1. TOPIC: NUMERIC PATTERNS: : Equivalent forms (Lesson 4)
2. OBJECTIVES: Learners should be able to investigate and extend numeric patterns
looking for relationships or rules of patterns
Using tables

5. REVIEW AND CORRECTION OF HOMEWORK (suggested time:5 minutes)
Homework provides an opportunity for teachers to track learners’ progress in the mastery of
mathematics concepts and to identify the problematic areas which require immediate attention.
Therefore, it is recommended that you place more focus on addressing errors from learner responses
that may later become misconceptions.
6. PRIOR KNOWLEDGE:
Counting forward and backward – addition and subtraction of whole numbers
Multiples
Multiplication of whole numbers
Division of whole numbers
Inverse operations
7. MENTAL MATHS: 10 minutes
The teacher asks learners to complete Flow diagram A and B

9. INTRODUCTION (Suggested time:10 Minutes)
The Teacher introduces the lesson by giving a contextual question that follows:
Thabo fills up his car’s tank with petrol. When full, the tank holds 60 ℓ of petrol. The table below shows
how much petrol is left in the tank as Thabo drives.
Distance driven (km) 0 40 80 120 160
Petrol in tank (litres) 60 56 52 48 44
Based on this information, how many kilometres can Thabo expect to drive until the petrol tank is
completely empty?
Allow the learners to explore how they would arrive at the answer that is 600 km.
10. LESSON PRESENTATION/ DEVELOPMENT (Suggested time:15 minutes)
Teaching Activities Learners
Activities
The Teacher should divide learners into small groups. Present the NOTE STRUCTURE:
following examples to the learners.
Divide learners into groups and engage them in the following example. Learners
Example should

that one person sits at each side of the table. For example, if there are 4 asked by the
tables, then 10 people can sit at the tables, as shown: teacher

number of tables changes.
b) Describe your method.
OR
Note: learners will understand better if they visually see how many people will sit
on one table, two tables and so on by drawing the people around the table. It
does not matter how learners may see the pattern, the output will still be the
same.

11. CONSOLIDATION/CONCLUSION and HOMEWORK (Suggested time: 5
minutes)
a) Emphasise that if two flow diagrams with different operators or order of
operators give the same results, we say the flow diagrams are
equivalent.
b) The primary purpose of Homework is to give each learner an opportunity
to demonstrate mastery of mathematics skills taught in class. Therefore
Homework should be purposeful and the principle of ‘Less is more’ is
recommended, i.e. give learners few high quality activities that address
variety of skills than many activities that do not enhance learners’
conceptual understanding. Carefully select appropriate activities from the

12.CLASSWORK/ HOMEWORK (Suggested time:15 minutes)
Matimba wants to rent a car for one day. He wonders if he should rent from Image Car Rental or from
AfriCars. Both charge a basic amount per day plus a rate per kilometre for the distance driven, according
to the values in the table. Matimba now wonders which company is cheaper.
Company Car Per day Per kilometre
Image 4-door sedan R180 R2
AfriCars 4-door sedan R80 R2,50
a) Help Matimba to decide which company is cheaper by completing the table of costs for
AfriCars and for Image Car Rental, for travelling different distances with the hired car.
b) What is your advice to Avril: should he hire from AfriCars or from Image Car Rental?
