Procedure
Teachers Activity The teacher asks the following questions to the pupils orally : 1) What is volume of liquid? 2) What are the units used for volume? 3) How do we read the measurement of volume of liquid?
Pupils Activity Pupils answer individually what they know about volume of liquid. Expected answers from pupils : 1) Answers such as : - Amount of space occupied by liquid - Amount of substance a container can hold
Remarks
2) Litres
and millilitres
Teacher asks the following questions to the pupils : a) How many millilitres are there in 1 litre?
a)
1000 millilitres
Thinking Skills : *Emphasize on the relationships and conversion of volume of liquid Teacher asks one pupil to step in front and measure 500 of coloured-water Recalling Information
and pour into 1 beaker. Teacher asks all pupils these questions: Q : What is the measurement in the 1 beaker? Q : How much of the coloured-water in litres, in the form of : a) Fraction b) Decimal How do you get the answer? How about if you want to convert it back to millilitres? Multiply by 1000. Divide by 1000. a) Fraction : b) Decimal : 0.5 Thinking Skills : To estimate Answer : 500 Coloured-water, beakers
Teacher gives the questions on how to convert millilitres to litres using the concept of fractions or decimals (by long division). Example :
Teaching board
a) 1250
Expected answer from pupils : a) i) Decimal : 1250 = = 1.25 Long division method : EIC : Accurate self awareness
Pupils will be able to perform long division in vertical form. ii) Fraction :
ii) Teacher gives the questions on how to convert millilitres to litres using partitioning. Example : 1250 Expected answer from pupils : a) Decimal : 1250 = 1000 =1 + = + 0.25 + 250
= 1.25
b) Fraction : 1250 = 1000 =1 + = To convert volumes involving fractions and decimals in litres to millilitres. i) Teacher gives the questions on how to convert litres to millilitres using partitioning. Example : a) b) 2.5 Expected answer from pupils : a) 2.5 = 2 + 0.5 = 2000 (0.51000) = 2000 = 2500 + 500 + + 250
b)
ii) Teacher gives the question on how to convert litres to compound units (litres and millitres). Example : a) Expected answer from pupils : = = 2.75 1000 = 2750 = 2000 = 2 750 Pupils will be able to perform multiplication in vertical form. Group Activity Teacher divides the pupils into six groups and provides each group with a question and triangular cards (volumes in fractions and decimals). Step 2 (12 min) Questions are listed as below : a) 250 b) 400 c) 500 d) 750 e) 1000 f) 1750 Expected action from the pupils : Pupils will find the answers together and display the correct answers on the display sheet. + 750
Pupils sort the cards and pick sets of correct answer that show the same measurement. Example :
0.25 250
Expected answers from pupils : Then, pupils paste it on the display sheet on the board to form a triangular and complete the table shown on another display sheet as below. Litres in fractions Litres in decimals 250 400 500 750 1000 1750 1.0 1.750 1000 1750 0.500 0.750 500 750 Millilitres 0.400 400 Litres in Litres in Millilitres fractions decimals 0.250 250
Teacher gives few questions on problem solving question and guides the pupils to solve the questions. Example : i) What is the volume of 1.5 orange
Pupils are called to solve the problem on the board. Thinking Skills : Expected answers from pupils : i) 1.5 = 1.5 1000 = 1500 Moral Values : Confidence To convert
juice in millilitres?
ii) The volume of a bottle of pepsi is 250 . Write this volume in litre, in
the form of : a) Decimals b) Fractions Pupils are asked to answer questions from worksheets.
Enrichment: Good pupils are given a set of worksheets which contains more challenging questions to answer. Moral Values : Cooperation and Remediation: All weak pupils are grouped together to give further guidance and help from the teacher. Collaboration
Teacher summarizes the lesson which include the following learning outcomes Conversion of volume of liquid involving fractions and decimals in Closure (3 min) litres and vice versa, through the Content review partitioning and long division. Solve the problem involving volume of liquid. The teacher gives additional exercises for pupils to do as homework.
