TMN3704 ASSIGNMENT 4
AUGUST 21, 2023
, ACTIVITY 1
1.1 Define the concept: "lesson plan".
A lesson plan is a written document that outlines the goals, objectives, activities, and
assessment methods for a specific lesson or unit of instruction.
1.2 Identify and explain any two key concepts from the definition of a lesson plan. These
are terms that are central to the main points of the description of a lesson plan.
Two fundamental components of a lesson plan encompass the notions of objectives and
activities.
Objectives encompass the overarching learning outcomes that an educator aims for their
students to grasp after completing a lesson or unit. These objectives not only provide a clear
sense of direction and purpose for the instructional undertakings but also establish a yardstick
against which to gauge student advancement and accomplishments. Activities, on the other
hand, encompass the specific exercises and tasks that the instructor envisions employing to
facilitate student learning and the attainment of the stated objectives. These activities can
manifest in various formats, including discussions, readings, collaborative tasks, or
assessments, and should be chosen based on their capacity to bolster the intended learning
outcomes. Meticulously crafted activities should engross students, nurture skills in critical
thinking and problem-solving, and offer feedback to the educator for gauging student
comprehension and making instructional adaptations when necessary.

1.4 Carefully study the details of the topic as it is presented in the Curriculum and
Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) document and then answer the following
questions:
1.4.1 In which term(s) is the topic ‘Properties of 3-D objects’ taught in Grade 6?
The topic 'Properties of 3-D objects' is taught in Term 2 and Term 4 in Grade 6.
1.4.2 How much time is allocated to the topic ‘Properties of 3-D objects’ in Grade 6?
The topic 'Properties of 3-D objects' is allocated 10 hours in Grade 6
1.4.3 How does the key concept ‘Range of objects’ develop from Grade 5 to Grade 6?
In other words, what is the level of complexity of this key concept in specified
grades?
In the context of Grade 5, the central theme of 'Range of objects' revolves around the
identification and comparison of attributes inherent in various 2-D shapes. As students’
progress to Grade 6, the same pivotal theme, 'Range of objects,' transitions its focus towards
the recognition and comparison of attributes tied to 3-D shapes. This expanded perspective
encompasses facets like volume, surface area, and the discernment of nets corresponding
to 3-D shapes. The complexity associated with this fundamental concept experiences a
marked escalation as students advance from Grade 5 to Grade 6. This evolution involves a
shift from working primarily with 2-D shapes to the realm of 3-D shapes, accompanied by the
integration of additional attributes such as volume and surface area.
