NUMERACY NURSERY 2 THIRD TERM LESSON NOTE

 MATHEMATICS / NUMERACY

LESSON 1: REVISION PRACTICE ON ADDITION

Practice simple addition with the children. Also introduce several word problems on addition. If not familiar with word problems, refer to the second term scheme.

LESSON 2: PRACTICE ON SUBTRACTION

 TOPIC: CLOCK

This topic is aimed at introducing the children to the art of telling time. Before they can understand how to tell time, they must know what the different hands stand for.

Let them know that a clock has two main hands. The short hand which is the hour hand and the long hand which is the minute hand.  When you draw a clock, let the children notice the difference between the two hands as regards their length.

At this age, we are particular about the child understanding the configuration of the clock.

Divide the clock into two parts-----------the right hand side and the left hand side. Let the children understand the function of both hands. Remember in nursery one, they were taught that long hand is the minute hand while short hand is the hour hand.

LESSON 3: LET’S TELL THE TIME 

You start the lesson on clock by teaching the children how to read the numbers on the clock. There are 12 numbers on the clock. 1-12.  Before they do this lesson, they must be conversant with their skip counting in 5’s. 

So, explain to them that the distance between one number to another means 5 minutes. Inside the space, there are small dashes. Each dash stands for one. 

Also, divide the clock into two parts.

The right side has 1-5

The left side has 11- 7

Teach them to count from 1- 5  ( that is 5 minutes -25)

And then count 11- 7 ( that is 5 minutes -25 minutes)

So, they should start counting from 1 as 5, 10, 15, 20, 25. This means

1= 5 minutes

2=10 minutes

3= 15 minutes

4= 20 minutes

5= 25 minutes

They stop

Start counting again from 11

11 = 5  minutes

10= 10 minutes

9= 15 minutes

8= 20 minutes

7= 25 minutes

For easy and quick understanding, the children should count that way.

If they know how to count the minutes, before you can move to the next stage of reading the clock.

LESSON 4: THE “AFTER” SIDE AND “TO” SIDE

In teaching this lesson, draw a clock on the board. Indicate the right side of the clock and the numbers on it. And also indicate the left side and the numbers on it.

The numbers on the right side are:     1         2          3          4          5           

The numbers on the left side are:       11        10        9          8          7

6 AND 12 ARE AT THE CENTRE

Explain to the children that whenever the long hand is at the right side, it means ‘after’ and whenever the long hand is at the left side, it means ‘to’.

Go further to explain to them that where the short hand is, determines after what or to what. 

Focus on after alone:

Explain the concept of after to the kids this way:

After means that it has passed that time. That is why the long hand is always slightly after the particular number.

Example: If the short hand is on 9 (slightly after 9) and the long hand is on 2, it means 10 minutes after 9.  ( Remember the previous lesson on how many minutes each number represents)

Example 2: draw a clock and let the long hand be on 5 and the short hand on 3.

Ask the children to tell the time. ( 25 minutes after 3)

Do several examples with the children, followed by class work and home work.

LESSON 5: LET’S TELL THE TIME. FOCUS ON “TO” 

The children have understood the “after side” and how to read the time when ever the long hand is at the “after side.”

Now, you move to the “left side.”

Whenever the long hand is at the left side it means “to”.

When the long hand is on 10 and the short hand is on 1, it means 10 minutes to 1.

Emphasise to the children that in “to”, the short hand is slightly close to the number. But in after, the short hand is slightly after the number.

Do several examples and class works with the children.

 

LESSON 6: FOCUS ON 6 AND 12

 

When the children have thoroughly understood how to read the two sides of the clock, you then introduce 6 and 12.

Let the children know that whenever the long hand is on 6, it means half past the number where the short hand is. Or 30 minutes after ( if the short hand is on the “right side.”)

If the short hand is on a number on the left side, it means 30 minutes to the number where the short hand is.

Whenever the long hand is on 12, it means the exact time where the short hand is.

For example, if the long hand is on 12 and the short hand is on 5, it means 5 o’clock. 

You have to be very practical and demonstrative in explaining these to the children so they don’t get confused. 

 

TAKE HOME PRACTICAL QUESTION:

Before going to bed today, check your clock and note what time it is.

Before leaving your house for school tomorrow morning, also check your clock and note the time.

You will tell the class, what time you went to bed last night and what time you left the house for school.

TOPIC: EXPLORING CAPACITY

EXPLANATION: Capacity is how much a container can hold. It is the total amount of liquids that can be contained in a container. It is the amount that something can hold. Capacity is used for measuring liquids. 

There are two ways in which we can measure capacity:

Metric system: in litres and millimetres

Customary system: in cups, pints, quarts and gallons.

In the metric system, 1,000 millimetres equal to 1 litre.

In the customary system,:

2 cups equal to 1 pint

2 pints equal to 1 quart

4 quarts equal to 1 gallon.
