MATHEMATICS LESSON PLAN
GRADE 6
TERM 2: APRIL-JUNE
PROVINCE: NORTHERN CAPE
DISTRICT: FRANCES BAARD
SCHOOL: ZINGISA PRIMARY SCHOOL
TEACHER’S NAME: SHADRACK THABANG MAUBANE
DATE: 11-12 APRIL 2024
DURATION: 1 Hour
1. TOPIC: NUMERIC PATTERNS: Investigate and extend patterns (Lesson 1)
2. CONCEPTS & SKILLS TO BE ACHIEVED:

By the end of the lesson, learners should know and be able to:
 investigate and extend numeric patterns looking for relationships or rules of patterns:
 sequences involving a constant difference or ratio.
 of learners’ own creation
 describe observed relationships or rules in learner’s own words
Grade 6 Lesson Plan: Term 2

NUMERIC PATTERNS: Investigate and extend patterns (Lesson 1)
3. RESOURCES: DBE workbook 1, DBE textbook (TG and LB), any other textbooks
 number sentence
4. PRIOR KNOWLEDGE:
 all four operations with whole numbers
5. REVIEW AND CORRECTION OF HOMEWORK (suggested time: 10 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. INTRODUCTION (Suggested time: 10 Minutes)
Ask the learners to complete the following activities

Activity 1
Complete the following number sentences
a. 4×1 +¿ 6 ¿
b. 4×2 +¿ 6 ¿
c. 4× ? +¿ 6 ¿ 26
d. 4× ? +¿ 6 ¿ 30
e. 4× ? +¿ 6 ¿ 34
Activity 2
Count in multiples of 4 to get the next number
4; 8;12;16;20; ____.

7. LESSON PRESENTATION/DEVELOPMENT(Suggested time: 25 minutes)
Learning activities
Teaching activities (Learners are
expected to:)
Group learners into small groups  respond to the
questions
Activity 1 asked by the
Learners in groups respond to the following questions. teacher
1;4;7;10;13; ____.
1. Extend the pattern.

2. What do we have to do to the first number to get the second number?
Say we add +¿ 3 to get 4.
3. Can you see what happens?
You must add +3 to 4 to get 7, add +3 to 7 to get 10. You add +3
every time to get the next term.
4. Describe what you have done in own words.
In this pattern you add +3 (common difference) to get the next term.
5. Can you see that the rule must have an operation and a number?
The next number in the sequence above is: 13+3=16
Note: After learners have given their explanations, consolidate as follows:
4 7 10 13
3 3 3
Use the explanation such as the one above to explain to learners that
the same number added to a term to get the next term is called the
constant difference. When learners can extend the patterns with
constant difference, they are ready to move on to describing the
general rule for the pattern in own words. Encourage the learners to
describe the general rule in own words by looking at the
relationship between the successive terms. Explain to the learners that
if patterns are not represented in tables, the term which appears first in
the pattern is the first term, unless stated otherwise.
8. CLASSWORK (Suggested time: 10 minutes)

Note: Give the learners different number patterns to extend and describe patterns in own words.
Activity 1
1) Extend the patterns below by writing the next three numbers
a) 15; 19; 23;27;31; _____; ______; ______
b) 2; 13; 24; 35; 46; _____; ______; ______
c) 97;90;83; 76; 69; _____; ______; ______
2) Describe each pattern in own words.

3) Write the second term of each described pattern above in a form of a number sentence.
9. CONSOLIDATION/CONCLUSION& HOMEWORK (Suggested time: 5 minutes)
a) Emphasise that:
 to extend a pattern, look for constant difference between the terms.

 to predict any term or position of the term in the pattern, first describe the observed relationship
in own words.
 number pattern is a sequence of numbers that follow a particular order.
 in some patterns there is a certain number that must be added or subtracted to get the next
number (common difference).
 a common difference can be positive or negative number.
 in some instances, you get the next number by multiplying by a specific number (common ratio).
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 DBE textbook (LB), workbooks
and/or any other textbook for learners’ homework. The selected activities should address
different cognitive levels.
Recommended Homework:
a) Write the next terms patterns below:
A. 18; 21; 24; _____.

B. 25; 21; 17; _____.
b) Create your own pattern and describe the rule in own words.
c) DBE textbook (LB) page 116 Activities 3,4 & 5
