3. RESOURCES: DBE textbook, and textbook.
• Common fractions : compare and order common fractions
• Number line
4. PRIOR KNOWLEDGE: • Masses of real life objects, e.g. mass of 2,5g Sugar
• Counting forwards and backwards in whole numbers
• Place value
5. REVIEW AND CORRECTION OF HOMEWORK (suggested time: 10 minutes)

Homework provides an opportunity for teachers to track learners’ progress in the mastery of
mathematics concepts and to identify the problematic areas which require immediate attention.
Therefore it is recommended that you place more focus on addressing errors from learner
responses that may later become misconceptions.

Activity 1

- Explain to the learners that a decimal number is another way of writing


fractions and have a decimal comma
1
- “deci” means one tenth, that is, 10 = 0,1

Revise place value of numbers:

TH H T U t h th
thousands hundreds tens units tenths hundredths thousandths

1000 100 10 1 1 1 1
10 100 1000

Comma

e.g. 3,256 can be shown with its place value as seen below

TH H T U t h th
3 2 5 6

In this place value table


2
- The value of 2 which is 2 tenths is = 0,2 in decimals
10

5
- The value of 5 which is 5 hundredths is 100 = 0,05 in decimals

6
- The value of 6 which is 6 thousandths is 1000 = 0,006 in decimals

This also means that the shaded part in this strip which is can be written in
10
decimal as 0,3

Explain to learners that between 0 and 1 there are other smaller numbers that are backwards in
very small increasing from 0 to 1 as seen in the number line below: decimals

0 0,1 0,2 0,3 0,4 0,5 0,6 0,7 0,8 0,9 1

This means that between 0 and 1 there are 10 small parts which could be
represented by decimals.

b) The primary purpose of Homework is to give each learner an opportunity to demonstrate mastery of
mathematics skills taught in class. Therefore Homework should be purposeful and the principle of
‘Less is more’ is recommended, i.e. give learners few high quality activities that address variety of
skills than many activities that do not enhance learners’ conceptual understanding.
Carefully select appropriate activities from the Sasol-Inzalo workbooks, workbooks and/or textbooks
for learners’ homework. The selected activities should address different cognitive levels.
