B. Developmental Activities

1. Presentation

             Peter has to clean 4 windows from four rooms. How many windows does Peter have to clean?

Discuss the following questions:

1. Who cleaned the windows? Why do you think he has to clean windows? Why is cleanliness important?

Let pupils formulate mathematical expression to solve the problem.

Ask: What mathematical phrase can be used to solve the problem? What makes your sentence true? What sign is used to show that your sentence is true?

Discuss that a mathematical sentence showing equality is called equation.

Let pupils realize that 16 is the product of 4 x 4. Discuss that 4 x 4 can be expressed as 4². Explain to the pupils about base and exponent.
