Ref: Hodder Cambridge mathematics. Page 17-20, Collins Cambridge
mathematics. Page 2-6. Understanding mathematics book 5.
A. PLACE VALUE OF DIGITS.
Place value helps you understand the value of a digit in a number. The
value of a digit depends on its place, or position in the number.
Each place has a value of 10 times the place to its right.
consider the number below,
307482468- can be written as
3Hundred of million( 3 hundreds of millions/
0Ten of millions ( zero ten of millions)
7Millions ( 7 millions/7 000 000)
4Hundred of thousands ( 4 hundred of thousands/ 400 000)
8Ten of thousands (8 ten of thousands/80 000)
2Thousands (2 thousands/2 000)
4Hundreds (4 hundres/400)
6 Tens (6 tens/60)
8Units/ones(8units/8)
B. READING AND WRITING NUMBERS
With the knowledge of place value system, we can write numbers from
words to figures and vice versa.
Consider the numbers below, write each in words.
i. 234 456 – two hundred and thirty-four thousand, four hundred and
fifty-six.
 ii. 1, 034, 111- one million, thirty-four thousand, one hundred and
eleven.
Express the following in words.
iii. Twelve million, eight hundred and five thousand and twelve.
12, 000, 000
+ 805, 000
012
12, 805, 012
iv. Six hundred and twelve million and eighty-eight
612, 000, 000
+ 088
612, 000, 088

C. NUMBER SEQUENCES
A sequence is an ordered list of numbers called terms. Each term has a
value. Every sequence has a rule. Once you know the rule, you can work
out the next term in the sequences.
Consider the sequence below,
2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, …
1 term,2 term, 3 term,4th term, ….
st nd rd

Use a comma to separate each term. The three dots (…) mean the
sequence continues.
Example: There are eight terms in this sequence.
2 9 16 23 30 37 44 51
The values in the sequence are (2, 9, 16, 23, …) The rule is ‘add 7’

D. SKIP COUNTING
Counting forwards and backwards in steps helps you understand the
pattern and sequence of numbers. You can use a number line to explore
forwards and backwards counting sequences.
Example1: count back from 43 in steps of 3. Is 28 in the sequence?
…, 25 , 28 , 31 , 34 , 37 , 40 , 43. Yes. 28 is in the sequence.
Example 2: Count forward from 123, 285 in steps of 5.
 123,285 123,290 123,295 123,300 123,305 …

E. The exact number of fans at a football match was 56327, but the
newspaper says there were 56330. They have rounded the number to the
nearest 10. Numbers can be rounded to the nearest 10, 100 and 1000.

Note: if the digit is 5 or greater, round up. If the digit is less than 5, the
whole number remains the same.
To round a number, look at the digit to the right of the place position you
are rounding to.

SUBJECT: GEOMETRY
Class: Grade 4
Week: One (1)
Topic: TRIANGLES
Learning objectives:
a. Identify and describe properties of triangles.
b. Draw and name the kinds of triangles.
Key words: length, isosceles, scalene, equilateral, mirror line.
Ref: Hodder mathematics pages 27-29
A. TRIANGLES
A triangle is a plane shape (2D shape) with three angles and three sides. The sum
of the angles in a triangle is 180°

B. KINDS OF TRIANGLES
We can identify different triangles by looking at their properties.
 Worksheet on geometry
1.Find the number of triangles in the star shape below.

2. Carefully draw out the following triangles.

a. Scalene triangle b. equilateral triangle c. isosceles triangle.
Which triangles have one line of symmetry?
Which triangles have more than one line of symmetry?
3. Draw three isosceles triangles. Mark the equal sides and draw the line of
symmetry. Label any equal angles.

SUBJECT: STATISTICS
Class: Grade 4
Week: One (1)
Topic: DISCRETE AND CONTINUOUS DATA.
Learning objectives:
1. Meaning of statistics
2. Identify discreet and continuous data.
3. Activities on collecting discreet and continuous data.
Keywords: statistics, data, discrete data, continuous data.

1. Statistics.

2. Numerical data can be discrete or continuous.

Discrete data can only take certain values. For example, shoe sizes, the number of
children in grade 4, the number of sweets in a packet, e.t.c.
Continuous data comes from measuring and can take any value within a given
range. For example, the weight of a banana, the rime it takes for pupils to get to
school, the height of Mr. Nelson e.t.c.

Example

Discrete data Continuous data

Shirt collar size Speed of a car
Number of goals in a season Length of a crocodile
Population of a town Temperature of oven
Number of matches in a box Volume of a cereal box

SUBJECT: SCIENCE

Class: Grade 4

Week: One (1)

Topic: Matter and change of states.

Learning objectives:

1. Define matter.
2. List and explain the three (3) states of matter.
3.
Keywords: Matter, mass, volume, molecules, intermolecular

Ref: Creative science book 4. Pages 97-99, Hodder Cambridge science. Pages 54-65

1. DEFINITION
Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass. Matter is made up invisible particles called
molecules. Different materials are made of different molecules. Molecules are further made up of
atoms.

2. STATES OF MATTER
Matter can be grouped on the basis of its volume and shape. Volume is the amount of space occupied by
matter. Matter can therefore be grouped as SOLID, LIQUID and GAS.

a. SOLIDS: A solid matter such as marble has a fixed shape and volume. In solids, the molecules
hold together tightly and have very little or no intermolecular space between them.

b. LIQUIDS: A liquid such as water needs a container to hold it in. Liquids have spaces between
their molecules; hence they do not have a definite shape and can flow. They only have a definite
volume.

c. GASES: Air is a type of matter called gas. Gases flow easily and fill the entire space available.
They occupy as much space as is available without spilling over. In gases, the molecules are far
apart. That means there is a lot of space between their molecules. They have no fixed shape or
volume
