LESSON PLANNING OF TIME CONVENTION OF YEARS TO MONTHS, MONTHS TO WEEKS, WEEKS TO DAYS AND VICE VERSA

Subject Mathematics

Grade 5^th

Students` Learning Outcomes

• Convert years to month, months to weeks, weeks to days and vice versa.

Information for Teachers

1 years = 12 months

1 month = 30 days

7 days = 1 week

1 months = 4 weeks

In a Solar calendar which we normally use:

1 normal years = 365 days

[February is of 8 days]

1 year = 52 weeks

Every fourth year is a leap year

1 leap year = 365 days

[February is of 29 days]

7 months = 31 days.

[January, March, may, July, august m October, December]

4 months = 31 days

[April, June, September, November]

In a Lunar Calendar:

1 year = 365 days.

Each month = 29/30 days on the appearance of the moon.

• Against two methods of GSM and SGD will be used.
• Teacher will consult textbook at all steps where and when required.

Material / Resources

Writing board, chalk / marker, duster, old calendars, glue or tape, textbook

Introduction

• Time is something that most of us taken for granted. For example;

Presentation: [To be played by the whole class]

• We all are going to do a role play today.
• Ask the whole class to stand up.
• Split the whole class into groups.
• Tell each one of you is ‘A MONTH’
• Say: please come one year from the left side, and, sit down. [see whether the group coordinates and make a group of 12 students]

Repeat: 1 year = 12 months

• Say: two years from the right side, and, sit down. [see whether the group coordinates and make a group of 24 students]
• Ask them all to stand once again and repeat the activity with 3 years [36 students], four years [48 students] etc.
• Conclude the discussion on 1 year = 12 month.

Activity 4

• Discuss with the whole class about how we figured out number of students to present years or months, etc.  
  

Activity 5 

Whole class:

• Answer the following:

1.       Which is longer, 365 days or a year?

2.       Which is shorter 150 days or 6 months?

3.       Are 52 weeks equal to 2 years?

4.       Which is longer 4 weeks or 40 days?

5.       Two leap year is = _________ days.

6.       Which is longer 8 months or 200 days?

• Ask the reason for each answer
