Teacher's Guide Module 1 - Maths Excellence

CRAFT MARKET
Again this is a comparing exercise with lots of numbers. It is quite straightforward but
many calculations are needed. If learners try to estimate, by rounding off, praise them and
see if the method is accurate enough to provide a correct answer. Then they fill in the
assessment sheet; the educator gives his/her assessment and the two may be compared.
..........................ACTIVITY 4
This ACTIVITY is basically about money, buying and selling, word sums concerning
money, human rights, social justice and environmental affairs. Learners have to pick out
relevant amounts in a list. The question about the environment poses practical problems
of pollution, which could lead to a useful discussion. There is also a budget, Grade 4
level; a practical exercise which they could enjoy. Human rights and social justice
questions are included in a practical way at Grade 4 level. The Budget is quite advanced
and you may have to guide them.
..........................ACTIVITY 5
There are explicit instructions in the module. You will have to make books available and
give guidance.
Speed Tests
There are 4 at the end of the module for those educators who still use them. They can be
given at regular intervals.
