Weighing balance, scale balance, stones, and bottles.

INTRODUCTION TO METRIC WEIGHT
The heaviness of an object tells us what weight is. There are various objects for measuring weight such as the scale balance, the weighing and the spring balance. The basic unit of measuring weight is gram (g). The weight of heavy objects like bags of cement are measured in kilograms while light objects like pen, pencil are weighed in grams.

CONVERSION OF METRIC METRIC WEIGHT
10 milligrams (mg) = 1 centimeter (cg) 
10 centigrams = 1 decigrams (dg) 
10dg = 1 gram (g) 
100cg = 1g
1000g = 1 kilogram (g)
1000kg = 1 ton (t) 
 Pupils should be Able to ;
Define weight, find the various units of measuring weight and with the aid of weight instruments like scale balance measure weights of an object.

STARTER
 Begin the lesson by showing pupils a scale balance then ask to stand on it and measure their weights.

PLENARY
The pupils are given a Worksheet which contains different objects and they are to tick which one they think should be heavier as a result of size and nature of the object.

EXERCISE 
Convert the following weights to gram:
i. 1kg
ii. 5kg
iii. 5mg
iv. 2200cg
Convert the following weights to kg:
i. 2500g
ii. 200g
iii. 1600mg
iv. 200cg

ADDITION OF METRIC WEIGHT
Addition of metric weight is similar to basic addition arithmetic. But note:
10mg = 1cg, 100cg = 1g, 1000g = 1kg, 1000kg = 1 t

EXAMPLES
1. Add 24cg 9mg to 33cg 8mg
  
Solution      
               

PLENARY    
Pupils should be able to add various units of weight together.

STARTER
Start the lesson by asking them questions on units of weight and perform basic addition operation.

SUBTRACTION OF METRIC WEIGHT
Subtraction of metric weight is similar to basic subtraction operation. But note:
10mg = 1cg, 100cg = 1g, 1000g = 1kg, 1000kg = 1 t
EXAMPLES
1. Subtract 11cg 7mg from 24cg 6mg
    Solution
              

PLENARY 
Pupils should be able  to subtract various units of weights.

STARTER
Begin the lesson by asking them solutions on subtraction problems.

DISCOUNT AND COMMISSION MATHEMATICS LESSON PLAN AND LESSON NOTE FOR PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOLS

Monday   Meaning of Discount  Finding cost and cash price on discounted goods Resources  Inside out  Learn   mathematics Book 6, page  125  items like; currency note Milo, biscuits, books, pencils, school bag   Meaning of Discount Discount is a reduction in the price of an article. It is often a certain percentage of the actual price of the article. Examples 1. A table clock cost $200, and a 10% discount is given for paying cash. What is the cash price? Solution The discount = 10% of $200 =   10     x 200= 20 100 So Cash price = original price – discount                                                             Amount   =    $200 –  $20 = $180  2. The selling price of a shirt is $900. The trader gives 5% discount for cash. How much is the buyer paying. Solution The discount = 5% of $900 = $45 So Cash price = original price – discount amount                         = $900 – $45 = $855 Begin the lesson by showing them an image of a market where buying and selling is taking place, then

DO YOU SEE THESE STRANGE LINES ON YOUR NAILS? DON'T JOKE WITH IT, THIS IS WHAT IT SAYS OF YOUR HEALTH

As I’ve gotten older, those vertical ridges on my nails seem to be getting more and more prominent. That’s when I decided to do some research to see if those ridges meant anything about my health, and if there was anything I could do to get rid of them. What They Mean About Your Health After a lot of research, I did find that there is a small, rare possibility that those ridges can mean an underlying medical condition or possibly even nail trauma. But for most of us, it’s completely normal as we age to see them getting more noticeable, especially if you have dry skin or skin conditions such as eczema. I’m 36, and they’ve only recently started bothering me, but I’m relieved to find that they are most likely harmless. I’m just getting old. But Why Are They There? They’re basically like wrinkles of the nails!
