These refer to tasks or exercises designed to facilitate learning and understanding of Calculations with fractions ‘fractions of whole numbers which result in whole numbers’. This section of the lesson plan should reflect that your lesson is learner-centred, by stating a lot more about what the learners will do than what the teacher will do. It should show learners as active participants rather than passive receivers of information. 4.1 Complete PART 1 of Table C.
