Rationale for the 'COVID-19 Accelerated Response for Education':


The world has faced an unprecedented grim situation (COVID-19) starting from the end of 2019,
continuing in 2020, that has played havoc and has left bitter marks which will be etched on the memory of
mankind for centuries to come.
The repercussions of this pandemic have been felt in all disciplines of life including economy, education,
habits, cultural norms, health care services, etc. so severely that the world finds itself helpless. Institutes
imparting education had to modify and adapt their educational services strategies to cope with the new
challenges after the closure of these institutes for about 6 months in Pakistan. Under the directions of the
Government of Punjab, the Curriculum & Textbook Board of the province decided to initiate an
'Accelerated Learning Program' to speed up the teaching and learning activities and to make up for the
time lapse the education field has had to face due to (COVID-19).
Journey from ALP to the need-based and time-bound COVID -19 Accelerated Response for Education:
The first step in responding to the challenge of school closure due to COVID 19 was to devise an
Accelerated Learning Programme for grades 1 to 8. It was deemed important to select three major subjects
of study vis a vis English, Mathematics and Science and address all major and important skills and concepts
within these areas of study in the most effective manner. Subsequently, it was the Herculean task to
squeeze a nine-month syllabus of study into a five-month period, keeping in view skills development,
conceptual understanding, horizontal and vertical alignment of the Student Learning Outcomes and a
gradual but logical progression of concepts for all grade levels.
Lesson Plans as a manifestation of the Accelerated Learning Programme:
In the next step, SLOs were aligned with the material and exercises of the textbooks which ultimately
culminated into the development of Lesson Plans. These lesson plans will be shared with you on a rolling
basis. It is expected that these plans will act as a ready resource for teachers to achieve learning outcomes
in an efficient and effective way. Along with the Lesson Plans, it was decided to develop age-appropriate
and engaging worksheets that would benefit students and act as a reservoir for reinforcement of skills and
concepts taught in class. Therefore, subject experts were engaged to undertake the daunting task of
reshaping and reconfiguring the syllabuses for Mathematics, Science and English.
It has been ensured that the lesson plans are aligned with the level of students and the demand of the
Student Learning Outcome. The focus, during this entire exercise, has also been to oversee that classroom
instruction is aligned with the goals and objectives of curriculum. Every effort has been made to help foster
positive attitudes among students towards learning. Yet another purpose of this exercise is to help
teachers create a healthy learning environment in classrooms that is lacking due to the pandemic.
It is a known fact that proper and well thought out lesson planning serves as a checklist that guides
teachers to be systematic in the effective delivery of their lessons. Equipping teachers with a systematic,
cohesive and an organized breakdown of the syllabus and providing them with well-planned lessons is in a
bid to help them be prepared to take on any unforeseen challenges during the process of teaching and
learning. Notwithstanding, lesson plans serve as historical documents of teaching practices whereby
teachers have a point of reference to look back, reorganize and update their lesson for future usage.
Moreover, well thought out lesson plans help teachers to address challenges during lessons and employ
pedagogies that enhance and consolidate learning. Not only this, but a good lesson plan minimizes the
negative effects of learning on students, in case of teacher absence, as a cover teacher can deliver the
lesson using the guidelines elaborated upon in the plan. Just like every good game needs a plan to win,
similarly, every teacher needs a good plan to achieve lesson objectives. Last but not the least lesson
planning prevents the over-reliance on textbooks, as direct and the only material for teaching.

i
Teachers’ Guide (Mathema cs) Lesson Plans

The newly developed lesson plans are a highly effective, contextualised and easy to use resource that will
serve as a practical tool for public sector teachers. It is hoped that teachers find the lesson plans highly
useful,
productive and that they are able to experience visible outcome-oriented learning that is concrete and
enduring. Also, these plans are based on collaborative, interactive, and inquiry-based methodologies and
approaches to make the classroom learning more effective, vibrant and engaging. Based on low cost, no
cost material, these lesson plans can be applied with little effort and gain a lot of benefit for both teachers
and students in terms of learning and conceptual understanding.

The primary focus of the 'COVID-19 Accelerated Response for Education' has not only been on developing
lesson plans that address Student Learning Outcomes and allow teachers to help students discover
concepts, it has been ensured that plans are sequentially sub-divided in three major domains:
Ÿ Teaching
Ÿ Assessment
Ÿ Reinforcement
To ensure that the plan is executed in the best possible manner and that both teachers and learners get the
most out of the plans, it is suggested that time to each domain is allocated in the following percentage
while delivering them:
Ÿ Teaching 75%
Ÿ Assessment 15%
Ÿ Reinforcement 10%
An emphasis on bolstering concepts and skills through Worksheets:
Further to the above, worksheets have also been prepared to supplement and complement all SLOs
mentioned in the textbook. Like the lesson plans, the worksheets will also be shared with you on a rolling
basis. Each worksheet provides practice and strengthens conceptual clarity. Moreover, these worksheets
are aimed at keeping the students engaged in positive and productive activities while at home.
Gaining the most out of the Worksheets:
As mentioned above, the purpose of the worksheets is to consolidate and clarify concepts, but they can
also be used as:
Ÿ Assessment for learning
Ÿ Additional resource to be used in class
Ÿ Sample activities for teachers to replicate and devise their own worksheets on similar line.
Tips for Teachers:
To optimize these developed lesson plans, it is advisable for teachers to:
Ø go through and comprehend the relevant lesson plan well (Read and understand the text at least
twice)
Ø keep the relevant textbook with you when going through the plan
Ø read and comprehend the relevant chapter
Ø make notes if required
Ø ensure the availability of mentioned resources
Ø highlight the SLO's, progression of activities, stages, transitions, and key points
Ø visualize your actual classroom, space, seating plan and challenges
Ø foresee the organization of group, pair or individual work
Ø play the role of facilitator, leader and manager
Ø try your best to execute the lesson plan in its true spirit
Ø ensure proper time management
Ø adapt activity, if it is unavoidable
ii
Teachers’ Guide (Mathema cs) Lesson Plans

Ø Use teacher's discretion in implementation of the lesson i.e if you feel that a concept needs more
time, you may extend the lesson to the next period
Ø Wrap up the lesson with good spirit leaving a positive message.

Components of Lesson Plans:


Common elements in plans for lessons or units of study are a title/topic/problem, identification of Student
Learning Outcomes (SLOs), a sequence of learning activities including introductory, developmental and
concluding activities, a list of materials to be used and assessment strategies.
Choosing the Topic:. You can choose a topic from the textbook, a skill such as information gathering, a
value such as peace, a current affair topic or an area of special concern such as the environment.
Identifying Student learning Outcomes (SLOs) from the Curriculum. The national curriculum has
identified the Student Learning Outcomes to be achieved for each topic (if you do not have access to the
National Curriculum document for the subject you are teaching you could develop SLOs yourself).
Identifying the Student Learning Outcomes helps you to clarify the knowledge, skills and attitudes/values
to be developed. Choose only one to three SLOs to develop your lesson (many more for a unit plan).
Development: Learning Activities:
Introductory Activities:
Introductory activities are designed to introduce the topic, a sub-topic or to establish connection with the
previous lesson. They are designed to build readiness, create interest, raise questions and explore what
children already know about the topic, recall relevant information, motivate students and focus their
attention on the topic/theme/problem to be studied. Introductory activities can include and arrangement
of pictures and other times that stimulate interest and questions. It may be based on the teacher posing
questions, stating a problem or a dilemma, reading a poem or story, or inviting a guest speaker.
Developmental Activities:
Developmental activities should grow out of the introductory activities. There should be smooth
transitions between the activities to provide a smooth learning sequence. These activities are designed to
realize the Student Learning Outcomes. They introduce new concepts, skills and values or build on past
learning and should be linked with each other. They should flow from data gathering or intake activities to
data organizing activities, to demonstrative or applicative activities, and move on to creative and
expressive activities. Data gathering or intake activities provide the needed input to handle questions and
hypotheses. Organizing activities helps structure and summarize information. Applicative or
demonstrative activities extend learning and develop the ability to use concepts and skills. Creative and
expressive activities enrich learning and develop the ability to improvise and apply learning in original
ways.
Concluding Activities:
Concluding activities are activities that serve to consolidate, summarize, or facilitate students' application
of knowledge and skills to a new situation. They are generally related to the main idea of the lesson.
Material Resources:
A key part of planning is to ensure the resources required to impart the lesson effectively. Resources are
planned, identified, developed, or adapted for both teachers and students
Assessment of Learning: Assessment strategies tell us how well or to what extent the student learning
outcomes have been achieved. Assessment of learning is important in all phases of the lesson/unit from
introduction to conclusion. A variety of tools can be used to assess the realization of the chosen Learning
Outcomes. Some of these will be prepared as part of the learning activities, for example, the drawing and
labelling of a map, the checklist for evaluating a discussion, the final written report. Other tools such as
tests can be prepared ahead of time as well.

Teachers’ Guide (Mathema cs) Lesson Plans

Assessment/Evaluation:

This section focuses on ensuring that your students have arrived at their intended destination. Teachers
need to gather some evidence that they did.

A teacher, at this stage, should ask herself/himself:

Ÿ 'How will I evaluate Student Learning Outcomes that were identified?'


Ÿ 'What mode of assessment will give me the most accurate and clear picture of my students' learning
and progress?
Ÿ 'What gaps have I identified in learning that need to be rethought, and reassessed?'
Ÿ 'How can I make my assessment of students reliable and valid?'

Ÿ call a student to check, the both of the ratios like
5 ´ 4 20
=
7 ´ 4 28
Ÿ here we can see that a scale factor of 4 was used on both top and bottom the same number was
used to multiply both 5 and 7 in proportion.

Development 20 minutes

Activity 1 10 minutes

Teacher will solve a real life example to make students understand time and work using proportion:
Ÿ Take an example
¦ Ahmed earns Rs. 7000 in 2 weeks. What amount will he earn in 2 days if he works 6 days a week?
Ÿ Call a student to write on the writing board.
1 week = 7 days
2 weeks = 14 days
Method-I: Unitary Method
Ahmad earns in 14 days = 7000
7000
Ahmed earns in 1 day = By simplifying, we get
14
= 500
Ahmed earn in 2 days = 2 × 500
= Rs. 1000

Strategy
Step-I:
Total Amount = 7000
How many days he earns = 14 days

6
Teachers’ Guide (Mathema cs) Lesson Plans

Grade 7
Lesson 2
Step-II:
7000
Amount earned in 1 days =
14
= Rs. 500
Step-III
Required amount in 2 days = Rs. 500 × 2
= Rs. 1000
Method-II:
Ÿ Example, the cost of 5 Kg of Rice is Rs. 300. What will be the cost of 12 Kg of rice?
Step-I

Always write unknown quantity on the right side of the page.


Here, two quantities vary directly
Rice (Kg) Cost (Rs)
5 300
30 x

Here, we can see more quantity so more cost. It is direct proportion. In this case direction of
arrow heads will be same. Now take tail as numerator and head as denominator.

30 x
=
5 300
Take cross mul plica on
x ´ 5 = 300 ´ 30
300 ´ 30
x= By simplifying, we get
5
x = Rs. 1800

Activity 2 10 minutes

Ÿ Take example: 10 masons completed a wall in 4 days. In how many days will 20 masons complete the
same wall?
Solution:
The situation is an inverse proportion
7
Teachers’ Guide (Mathema cs) Lesson Plans

Grade 7
Lesson 2
Statement 1 shows 10 masons complete a wall in 4 days
Suppose the wall
Masons Day
10 4
20 x
But 20 masons complete the same wall in less days now.
Masons Day
10 4
20 x
Now take tail as numerator and head as denominator.

x 10
=
4 20
10 ´ 4
Now, x =
20
x = 2 days

As number of persons increased, me will decrease. So it is inverse propor on

Conclusion/Sum Up 2 minutes

Ÿ give some names of the objects which move,

Ÿ do these moving objects cover some distance?

Ÿ do these all moving things, cover the same distance in a certain time?

Development 30 minutes

Activity 1 10 minutes

The teacher will:


Ÿ ask the students if time is increased what is the effect on the distance?
Ÿ ask the students if time is decreased, what is the effect on the distance?
Ÿ tell students distance is directly proportional to time. (A car with same speed will cover more
distance in more time as compared in less time)
Ÿ tell students that in the same way distance covered is also directly proportional to the speed. (In the
same interval of time a car with higher speed will cover more distance as compared with low speed
car for same interval of time).
Ÿ tell students if the distance is same the time is inversely proportional to the speed.
This may be written as:
Distance = Speed × Time
distance
Speed =
time
So, the unit of speed is calculated by dividing the unit of distance by the unit of time.

Ÿ ask students to give examples of monomial, binomial and trinomial
Ÿ tell the students that now we will learn about addition of polynomials

Development 30 minutes

Activity 1 15 minutes
Ÿ Polynomials' Method of Addition: We use the method for adding polynomials by adding like
terms individually which is given below.
¦ We can arrange the polynomials in any order but usually we arrange them in descending
order and write the like terms vertically in a single column for adding
Ÿ Teacher will add the following polynomials as an example:
x3 + 3 x 2 y – 2 xy 2 + y 3 , 2 x3 – 5 x 2 y – 3 xy 2 – 2 y 3
Solution:
x3 + 3 x 2 y - 2 xy 2 + y3
2 x3 - 5 x 2 y - 3 xy 2 - 2 y3
3x3 - 2 x 2 y - 5 xy 2 - y3

Thus, 3x3 – 2x2y – 5xy2 – y3 is the required sum.

Activity 2 15 minutes

Ÿ The teacher will add the given polynomials on writing board for students as revision of addition
of polynomials:
2 x 4 y – 4 x3 y 2 + 3 x 2 y 3 – 7 xy 4 , x 4 y – 4 x3 y 2 – 3 x 2 y 3 + 8 xy 4
Solution:
2 x 4 y - 4 x 3 y 2 + 3 x 2 y 3 - 7 xy 4
x 4 y - 4 x 3 y 2 - 3 x 2 y 3 + 8 xy 4
3x 4 y - 8 x3 y 2 + 0 x2 y3 + xy 4
4 3 2 4
Thus, 3x y – 8x y + xy is the required sum.

Ÿ Polynomials Method for Subtraction


We just need to change the sign of terms of the polynomial which are to be subtracted and
simply add them. Given A and B, we have to subtract B from A.
A = x – 2y + z
B = –2x + y + z
Solution:
Subtract B from A i.e., A – B
A = x – 2y + z
± B = m 2x ± y ± z
A – B = 3x – 3y + 0z

Hence, A – B = 3x – 3y

Material/Resources Required

Development 30 minutes

Activity 1 15 minutes
Ÿ Teacher will solve the question on board as an example:
7 6 5 4 3 2 7 5 3
What must be added to x – x + x – x + x – x + x + 1 to get x + x + x – 1?
Solution:
Arrange the polynomial in descending order
7 5 3
First Polynomial = x +x +x –1
7 6 5 4 3 2
Second Polynomial = x –x +x –x +x –x +x+1
If we subtract the second polynomial from first polynomial, we can get the required polynomial:

x7 + 0 x6 + x5 + 0x4 + x3 + 0 x2 + 0x - 1
±x 7
m x6
± x m 5
x 4
± x m 3
x 2
± x ± 1
0 x7 + x6 + 0 x5 + x4 + 0 x3 + x2 - x - 2

Thus, x6 + x4 + x2 – x – 2 is the required polynomial.

Activity 2 15 minutes
Ÿ The teacher will solve another example:
What must be subtracted from 5x5y5 – 3x3y3 + 10xy – 9 to get 3x5y5 – 7x3y3 – 11xy + 19?
Solution:
First Polynomial = 5x5y5 – 3x3y3 + 10xy – 9
Second Polynomial = 3x5y5 – 7x3y3 – 11xy + 19

48
