mathematical terminology, such as numeral, is postponed to a higher grade, but this does not mean that children
will not realise or learn the difference between a name given to a quantity, e.g. "FIVE" and the written symbol, such as
"5". The development of the Mathematics Curriculum that applies to the Interactive Radio Instruction ensures that children
apply well the names that they are learning to the observed magnitudes and use the appropriate term for the actions or
operations they do.

2.2 Coverage of Mathematics Content in IRI Mathematics:


Scheduling for full coverage of the curriculum during the school hours is always a challenge for us, teachers. Sometimes,
at the end of the school year, you may find that there are still many areas or topics of the curriculum that need to be
covered, or maybe some important topics were left out. This, understandably, may worry you, parents, educational
authorities and others. The way the IRI curriculum is designed and the time assigned to each lesson (50 minutes) ensures
that the children will cover close to 100% of the mathematical content selected for this grade and develop their
mathematical abilities to achieve the standards for this grade.
You will find a useful resource in this guide that will help you understand how the mathematical topics for Grade 3 are
covered. At the end of the Teacher's Guide for each term, we have included a chart-displaying the distribution of
Mathematics topics across the 128 IRI Mathematics lessons. Also included is an IRI calendar displaying the distribution of
the 128 IRI lessons by term (48 lessons for Term 1, 44 for Term 2 and 36 for Term 3)

IRI Mathematics Grade 3

"ADVENTURING WITH NUMBERS"

2.3 Basic materials for children. The following are basic materials that the pupils will need:
Chequered-line exercise books:
A chequered-line exercise book has pages with small squares. These little squares should facilitate the pupils' writing and
calculating processes. Pupils can write each digit of a number in a little square or write an operation symbol such as plus
(+) or minus (-) in each square. The children will also need to draw shapes and calculate the area of rectangles or
squares using these small squares as non-standard units. For such tasks, the small squares can easily be counted to
calculate the area or the perimeter of these shapes. This chequered-line book will also facilitate the drawing of bar graphs
or pictographs as well as to align numbers when children are learning "place value" and performing column addition,
subtraction or multiplication.
The children sometimes have difficulties in the use of a page of their chequered-line exercise books. For example, when
first using the books, children may have questions about where to begin, where to end, and how to distribute the space on
a page. You and the radio characters will provide guidance. The radio characters will use terms during the instructions
that guide the pupils in using their exercise books, such as, 'Write 5 in the tens column" , "draw a long line below those
exercises", "write 2 above the number 6 in the column of tens", "look at the first column" and many others.
It is important that pupils understand the meaning of the above terms. You, teacher, can help by taking a few minutes
after the Audio Programme to clarify the terms that pupils did not understand.

Rows

Columns

The activities after the Audio Programme will also require the use of the exercise books by the pupils. This can be another
opportunity to learn how to optimize the use of each page of the chequered-line books.

The above is an example of what a page from an exercise book should look like. The Ministry of Education will provide
chequered-line exercise books for the children of Grade 3.
Counters. The IRI Mathematics lessons will also require you and the pupils to have counters. Counters will not be
provided to you, but are objects that you and the pupils can easily collect. Counters can be a variety of things that
the pupils can use to count, such as pebbles, bottle caps, sticks, etc. The After-Audio lessons will use many counters for
estimation or counting in groups of ten's, five's, two's, etc. Some, but not all, of the audio lessons will also need counters.
The number of counters needed for each child and for each Audio Programme that calls for them is mentioned in the
teacher's guide for each term.

IRI Mathematics Grade 3

"ADVENTURING WITH NUMBERS"

Storing the Counters: It is recommended that the counters for each child be put in a little cloth pouch which is then
placed in a box with the other pouches. Storing the counters in this manner can help you to make sure that counters are
not lost, reduce the amount of space required and minimize the time spent distributing and collecting counters.

Other resources in the classroom. Besides using chequered-line exercise books and counters, the IRI Mathematics
lessons require materials that teachers already have or can easily be made or found around the classroom, such as:
a) For Geometry: cardboard shapes of different sizes: squares, rectangles, triangles, circles. solids: cubes, cuboids,
cylinders, cones.
b) For Measurement of Length: rulers, metre sticks.
c) For Measurement of Time: clocks, calendars.
d) For Measurement of Capacity: bottles, cups, litre (with scale that shows half litre, one-fourth litre).
e) For Measurement of Weight/Mass: kilogramme, half kilogramme, one-fourth kilogramme, gramme and balances
f) For Money: coins and bills ($5, $10, $20, $100, $500, $1000) (can be an imitation of them on regular paper)
The lessons may also require materials that the children might already have, such as pencils and crayons. It is also
helpful to enhance the classroom-learning atmosphere by decorating the walls with numbers, drawings of shapes, posters
with multiplication and division charts, etc., or by creating specific learning corners (a store corner or a geometry corner
where the children can design geometric shapes, etc.) and creating other materials that facilitate the process of learning
for the children.

2.3 Basic materials for the teacher:


p- Radio/CD player and recorded CDs: Each school received radio/CD players. This is considered to be a very
important tool for each teacher. The radio/CD player should be used only during the Audio Programme and stored away in
a safe, dry place at all other times. The schools or classrooms that are able to tune in to a radio station and have good AM
reception will receive the IRI Audio Programmes by broadcast, Monday through Thursday according to the time table. If
you will receive the programme by broadcast, be sure to tune the radio to the correct frequency before the IRI lesson
begins. The other schools or classrooms that do not have good AM reception will use CDs. Each CD contains thirteen
(13) IRI Audio Programmes in MP3 format. Whether you receive the programme via broadcast or on CD, all Grade 3
Mathematics pupils will be listening to and following the same twenty-eight minute programme on any given day.
Please note that each class is provided with only one radio/CD player. Since the radio/CD player and CDs are very
important tools for making IRI a success in your classroom, it is highly recommended that you read the manual that
comes with the unit and coordinate its use with the teachers of Grade 1 and Grade 2. You will need to be sure
that the CD player is in place and ready for each grade's lesson each day and that someone is responsible for
charging the batteries and for taking care of these materials.

The Teacher's Guide: The information provided to you in the teachers' guide for each term is organised by lessons.
For each day, the guide provides you with critical information on what to prepare before the programme, what you and the
pupils will do during the programme and details on the activities designed for After-Audio Programme, including
illustrations of activities and the time assigned to each activity. It is very important that you read the Guide for each
lesson before the radio lesson starts. By reading the teachers' guide for each lesson ahead of time, you will be
equipped with the information you need to successfully lead your pupils through the activities during and after the Audio
Programme.

2.5 Opportunities for teachers:


One of the most important roles of a teacher is to create a stimulating learning environment for the pupils. The Teacher's
Guide for each term allows you, teacher, to optimize your time. Much of the planning for lessons is already done, allowing
you to spend more time in reading the guide and creating or recreating the activities proposed for After-Audio
Programmes. With the help of the Guide, you will be able to focus the time you spend in preparing for each class to make
sure that the Mathematics lessons are successful.
The Interactive Radio Instruction (IRI) programme for Mathematics does not intend to create additional work for teachers
but instead will help maximize the time teachers dedicate to their pupils. IRI for Mathematics also gives teachers an
opportunity to develop competencies that they are usually not able to develop in a regular classroom. These include
observing children as they complete various Mathematics activities during the Audio Programmes, providing focused
attention to struggling pupils, and closely following the progress of the pupils. Through IRI, teachers will have the
opportunity to improve these skills, among others.

IRI Mathematics Grade 3

"ADVENTURING WITH NUMBERS"

Reviews: The IRI Mathematics lessons incorporate a weekly review, which provides activities to be done each Friday for
thirty minutes. You can also use this time to cater for the needs of the children, and provide additional practice in areas
where they may be having difficulty. You are encouraged to observe the children during and after each Audio Programme
and take notes to design or create review activities for the children or recreate the activities proposed according to the
needs of your pupils.
Each review activity is an opportunity to follow the progress of your pupils while also keeping a record for each pupil.
Using this information, it will be easier for you at the end of each term to prepare a progress report for your students since
you have been keeping track of their review activities throughout the term.
Observation in the IRI classroom: By observing your classroom during an IRI programme, you will be able to easily
identify those children who are giving correct answers, writing well, using their fingers in the correct way to find the
answers, using the counters appropriately, singing and so on. As you observe your pupils on a daily basis you will also
have the opportunity to identify how each of them approaches mathematical problems and be able to track their
difficulties. With these improved skills, you will also be able to identify those pupils who may need special attention and
prepare focused activities to help them improve in their difficult areas.

3. PARENTS AND TUTORS PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN IRI CLASSROOMS


The school culture usually involves parents for specific purposes and during certain occasions. IRI Mathematics for Grade
3, through broadcast, also gives parents and the general community an opportunity to be involved in their children's
education in Mathematics. Where possible, parents and the community can be involved by turning their radios on to follow
each IRI lesson as it is broadcasted. By tuning in, parents will know what their children are learning everyday in
Mathematics and will also be able to provide support to them at home. Also at home, parents can be involved in their
child's progress by reviewing their exercise books and asking their children about their lessons. The exercise books are
an important reflection of the pupils' progress in Mathematics.
To gather additional support from parents and the community, each school can also take the opportunity to help parents
understand how I RI Mathematics works. This may lead parents to appreciate and provide further support to the efforts
that the school is making to improve the quality of Mathematics teaching and learning for their children.

4. THE IMPORTANT ROLE OF THE TEACHER IN THE IRI CLASSROOM


Any method, tool, material or concept that enters the classroom needs a teacher to put it into practice to ensure the
effective learning of pupils. Your preparation before the programme, involvement and observations during the programme,
and leadership during the After-Audio activities are key factors in making the lessons successful.

4.1 Before the Audio Programme:

a) Getting all the materials required for the IRI lesson ready
In this guide, the materials needed for each lesson are listed under the heading "Before the Audio Programme". The list
will allow you to prepare those materials ahead of time. Some of these materials can be used with the whole class and
some by groups of children, but some materials are needed for each child.
b) Having the CD player and CD with the respective lesson ready.
Before the Audio Programme begins, be sure to set the dial in place if you are receiving the audio lesson by broadcast.
For those schools with lessons on CDs, be sure to place the CD in the CD player and forward to the respective lesson.

4.2 During the Audio Programme:


The radio characters guide the learning process of Mathematics during the first 28 minutes of each IRI lesson in the
classroom. While pupils interact with the radio characters, the radio teachers, and each other, classroom teachers have
an opportunity to pay attention to their children's different paces of learning and give special support to those who need it.
The teachers may also encourage the participation of each pupil and check the pupils' work. Teachers can also
participate in the singing and do the physical activities. For the children, the teacher is the most important person in the
classroom, so children will constantly look to their teacher to provide the support and guidance they need. With your
support, and by using the IRI Mathematics programme as your tool, children will improve their learning in Mathematics.

4.3 The After-Audio Programme:


The Guide for each IRI lesson provides activities for the after Audio Programme. Some of these activities complement the
topics that are studied during the Audio Programmes, presenting them with different strategies. Other activities present
topics that are not in the Audio Programmes (Geometry, basic Statistics, some topics of Measurement, Estimation, etc.)
but are necessary because they are part of the Mathematics Curriculum for Grade 3. Therefore, it is essential that you
guide your pupils through the activities provided in the after-audio lessons each day. You may also find the AfterAudio time as an opportunity to create other activities or recreate the ones in this guide to cater for the learning needs of
your pupils.
The description of each activity for after the Audio Programme and each weekly review activity includes an approximate
time of duration. The exact time required for each activity will depend on the rhythm of learning of each child and the
whole class. It is highly recommended that you, the teacher, take note of these times when preparing these activities.
It is very important to have about 50 minutes for a Mathematics class every day except Friday, which is dedicated to a 30minute review of the week. The achievement of the Standards for Grade 3 requires this amount of time for Mathematics
classes for the children.
Please enjoy using IRI Mathematics as a tool to help you teach your Grade 3 Mathematics pupils. If you participate fully
and use your creativity to implement the programme in the way most relevant to your pupils, we are confident that you will
see progress in their learning and in the attitudes and participation in your Mathematics class.

Recalling the Audio Programme


o Encourage the children to talk about the Audio Programme by asking them to say
the names of the audio characters. In which grade are Randy and Kim? (Grade 3). Which of the
teachers was a Grade 2 teacher?(Leila). Who likes to make sounds, Randy or Kim? (Randy).
Which names are females' names? (Leila and Kim) Which names are males' names? (Albert
and Randy).
Place the list of audio characters in a visible location in the classroom.
Let some of the children ask questions about the characters while others give answers.
5 min
Recalling the Song of the Audio Programme
L
Place the sheet of paper with the lyrics of the song, "There is so much I can do
with Numbers" in front of the children. Read the lyrics with them, try to recall how to sing the song
and sing altogether.
If there is time, ask the children to copy this part of the song.
10 min
Counting On
Put eight counters into the box and let the children know this. Then, give six
counters to one of the children. Ask him/her: "How many counters do you have?" (six).
". Then, say to the class: "Children, in the box there are eight counters and he/she is going to add
six. "Guess, how many counters we will have in the box." Then ask the children to write the
number that they "guessed". Encourage them to "guess".
Next, have the child who has the six counters put them into the box, one by one. Before he/she
begins, remind the children again that there are already eight counters in the box.
As the child adds his/her counters, count aloud with the entire class, like this: "nine, ten...
fourteen."
Then ask the children: "How many counters are there in the box?" (fourteen).
Tell the child to take out all of the counters and count them again to make sure there are
fourteen.
Now ask the following questions: "How many counters did I put into the box first?" (eight). "How
many counters did he/she add?" (six). Then tell them eight plus six is fourteen. Show them that
they can continue counting after a number.
Make sure they understand this each time you do an exercise (see box for more exercises).

Equal Parts, Concept: Folding Papers in Halves


Teacher, show the children two sheets of paper of the same size.
10 min
Show them a sheet of paper and tell them that it is one whole sheet of paper.
Fold that sheet of paper in two equal parts. Be sure they understand that the corners
must meet and the line of division should be marked, pressing the line of division with the fingers.
Unfold the paper, and ask them:
- "Into how many parts is the paper divided?"(two).
- 'Are the parts equal?" (yes).
- "How can you prove that the parts are equal?"(cut it and superimpose the parts,
measuring the area of each part, showing they are the same shape and
same size, etc.)
- Can you fold the sheet of paper in a different way to show two equal parts?" (discuss
and let the children show different shapes with equal parts using the same sheet
of paper)
Do the same kind of activity using the other sheet of paper. Ask the children to tell you different
ways to fold the third sheet of paper to get different shapes than before and to show equal parts.
Counting On
Ask the children to imagine that each of them has a box on their desk. Tell them that
10 min
there are five sticks in the box. Then say: "now imagine that you have seven sticks in
your hand. Let's pretend that your fingers are the sticks. Hold up seven fingers."
Ask them: - " How many sticks are there in the box?" (5).
- "And how many sticks are you holding up?" (7).
Tell them that now we're going to count all the sticks like this: in the box there are five, so we'll
Count On from five with our fingers ... six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve. Ask the children
to Count On again, saying: "In the box there are five and we'll count from there with our fingers...
six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve."
Repeat this activity with the pairs of numbers shown in the box.

Tell the children to solve them and to be careful with the plus and the minus signs. When they have
all finished solving the exercises, have some children go to the chalkboard and do the exercises
there. The others will check their work.
Equal Parts, Folding Paper in Halves and Fourths
10 min
Teacher, show the children three sheets of paper of the same size.
You show them one whole sheet of paper.
Fold
that sheet of paper in two equal parts, in the same way that they did in the class before. The

line of division should be marked pressing it with the fingers.


Unfold the paper, and ask them:
- "Into how many parts is the paper divided?"(two).
- "Are the parts equal?" (yes).
- "What do you call each part?" (a half).
- "How many halves do you see in that paper?"(two).
Show the children another whole sheet of paper.
Fold that sheet of paper in four equal parts. (fold it in two equal parts, then fold it again) Each line of
division should be marked, pressing it with the fingers.
Tell them to unfold the paper, and ask them:
-"Into how many parts is the paper divided?"(four).
-"Are the parts equal?" (yes).
- "Does each part have the same shape?" (yes).
- "What do you call each part?" (a fourth).
-"How many fourths do you see in that paper?"(four fourths).
Then tell the children to use the other sheet of paper. Fold it again in four equal parts, and tear out
a design of their own from the two sides where the corners meet. The children will get different
shapes. Have the children observe that the four parts of the design are equal and that they divided
the sheet of paper into fourths.

Homework: Ask the children to get a sheet of paper at home and divide it into three equal parts.

Review of the Homework


5 min
Ask the children to show you their sheet of paper divided into three equal parts.
Ask some of the children to explain how they did it. Ask him/her:
" Which parts on the paper that you are showing are the same size?"
" Can those parts be called a third or a half? Why or why not?"
"What can you say to convince the other children that those three parts are the same size?
,, Let the entire class participate in the discussion of the above questions.
Counting by Tens
,'A- Teacher, tell the children that they are going to find out the easiest way to count a large
15 min
group of objects, in this case, counters.
Put the counters (multiple of ten) on a table in front of the class. Ask the children:
- "What can we do to find out how many counters we have here?" (Count by ones, grouping
them in small sets or groups and counting how many are in these sets or groups)
- 'Would it be easier to make a mistake if you count 'one by one' or if you 'make groups', for
example, groups of ten, and then count how many are in the groups?"
Let the class participate in the discussion of the above questions, giving arguments of why they think
that way. Then leave the answer for the end of this activity.
- Invite four children to come up to the table and group the counters by TENS. If the table is small, the
children can put the counters on the floor. Suggest to the children that they place their TEN counters
in two rows of five as the drawing shows (see box). When the ten counters are placed like this, we
can tell by looking at them that there are ten counters, without having to count them one by one.
Once the children have made all the groups, count how many there are by tens with the entire class.
One of the children can point to the groups as the class counts how many there are. Don't use the
group of counters which has less than ten, for now.
Put all of the counters together again and do the same activity with different numbers of counters
(70, 90) At the end of this part, you can invite one of the children to count the counters one by one.
- Teacher, after the children count the groups of ten, you can show them that the counters can be
placed in groups of two and then counted by twos; or in groups of five and then counted by
fives.
Stimulate a discussion with the children as to the easiest and quickest way to count... whether by
tens, by fives, by twos or by ones.

Teacher, you will need the list of the radio characters.
Have a discussion with the children about the radio lesson of this week and ask questions such us:
- " Which of the radio characters (persons) likes to make sounds and to imitate animals?", "Why
do you think he likes to make those sounds? How does he do that?"
" How old do you think is Randy? (around the children's age). And Kim?" ( around the
children's age).
"How many radio teachers are there?" (2). "What are their names?" (Albert, Leila).
Have the children draw a picture of the radio character that they like the most. They can also colour
their drawing and write the name of the character under it.

on the chalkboard. (see box)
Read the chorus with the children, and then read the verse. Ask the children: " Which part do you
sing first? Which part comes next?... and next?" (chorus, verse, chorus, ...). Ask them: " What is
the name of this song? What can you do with numbers?" (allow them to give examples of places
or activities where numbers are used). " What do you like the most about this song?"
End this activity by singing the song altogether.

Using the Chequered-line Exercise Book


Teacher, as you already know, the children need to learn how to use the chequered -line exercise
book correctly, using the squares as a guide. It will be helpful to practise how to do this.
p- Ask the children to get their exercise books and pencils ready.
3 Give the following instruction: (a) Write 69, leave a space, write 278 leave a space, write 15. The
children need to understand the meaning of "leave a space", remembering not to write 69 278
instead of 69 278. They can also use one little square to write each digit, and leave a blank square
between numbers.
Ask them to write: 353, 27, 10, 9, 873, 1, 99 and 164.
Then, ask the children to go down on the page and (b) draw a shape called square using four little
squares. The children can use two little squares as the side of this square.

Give one child who is in front of the class a sheet of paper.
Ask the child to fold the sheet of paper in half and be sure that the parts are the same size. Then,
ask him/her to open the paper and shade one half". Support the child if he/she needs your help in
this
Show all the children the sheet of paper and let them say what part has been shaded. (one half)
Now give a second child, who is before the class, another sheet of paper. Tell the child to fold the
sheet of paper into fourths and shade "three fourths". Check that the parts are the same size.
Tell the child to shade fast. Help if necessary. Show the class the shaded "three-fourths."
After this, give a third child a sheet of paper and ask him/her to divide it into eighths, this way:
- First, divide the paper in four equal parts.
- Then fold that in two equal parts once more.
- Unfold the paper and show it to all the children.
Ask the children:
- "How many parts did you divide the paper into?" (eight).
- "Are those parts equal?" (yes).
- "Do they have the same shape?"(yes).

Counting On (using box or drawing)


\p- Teacher, put a cardboard box in front of the class and next to it put the 100 counters.
15 min
Tell the children that they will add 90 + 6, using the counters.
\A=- Ask three or four children to separate or count 90 counters. Remind them that putting
the counters in GROUPS OF TEN will help them to count the 90 counters fast.
Tell one of the children to put the 90 counters in the box. Ask him/her to count by tens while he/she
puts these 90 counters in the box. The rest of the class helps to count.
A-- Ask another child to take six counters from outside of the box. These six counters will be ADDED
to the 90 counters. Ask the class:
- "How many counters are in the box?" (90).
- "How many counters is he/she (say the name of the child) going to add?" (6).
Then, say: "In the box there are ninety counters" and tell the child with the six counters to add one
by one and count with the class, like this: ninety-one, ninety-two, ninety-three, ninety-four, ninetyfive, ninety-six. Ask the class:
- "How many counters were in the box at first?" (90).
- "How many counters did he/she add?" (6).
- "How many counter are there in the box now?" (96)
Then, ninety plus six is ninety-six.
Teacher, do this exercise on the chalkboard (see box to represent 90 + 6). Then, tell the children
that there are 90 in the box. Count the circles on from ninety, like this: "ninety-one, ninety-two,
ninety-three, ninety-four, ninety-five, ninety- six." Have the children see that they can Count On
after a number.
Repeat this activity with the combinations of numbers shown in the box.

Patterns
Teacher, organize the children in pairs. Tell them that they are going to shake each
other's hands according to the instructions you give them.
Ask each pair to follow your instructions: Say " Pair of children, shake with your right hands, shake
with your left hands, shake the left hand with the right hand."
Ask each pair to repeat this pattern: shake with your right hands,
shake with your left hands,
shake left hand with right hand.
Observe that each pair is making the right pattern.
Ask them: " How many times can we repeat this?" (as many as we wish). Explain to the children
that this is a PATTERN.
Then, incorporate a change in the pattern. Ask the pairs of children to repeat the pattern, but every
time they move their hands they need to say "right hand" or "left hand" respectively. Discuss with
them the difference of these two patterns (the last pattern incorporates sound).

Reading and Writing Numbers


Teacher, write the numbers shown in the box onto the chalkboard. Write them in rows,
10 min
Tell the children that they are going to read those numbers, as shown.
Point to the numbers with a ruler and have them read those numbers, first in order,
then at random. Get all of the children to participate in reading the numbers.
Tell the children to look at the first number (200) and ask them:
"What number is it?" (two hundred).
"How many digits does it have?" (three digits).
To read those digits. (two, zero, zero)
Continue doing this the same way with the other numbers.
Tell the children to copy those numbers in their exercise books. Remind them to write one digit in
each little square and leave a blank square between numbers.
Teacher, check to make sure that they do it correctly.
Patterns
10 min
Teacher, explain to the children that they will show a pattern. For this, organize the
children this way: One child says a number "one", the next one says "two", and the
next says "three", the next starts with "one" again, next child is "two," etc.
Ask one of the groups of children to listen and follow your instructions and the rest of the groups to
pay attention to the pattern that these three children will produce. The instruction is:
The number "one": clap once (clap)
The number "two": clap twice (clap, clap)
The number "three": clap three times. (clap, clap, clap)
Ask the second group to reproduce the pattern (clap; clap, clap; clap, clap, clap). Then the third
group, the fourth group and so on.
);. Explain to them that each group presented a pattern of sounds like this (teacher, clap): Clap;
clap, clap; clap, clap, clap.
Ask the last group of children to create a pattern of sounds (any pattern is acceptable). Then, ask
the group to come in front of the class and show a pattern. Ask the other groups to get ready to
continue showing the pattern. Point to the group that will continue showing the pattern. Keep on
doing this with three or four more groups. Allow other groups of children to create a pattern of
sounds then have other groups follow this pattern.
Observe that each group is making the right pattern.
Ask them: "How many times can we repeat each pattern?" (as many as we wish). Explain to the
children that they did PATTERNS with sounds.

Equal Parts, Concept: Folding a Paper in Sixths


15 min
- Teacher, give to each child one sheet of paper of the same size.
)- Tell them to fold that sheet of paper in six equal parts. Remind them of the way
they folded a sheet of paper in three equal parts before, showing them this. Be sure they
understand that the corners must meet and the line of division should be marked, pressing it with
the fingers.
Tell the children to begin folding the sheet of paper in three equal parts, then find out the way to fold
it again to have six equal parts. Encourage the children and help the ones who need help.
Teacher, take note of the performance of the children in this part of the task.
Tell them to unfold the paper, and ask them:
"In how many parts is the paper divided?"(three).
"Are the parts equal?" (yes)
"How can you prove that the parts are equal?" (cut out the parts and put one part on
top of the other, measuring the area of each part, showing they are the same
shape and same size, etc.)
Ask the children to fold that paper in the same way it was before they unfolded it. Then look for a
way to fold it again to have six equal parts.
Go around the class and observe how they address this task. Help the ones who need assistance.
Teacher, close this activity asking the children to unfold the sheet of paper and look at the parts to
see if they are equal. Then, ask them to shade "TWO SIXTHS".

Counting On With Fingers


Ask the children to imagine that each has a box on their desk. Tell them that there are
five sticks in the box. Then say: "Now imagine that you have seven sticks in your hand.
Let's pretend that your fingers are the sticks. Hold up seven fingers."
Ask them: - " How many sticks are there in the box?" (5).

10 min

- "And how many sticks are you holding up?" (7).

Tell them that now we're going to count all the sticks like this: in the box there are five, so we'll
count on from five on our fingers ... six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve. Ask the children to
Count On again, saying: "in the box there are five and we'll count from there with our fingers... six,
seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve."
Repeat this activity with each addition shown in the box.
Writing Numbers
5 min
Teacher, ask the children to find a blank space in their exercise books because they
are going to write some numbers.
`;.- Tell them: "Children, find three squares next to each other. In those squares, write four hundred."
Give enough time for them to write the number. Then ask them:
- " How did you write it?" (four, zero, zero)
- " How many digits are in four hundred?" (three)
- To read the number (four hundred)
Dictate the numbers shown in the box in the same way. Remind the children to leave a space and
write one digit in each little square.

Column Addition and Subtraction


Teacher, let the children solve the rest of the exercises (see box) as the radio teacher
instructed. Give some time for this work and help those who have a difficulty.
Check their work. After they have finished, write the exercises on the chalkboard, then
invite some children to solve the exercises on the chalkboard.
Ask the rest of the class to check their answers and make the necessary corrections.

5 min

10 min
Counting by Tens
Teacher, send six children to the front of the class and have them stand in a row.
Tell the class: We are going to find out how many fingers all six children have on their hands.
Ask them, "How can we find this?" (counting by ones, by fives, by tens, etc.). Write the
suggestions on the chalkboard. Choose some of those suggestions for them to count the fingers.
They can "count by tens", for this. Ask one of the six children to hold up his/her hands so that all in
the class can see them. Ask: "How many fingers does this child have on both hands?" (ten).
Ask children to count all the fingers by TENS; for this, allow the first child in the row to show his/her
ten fingers and the class to say, ten; the second child shows ten fingers and the class says
twenty,... continue this way until you reach the last child and the class says sixty.
Allow the children to count the same fingers by FIVES; you can point to the hand of each child and
the class counts: five, ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty-five, thirty, thirty-five ... fifty-five, sixty.
Ask one of the children to come in front of the class and count the fingers of the six children by
ONES and the rest of the class counts silently. Teacher, this part is to show them that counting
"large numbers" by ones takes more time and it's easy to make a mistake.
Discuss with the children that there are different ways of counting, but grouping things by tens
facilitates the counting, especially with large numbers.
Invite seven children to come up. Tell the class: We are going to find out how many toes all
seven children have. Then ask them:
- "How many toes does each child have?" (ten).
- "To count by tens, do you need to point to each toe or each child?" Discuss this with
them (each child, because we know that each of them has ten toes.)
- To count the toes by tens (ten, twenty, ... seventy).
5 min
You may want to repeat this activity with groups of 5, 8 and 9 children.
Counting by Tens, Word Problem - Homework

Counters Groups of 10 Counters


10 min
Put the counters on the table. Make ten envelopes with the help of the children.
fr Ask two children to group the counters in tens and put each group in an envelope.
Say to the class; "We had a group of 100 counters. To avoid making a mistake while counting, we
grouped them into smaller groups of tens. How many counters are in each envelope?" (10). Since
there are 10, count all the counters in the envelopes by tens and then we will count both the
grouped and the leftovers.
Finally, ask: "How many counters are there in all?" Repeat these activities with groups of 100
counters or less.

Teacher, organize the children in pairs. Tell them that they are going to shake each
others hands according to the instructions you give them.
Ask each pair to follow your instructions: Say " Pair of children, shake with your right hands, shake
with your left hands, shake the left hand with right hand."
Ask each pair to repeat this pattern:
shake with your right hands,
shake with your left hands,
shake left hand with right hand.
Observe that each pair is making the right pattern.
>.-- Then, incorporate a change in the pattern. Ask the pairs of children to repeat the pattern, but every
time they move their hands they need to say "right hand" or "left hand" respectively. Discuss with
them the difference of these two patterns (the last pattern incorporates sound).

Teacher, for the next After-Audio lesson you will need an improvised balance. You will also need a bag with sand of I kg
mass, one with a mass more than I kg and one with a mass less than I kg .

Draw the block graph of lesson 43 on the chalkboard indicating the numbers on the vertical axis.
Let the children talk about their graphs.
Tell them that you are going to erase some of the lines. Erase lines that separate the blocks.
(see box where broken lines indicate lines to be erased). Discuss the appearance of the
graph with the children. For example, the blocks are not there anymore. Each of those without
the block is called a bar. Tell them that this graph is called a bar graph. Ask them to say what
the graph is called. (bar graph) Write "bar graph" on the chalkboard.
Ask children to look at the bar graph and say how different it is from the block graph. For
it is made of bars not blocks.
Let the children say how many children have birthdays in each month.

Copy the shape in the box on the chalkboard. Give each group six cardboard squares and ask
them to place the squares in a group in a line anywhere on the desk. Now tell them to make the
shape on the chalkboard by sliding the squares to do so. Remind them they must slide the
shapes.
Observe the children as they do the activity. Ask each group to describe two movements that
were made to slide the squares. Let them slide the squares in the shape to where they were at
first, in a group in a line.

Explain to them that the exercises in which we carry is a "snip" and the exercise in which we do not
carry is a 'snap,"
Ask them to look at the exercises on the chalkboard and be ready to say which is a "snip" and
which is a "snap."
Point to the first exercise in the first row. Write "snip," or "snap" next to it. Ask the children: "Do we
have to carry in this exercise?" (yes) "Why?" (When we add the ones column, the answer has
two digits.)
