After each group has solved the problems, bring the class back together and ask each group to share one of their word problems and solutions. As students present, encourage the class to offer supportive feedback and ask questions.
Activity: “Math in the Real World” (25 minutes)
For this activity, create a “store” or “market” simulation where students will use word problems to "buy" and "sell" items. Each item will have a price and students will need to solve word problems to determine the cost or amount of money they’ll need to pay. Items should have a price related to simple multiplication, addition, or subtraction problems.
Example items:
3 packs of gum (Price: ₹15 per pack)
4 toys (Price: ₹5 per toy)
5 apples (Price: ₹12 per apple)
Multiplication Word Problems
- A baker uses 3 cups of flour for each loaf of bread. How many cups of flour will he use to bake 8 loaves?
- Jenny reads 9 books a month. How many books will she read in a year?
- The product of 6 and 7 equals the number of oranges in a basket. How many oranges are in the basket?
- The number of petals on a flower is 7 times 5. How many petals are there on the flower?
- If you triple the number of 4 cats, how many cats will you have?
Ask students solve each word problem, they can "purchase" an item (they won't actually spend money, but they will keep track of their answers). Use manipulatives to help students visualize how much money they need or how much change they should receive.
Review Assessment (5 minutes):
Review the key points of the lesson: how to solve multiplication, addition, and subtraction word problems. Ask students to share one strategy that helped them solve a problem today.

Introduction Activity (20 minutes)
The teacher explains a scenario: “You’ve got a garden bed that covers 1/2 of your backyard. You want to plant carrots in 1/3 of that garden bed. How much of your backyard will be used for carrots?”
Step-by-Step Explanation:
- 1. Start with the whole backyard – think of it as 1 whole.
- 2. 1/2 of the backyard is used as a garden bed.
- That means half of your total space is now dedicated to gardening.
- 3. Now, you only want to use 1/3 of that garden bed for carrots.
So you're taking a fraction (1/3) of another fraction (1/2).
Mathematically, that means you multiply:
1/3 × 1/2 = 1/6
That means : You can draw a rectangle:
Shade half of it (that’s the garden bed).
Then, within the shaded half, divide it into 3 equal parts and shade 1 of them (that’s the carrots).
You’ll see 1 out of the 6 parts of the whole rectangle is shaded — which shows 1/6.

Introduction activity (10 minutes)
Ask: “Have you ever seen ₹0.50 or ₹0.75 on a price tag? What do they mean?”
Explain that decimals are used to represent parts of a whole, like paise out of one rupee.
Main activity (70 minutes)
What is a Decimal? (30 minutes)
A decimal is a number that has a dot called a decimal point. It helps us show parts of a whole, like halves, tenths, and hundredths.
Example: 0.5 means five tenths – like half of 1.
Example: 1.25 means 1 whole and 25 hundredths.
How to Teach Children to Read Decimals
Step-by-Step Strategy:
1. Start with the Decimal Point
Teach: “The decimal point separates whole numbers from parts of a number.”
Show examples like:
- 1.2 → one and two tenths
- 0.75 → zero and seventy-five hundredths
- 0.1 → zero and one tenth
- 0.5 → zero and five tenths
- 1.2 → one and two tenths
- 2.9 → two and nine tenths
- 0.25 → zero and twenty-five hundredths
- 9.01 → nine and one hundredth
- 6.007 → six and seven thousandths
- 0.009 → zero and nine thousandths
- 8.501 → eight and five hundred one thousandths.

Perimeter |
Objective |
|
Concept |
|
Materials Required |
|
Methodology |
Activity-based Learning: Measuring and walking perimeters. Experiential Learning: Relating perimeter to real objects (tables, books, playground). |
Session Duration |
90 Minutes |
Introduction Activity (15 minutes):
SHAPE WALK Draw large shapes on the floor using tape. Students walk along the edges of each shape counting steps. Discuss which shape had the longest perimeter.
Main Activity(70 minutes):
Hands-On Measurement: REAL-WORLD PERIMETER (20 minutes)
1. Measure the sides of classroom items (e.g., desk, whiteboard) using rulers or string.
2. Calculate perimeter using appropriate formulas.
3. Write and label the shapes with their dimensions and perimeter.
Fun Puzzle Time! (20 minutes)
Students solve puzzles like:
"A square has a side of 5 cm. What is its perimeter?"
"A rectangle is 6 cm long and 3 cm wide. Find the perimeter."
"A circle has a radius of 7 cm. What is the circumference?"
Time to Solve (20 Minutes)
1. Match Shapes to Their Perimeters
Look at the shape and see the lengths of its sides.
Add all the sides together to find the perimeter (the distance around the shape).
Then, match the shape to the correct number (perimeter) from a list.
Example:
A square with each side = 5 cm
Perimeter = 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 20 cm
2. Fill in Missing Sides and Find Total Perimeter
Some sides of a shape are missing.
Use what you know about shapes (like rectangles have equal opposite sides) to fill in the blanks.
Then, add up all the sides to find the total perimeter.
Example:
Rectangle: One long side is 8 cm, one short side is 3 cm
Opposite sides are the same, so:
Perimeter = 8 + 3 + 8 + 3 = 22 cm
3. True or False: "A circle’s perimeter is the same as its area."
Answer: False
Simple Explanation:
The perimeter of a circle (called circumference) is how far it is around the edge.
The area is how much space is inside the circle.
These are different things, so the answer is False.

1. Quick Review of Perimeter
Write on the board:
Perimeter = the total distance around the outside of a shape.
Say:
“If I walk all the way around the edge of a soccer field, what am I measuring?”
Let students respond:
“The perimeter!”
Next example:
“Imagine you’re putting a fence around your garden. You need to know how much fencing to buy. That’s the perimeter—the total length around it.”
Draw a rectangle on the board to represent a garden
Label: Length = 6 meters, Width = 4 meters
Ask:
“How much fencing would I need to go all the way around?”
Guide them: 6 + 4 + 6 + 4 = 20 meters
2. Transition to Area
Ask:
“What do we mean when we talk about the area of a shape?”
(Wait for responses. Guide as needed.)
Then explain:
“Area is the amount of surface inside the shape. It tells us how much space we’re covering.”
Real-life example:
“If I want to put carpet on the floor of a room, I’m not just measuring around it—I need to know how much space the carpet needs to cover. That’s the area.”
Use the same rectangle drawing:
Say:
“This could be the shape of a room. If I wanted to put tiles or carpet in here, I’d need to know how much flooring material to buy. That’s the area!”
- Engage: Ask students, “How can we measure how much space a shape takes up on a surface?”
- Introduce the word "Area" and explain that it is the amount of space inside a shape.
- Show a square and a rectangle on the board and ask students how they are different and similar.
Define:
- Square: A shape with 4 equal sides and 4 right angles.
- Rectangle: A shape with opposite sides equal and 4 right angles.
- Rectangle: Area = length × width
- Square: Area = side × side

Intro Activity(45 minutes)
Working Model ( 25 minutes )
Materials Needed:
- A table with numbers 1 to 50 written on it
- Paper cups or glasses placed in front of each number
- A box of beads (or small objects like pebbles)
Steps:
- Introduce two numbers — for example, 10 and 15.
- Give a student the box of beads.
First round (for 10):
- Ask the student to place one bead in every cup whose number is a factor of 10.
(Factors of 10 = 1, 2, 5, 10 → place beads at: 1, 2, 5, 10)
Second round (for 15):
- Now ask the student to place another bead in every cup whose number is a factor of 15.
(Factors of 15 = 1, 3, 5, 15 → place beads at: 1, 3, 5, 15) - Now look at the cups that have two beads — these represent numbers that are common factors of both 10 and 15.
- The cups with two beads will be at: 1 and 5 (Common factors of 10 and 15 are 1 and 5)
Conclusion:
The highest number that has two beads (common factor) is 5.
So, the HCF of 10 and 15 = 5.
You can repeat this activity with other number pairs like:
- 12 and 18 (HCF = 6)
- 8 and 12 (HCF = 4)
Group Work (20 Minutes)
- Divide students into small groups. Give each group 4 number cards. Example: 12, 18, 24, 30.
- Ask them to find all factors of their numbers and write them down.

- Factors of 12: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12
- Factors of 18: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18
- Factors of 24: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24
- Factors of 30: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30
- Now, ask them to circle the common factors. Common factors: 1, 2, 3, 6
- Guide them to find the highest common factor. HCF = 6
Discussion: What do you notice? Why is this factor important?
Answer: The HCF is the largest number that divides all given numbers without a remainder.

Main Activity (70 minutes)
What’s a Triangle? Discussion (10 minutes)
Show pictures of different shapes (triangle, square, rectangle, circle).
Ask: Which one is a triangle? How do you know?
Teacher highlights:
A triangle has 3 sides and 3 angles. It’s a closed shape.
Story Time : (15 minutes )
In the Triangle Kingdom, every triangle has a secret code: its 3 angles must always work together to form a straight line (180°) to keep the kingdom safe!
Characters:-
- Prince Equi (Equilateral)
- Sir Righty (Right triangle)
- Lady Acuta (Acute triangle)
- General Obtusa (Obtuse triangle)
The sum of the interior angles of any triangle is always equal to 180 degrees.
In mathematical notation, for a triangle ABC with interior angles angle A, angle B, and angle C, the triangle sum theorem can be expressed as:
‹A + ‹ B + ‹C = 180⁰
Ask: Can you guess how their angles work together?
Student Engagement:- (10 minutes )
Ask students to act out triangle characters (e.g., stretch arms to represent different angles).
Key Concept : ( 10 minutes )
