Overview:
In this lesson, learners will review their counting skills from grade 3 and
extend it to larger numbers. They will practice counting forwards and
backwards in different number sequences, such as 2s, 3s, 5s, 10s, 25s,
50s, and 100s. This will help them develop their understanding of number
patterns and sequencing. They will also learn how to order and compare
numbers up to four-digit numbers, which will help them develop their
critical thinking and problem-solving skills. This lesson will also reinforce
the value of accuracy and attention to detail in mathematical tasks. The
skills and concepts learned in this lesson will serve as a foundation for
future lessons on whole numbers.

DIFFERENTIATION
The differentiation strategy for this lesson will involve providing different levels of support and
challenge for learners based on their individual needs. For slower learners, the teacher can provide
additional practice and support in counting and ordering numbers, using manipulatives or visual aids
to help them understand the concepts. For faster learners, the teacher can provide more challenging
number sequences and encourage them to think critically about the patterns and relationships
between numbers. The teacher will also provide opportunities for all learners to work collaboratively
and support each other in their learning.

Criteria:
- Learners will be able to accurately represent odd and even numbers up
to at least 1 000.
- Learners will be able to correctly identify the place value of digits in
whole numbers up to at least four-digit numbers.
Overview:
In this lesson, learners will learn about the properties of odd and even
numbers and how to represent them. They will also review their
understanding of place value and learn how to identify the place value of
digits in larger numbers. This will be done through hands-on activities,
such as creating number charts and using manipulatives to represent
numbers.
DIFFERENTIATION
To ensure that all learners are able to accurately represent odd and even numbers and identify place
value, the teacher will use a differentiated approach. For slower learners, the teacher will provide
additional support and scaffolding through one-on-one instruction and the use of manipulatives. For
faster learners, the teacher will provide extension activities, such as challenging number puzzles, to
deepen their understanding and keep them engaged. This will ensure that all learners are able to
meet the lesson objectives and no one is left behind.

Criteria:
- Learners will be able to accurately round off numbers to the nearest 10,
100, and 1 000.
Overview:
In this lesson, learners will learn how to round off numbers to the nearest
10, 100, and 1 000. They will review their understanding of place value and
use this knowledge to round off numbers. This skill will be applied in
various activities and games, such as rounding off numbers on a number
line and playing rounding off games. They will also learn the importance
of estimation and how rounding off can be useful in real-life situations.
7. Conclusion (5 minutes):
- Learners will review the steps for rounding off
numbers to the nearest 10, 100, and 1 000.
- The teacher will summarize the lesson and
address any remaining questions or concerns.
DIFFERENTIATION
Differentiation Strategy:
To ensure that all learners are able to accurately round off numbers, the teacher will provide different
levels of support and practice activities based on individual needs. For slow learners, the teacher will
provide additional examples and one-on-one support during practice activities. For faster learners,
the teacher will provide more challenging activities, such as rounding off decimals or larger numbers.
This will allow all learners to work at their own pace and be appropriately challenged.
REMARKS/REFLECTION
Overview:
In this lesson, learners will focus on three-digit numbers and their
properties. They will review their understanding of counting, ordering, and
representing numbers and apply it to larger numbers. They will also learn
how to identify the place value of digits in three-digit numbers. This will be
done through hands-on activities, such as creating number patterns and
using manipulatives to represent numbers.
Exercises:
1. Complete a worksheet with three-digit numbers,
counting, ordering, and representing them.
2. Work in pairs to solve problems related to
three-digit numbers and their place value.

DIFFERENTIATION
Differentiation Strategy:
To ensure that all learners are able to understand and participate in the lesson, the teacher will
provide different levels of support and challenge. For slower learners, the teacher will provide
additional one-on-one support and use manipulatives to help them visualize and understand the
concepts. For faster learners, the teacher will provide extension activities, such as creating larger
numbers or solving more complex problems, to challenge them and deepen their understanding.
This will allow all learners to engage with the lesson at their own pace and level of understanding.
REMARKS/REFLECTION
Lesson Overview:
In this lesson, learners will focus on the place value of digits in larger
numbers. They will review their understanding of place value and learn
how to identify the place value of digits in four-digit numbers. This will be
done through hands-on activities, such as creating number charts and
using place value charts to represent numbers. This lesson builds upon
the previous lesson's focus on three-digit numbers and prepares learners
for the next lesson's focus on rounding off numbers.
6. Conclusion (5 minutes):
- Learners will gather on the carpet or at their
desks.
- Learners will participate in a class discussion
about what they learned in the lesson.
- Learners will share any questions or challenges
they had during the lesson.
DIFFERENTIATION
The teacher will differentiate instruction by providing additional support and scaffolding for slow
learners, such as using manipulatives and providing extra practice opportunities. For faster learners,
the teacher will provide extension activities, such as challenging word problems and open-ended
tasks, to deepen their understanding of place value. This will ensure that all learners are engaged
and challenged at their own pace, preventing any learner from being left behind.

Conditions:
- Learners will be presented with problem-solving tasks in different
contexts, such as real-life situations and mathematical word problems.
Criteria:
- Learners will be able to accurately apply their understanding of whole
numbers to solve problems in different contexts.
Lesson Overview:
In this final lesson, learners will review and apply the concepts and skills
they have learned throughout the week. They will be presented with
problem-solving tasks in different contexts, such as real-life situations and
mathematical word problems. This will allow them to apply their
knowledge and skills in a practical way and reinforce their understanding
of whole numbers.
Exercises:

show the number 63 in different ways."
5. Calculator use: "Solve the following problem
using a calculator: 234 + 56 = ___"
6. Reference materials: "Refer to your textbook for
additional practice on solving problems with
whole numbers."
7. Reflection and discussion: "How can we use our
understanding of whole numbers to solve
problems in different contexts?"
8. Quiz: "Solve the following problem: If there are
8 birds on a tree and 3 fly away, how many birds
are left on the tree?"
RESOURCES - Whiteboard and markers
- Worksheets with problem-solving tasks in
different contexts

students to use as needed
DIFFERENTIATION
The differentiation strategy for this lesson will involve providing different levels of difficulty for the
problem-solving tasks, catering to both slow and fast learners. Slow learners will be supported
through additional scaffolding and guidance, while faster learners will be challenged with more
complex problems and encouraged to explore different strategies. This will ensure that all learners
are engaged and able to apply their understanding of whole numbers in various contexts.
