Objectives
Understand the concept of whole numbers and their properties. Develop the
ability to perform basic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and
division) with whole numbers. Apply the acquired knowledge to solve real-
world problems involving whole numbers.
Introduction (5 - 7 minutes)
Review of Previous Content: The teacher starts the lesson by reminding
students about the concepts of numbers and their importance in everyday
life. He may ask questions such as “What are numbers used for in our daily
lives?” or “How do we use numbers to count or measure things?”.
Problem Situations: The teacher presents two problem situations involving
whole numbers. For example:
“If you have 5 apples and eat 2, how many apples are left?” “If you have 10
reais and want to buy a toy that costs 15 reais, do you have enough money?
Why?”
Contextualization: The teacher explains that whole numbers are used in
various everyday situations, such as counting objects, measuring quantities,
keeping track of time, among others.
Introduction to the Topic: The teacher introduces the topic of whole numbers,
explaining that they are the numbers we use to count things and that they do
not have decimals or fractions. He can mention that whole numbers include
both positive numbers (like 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.) and negative numbers (like -1, -2,
-3, -4, etc.), as well as zero.
Curiosities: To make the subject more interesting, the teacher can share
some curiosities about whole numbers. For example:
“Did you know that the concept of zero as a number was invented by the
Indians around the 5th century? Before that, people used Roman numerals,
which do not have a symbol for zero.” “Whole numbers are used in many
areas of science, including physics and chemistry, to represent quantities and
measurements.”
Development (10 - 15 minutes)
Theory: Whole Numbers and Their Properties (5 - 7 minutes)
The teacher explains that whole numbers are all the numbers we use to
count, including zero and negative numbers. He writes some examples of
whole numbers on the board, including positive numbers, negative numbers,
and zero. The teacher explains that whole numbers have some important
properties, such as closure (the result of an operation between two whole

Teachy
numbers is always a whole number) and order (whole numbers can be
arranged in ascending or descending order).
Practice: Operations with Whole Numbers (5 - 7 minutes)
The teacher teaches students how to perform the four basic operations
(addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) with whole numbers. He
demonstrates each operation with examples, starting with simple operations
and gradually increasing the complexity. The teacher encourages students to
participate, asking them to solve some operations on the board and
explaining each step.
Application: Solving Problems with Whole Numbers (5 - 7 minutes)
The teacher presents students with some everyday problems involving whole
numbers and asks them to solve them using the operations they have just
learned. He guides students through the problem-solving process, helping
them identify the appropriate operations and apply them correctly. The
teacher emphasizes the importance of reading the problem carefully,
understanding what is being asked, and organizing the resolution step by
step.
Review and Clarification of Doubts (2 - 3 minutes)
The teacher ends the Development phase by reviewing the main points
discussed and clarifying any doubts students may have. He can do a quick
review of the operations and properties of whole numbers, and reinforce the
importance of these concepts in everyday life.
Feedback (5 - 7 minutes)
Connection to the Real World (2 - 3 minutes)
The teacher asks students to think about real-life situations where they could
use what they have learned about whole numbers. He may ask questions
like: “When would you use addition with whole numbers?” or “How would you
use subtraction to solve a problem in your life?”. The teacher can share some
examples, such as using addition to count the number of students in a
classroom, or using subtraction to calculate how much money is left after
buying something.
Individual Reflection (1 - 2 minutes)
The teacher asks students to reflect for a minute on what they have learned
in the lesson. He can ask questions like: “What was the most important
concept you learned today?” and “What questions have not been answered
yet?”. The teacher encourages students to share their reflections, respecting
everyone’s opinions and promoting a collaborative and inclusive learning
environment.

Feedback and Evaluation (2 - 3 minutes)
The teacher requests feedback from students about the lesson. He can ask
what they liked the most, what they found most challenging, and what they
would like to learn more about. The teacher also evaluates students’
understanding by asking some questions, such as: “What are whole
numbers?” and “How can you perform operations with whole numbers?”.
Based on students’ responses, the teacher can make adjustments to the next
lessons, reinforcing the concepts that were more difficult or deepening the
topics that generated more interest.
Closure (1 minute)
The teacher ends the lesson by reinforcing the importance of the concept of
whole numbers and encouraging students to practice at home. He can
suggest some exercises from the textbook or online educational resources for
students to do at home to consolidate what they have learned.
Conclusion (3 - 5 minutes)
Summary of the Lesson (1 - 2 minutes)
The teacher recaps the main points of the lesson, reinforcing the concept of
whole numbers, their properties, and the operations that can be performed
with them. He revisits the problem situations presented at the beginning of
the lesson and how they were solved using the concepts learned.
Connection between Theory, Practice, and Applications (1 minute)
The teacher highlights how the lesson connected theory, practice, and
applications. He emphasizes that students not only learned the theory about
whole numbers but also had the opportunity to practice operations and apply
them to real-world situations.
Extra Materials (1 minute)
The teacher suggests some extra materials for students who wish to deepen
their knowledge of whole numbers. This may include online videos,
educational games, interactive exercises, and math textbooks. He can
recommend, for example, an online math game that challenges students to
solve problems with whole numbers in a fun and engaging way.
Importance of the Subject (1 - 2 minutes)
To conclude, the teacher reinforces the importance of whole numbers in
everyday life. He explains that they are used in a variety of situations, from
simple tasks like counting objects and measuring quantities, to complex
applications in science, engineering, economics, and many other fields. The
teacher encourages students to notice and appreciate the presence of whole

numbers in their daily lives, reminding them that they are fundamental tools
for understanding and interacting with the world around us.
