Lesson Plan in Mathematics using Cognitivism learning

ESTIMATING THE SUM

I. Learning Objectives
Cognitive: Estimate the sum of 6 or more digit addends.
Psychomotor: Illustrate how to find the estimated sum of 6 digit addends.
Affective: Appreciate the importance of working hard
II. Learning Content
Skill: Estimating the sum of 6 or more digit addends.
References: Guide BEC-PELC 1.B.3
Materials: Pictures, flash cards colored chalk, paper, and eraser/pencil
Values: Hard work and Perseverance
III. Learning Experiences
A. Preparatory Activities
1.) Drill: Basic addition facts using flashcards.
5+ 4 9+3 4+6 8+7 1+3 2+2
2.) Review
“Rounding off numbers to the nearest 10 000 to 100 000”
Play “pass the paper game wherein each pupils in the column takes
turn in rounding numbers as fast and correctly as they can. Check answers in
class.
3.) Motivation
Show pictures of a mango farming’s. What do you see in the pictures?
What does the farmer do to have a good quality harvest? Can you tell me
the numbers of the mango seen in the drawing?

B. Developmental Activities
1.) Presentation
Mang Juan has a Mango plantation. He usually works in his farm the
whole day. He harvested about 12 985 mangoes on the first month and 14
581 mangoes on the second month. About how many mangoes did he
harvest in two months?
To analyze and solve the problem. Here is the steps:
i. What is asked in the problem?
ii. What are given facts?
iii. What is the operation to be used?
iv. What is the number sentence?
v. What kind of a farmer is Mang Juan? What benefits could we work hard?.
If you’re given a task. Do you work on it?

2.) Group Activities

a.) Work with a partner. One will get the exact sum and the other will
estimate the sum to the highest place value.
a.) 3 950 b.) 11 111 c.) 454 d.) 731
+ 150 + 1 111 + 232 + 24

3.) Generalization
What are the steps involved in estimating sums of 6 or more digit
addends? How do you estimate? How would you come up with good
estimate?

Round the addends to the nearest highest place value then add. A
good estimate is a little less or more than exact answer.
