Teaching/learning procedures & act:
1. Lesson opening will be firstly done. The teacher will show students a video clip which
will introduce students to odd and even numbers.
2. After the lesson opening, the teacher will continue the lesson by using a chart to explain
what are odd and even numbers.
3. Students will then be required to partake in an activity which requires them to come to
the board and select a number off a chart and place it in its appropriate column; either
odd or even.
4. Students will be placed in groups and will be engaged in a game where they will be
required to create a path using odd and even numbers for which odd Todd and even Steve
will be able to get to their new homes.
5. Teacher will show students a power point to close off the lesson. After which students
will be asked to recap what was taught.
6. Students will then be given a worksheet as their form of evaluation.
