About these lesson plans
These 50 Form One Mathematics lesson plans follow the competence-based planning format used with the new TIE curriculum. They cover the basic concepts of mathematics, real numbers, repeating decimals, ratios and proportions, approximations, algebra and simultaneous equations, and the gradient and graphs of straight lines. Every lesson is 80 minutes and ends with a planned assessment.
What every lesson plan contains
Each plan uses the same seven-part header and a four-stage teaching structure:
- Header sections: class information (registered and present learners by gender), main competence, specific competence, main activity, specific activity, teaching and learning resources, and references.
- Teaching structure: Introduction, Competence Development, Design and Realisation, each with timing, teacher activities, learning activities and assessment criteria.
- Remarks: space for your reflection after the lesson.
- School details: a blank field for your school name, ready to complete.
