PART 5 [10]
Van de Walle, Karp, and Bay-Williams (2016) provide processes that assist in the designing of lesson
plans that promote mathematical practices which emphasise enquiry and problem-solving where
learners are challenged to think, communicate, and justify their ideas.
- The lesson has a three-phase format, namely, before, during, and after. Select one topic in topic:
Fractions in Intermediate phase and showcase how you will focus your lesson in the “during” part of
the lesson as explained in 2.10 of your study guide.
- Provide the following to give a good background to your topic choice: Date; Grade; Topic and Lesson
Objective.
- Provide a brief summary of how you will handle the five identified sub-sections in this part with
example. Do not be general in your explanations.
NB!
1. This module is on Fractions.
2. Give the mind map of the development of the concept you intend to use in the “During” part of
the lesson. Show prior knowledge, new concept to be taught and the next concept to be taught
to show the link and the importance of planning.
