ACTION PLANMs. Uzma AslamThe City SchoolJr. Section PAF ChaterMathematics Grade III

More important than the curriculum is the question of the methods of teaching and the spirit in which the teaching is given.Bertrand Russell

TOPIC: ADDITION For the month of: OCTOBERLONG TERM GOALSTo enable students to: empower, explore, encourage, and excel in Mathematics by incorporating 21st century skills. revise and practice all concepts additionadd 2-3 & 4 digits numbers think deeply about the mathematical concepts they learn. collaborate with peers and teachers on mathematical concepts using higher order thinkingThe BLOOMS TAXONOMY

SHORT TERM GOALSStudents will be able to:Remembering revise and practice all basic concepts done of addition Understanding Applying

solve the addition sums of (2,3 and 4) digitsCreating create addition stories with given numbersAnalysing

separate vocabulary words of additioncalculate the final answer of a number chain

INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIESStudents will be given mental math sums to revise the basic concepts of addition and for their further practice. White boards will be used for this purpose. Mental math will also be done in the notebooks.

Format of solving the sums horizontally and vertically will be discussed in detail emphasizing on place value, exercises will be given for the practice. Vocabulary words of addition will be asked and will be listed on the board. For further practice of addition they will complete the number chain of addition.

Students will be encouraged and motivated to now create addition stories using given numbers.

PROBLEMS & THEIR SOLUTIONSProblemsSolutionsUnmanageable for the teacher to monitor mental math work of all the students at the same time.Answers will be discussed and peer checking will be done.Students take time to retain the format of arranging sums.They will be grouped with mixed ability. Active learners will help their group members.In number chain students usually makes careless mistakes resultant to incorrect answer.In each group there will be one recorder who will remember answer of each step. For every sum there will be a new recorder so every student will get a chance.In addition stories a common error which students make is they add the greatest and smaller number.Students will be instructed to learn the fact rule In addition stories 2 smaller numbers are added or comes before = and the greatest number comes after = or comes in the end.Unavailability of multimedia/ ICT lab for online educational games and presentation.Worksheets will be provided and complete website address will be given to students to access the websites from home.RESOURCEShttp://www.superteacherworksheets.com/addition/addition-numberhunt.pdf (addition search worksheet)http://www.kidzone.ws/math/farm/t_math.asp?add.asp?au=9999&al=1000&bu=9999&bl=1000&d=v (addition 4 digits worksheet)http://www.primary-education-oasis.com/teaching-quotes.html (quotation)http://www.netrover.com/~kingskid/math_drills.htm (online games)ACKNOWLEDGEMENTMy Action plan will not be completed without thanking the following :
