5. Procedures/Methods-

A. Introduction-

1.Introduce the word (CIRCLE)
Let pupils identify circular shapes.

2.Provide children with a collection of BIG and SMALL circles that the educator will have previously draw and cut from bristol paper.

Ask pupils to distinguish and sort out the BIG from the Small circles.
 

B. Development-

Development and Practice:

1.Introduction of the word (CIRCLE) ORAL/BRAINSTORMING

Let pupils identify circular shapes that will be exposed in class and if they find out/voice out other objects educator will praise them.
E.G:-
-The fan
-a CD
-bottle tops
-elastic bands
-earings
-wheel
-round about

Note:If pupils say a word in french or creole, eductor will help him and say the word again in english so that the pupils hear the word and gets acquainted to it.

2.By the end of the brainstorming activity, the educator writes on board CIRCLE on top of the board and pupils are given time to observe the word.

Then, educator gives a circle to a student and the pupil will have to hold it and say "a circle". when the 1st student finishes he/she will pass the circle to his/her frind in the same group and everybody in turn will do this little activity.

This will help me to check whether they can say the word circle correctly. This will also enable me to correct those who have difficulties and break the monotony of the traditional class.

3.Then educator will provide each group with 2 circles a big one and a small one.
Pupils will be asked to observe the circles and say what they can see.
Expected answers:
A big and a small circle,
or a (colour)/(size) circle.

Then educator sticks a big and a small circle on board and writes above or below the respective circle:

A big circle.
A small circle.

-Draw a big circle and colour it red
on the other part draw a small cirle and colour it blue

Educator monitors pupils work by walking around.

In the end:
 

D. Checking for understanding-

Formative & Summative Assessment:
