Scenario-Based Learning (SBL) is widely used in schools. SBL is based on the principle of
situated learning (Lave & Wenger, 1991) and advocates the idea that learning becomes more
meaningful in the context in which it is going to be used. In this assignment you will make a plan
on how to teach a concept using SBL.

1. Select only one (1) concept from the following:

 One-to-one Correspondence
 Cardinal and ordinal numbers
 Multiplication of decimals with the power of 10

(All these concepts are from Units 4-6)

2. Develop 3 learning objectives for your selected concept.

3. Design a scenario you think can help you teach your concept. A good way to do this is to work
backwards from your learning objectives to create a situation that will get the students to meet
this learning objective.
4. Then make a plan on how you will teach your topic using your life scenario. Your plan should
include:

An introduction
Learning objectives
Scenario
Key questions
Tasks & Activities
Reflection
References

5. Then submit your SBL plan as assignment 2.
