1. ACTION PLAN The City School Jr. Section PAF Chater Ms. Uzma Aslam
Mathematics
Grade III

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

3. For the month of: OCTOBER
TOPIC: ADDITION
For the month of: OCTOBER

4. LONG TERM GOALS To enable students to:
empower, explore, encourage, and excel in Mathematics by incorporating 21st century skills.
revise and practice all concepts addition
add 2-3 & 4 digits numbers
think deeply about the mathematical concepts they learn.
collaborate with peers and teachers on mathematical concepts using higher order thinking

5. The BLOOM’S TAXONOMY

6. SHORT TERM GOALS Students 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) digits

7. Analysing
separate vocabulary words of addition
calculate the final answer of a number chain
Creating
create addition stories with given numbers

8. INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES
Students 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.

9. 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.

10. Mental math S.# Sum Answer 1 1 more than 119 2 2 more than 69 3

12. Addition 4 digits

13. Vocabulary words and Number chain
Start with nine
Double the number
Add six
Answer =
Vocabulary words
add, addition, plus, sum,
total of, increase,
altogether,morethan, double, grouping,
pairs, carry

14. Addition Stories Find what needs to be added
to each of the outside number
to make the number at the
centre 90 45 = 90 34 20 = 54

15. TIMELINE

16. PROBLEMS & THEIR SOLUTIONS
Unmanageable 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.

17. 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.
