The use of ICT for October month second Block

The use of ICT for October month second Block

Class: IV

Subject: Mathematics

Topic: Equivalent Fractions

On 17^th October, 2019, my lesson was on “equivalent fraction” for class IV mathematics with the integration of ICT for duration of 45 minutes. I began the lesson by revising the previous lesson and then made a link to the actual topic.

For instance:

1.      What is equivalent fraction?

2.      List two equivalent fraction of 2/8?

Then I gave the instructions and demonstrated on how to go about the activity on PowerPoint presentation. After that I had divided my children into four groups of five members and assigned them to prepare a PowerPoint presentation on equivalent fractions.  By making the children to sit in their respective group, I asked them to solve and prepare PowerPoint presentation on the following questions.

1.      Write the definition of the equivalent fraction.

2.      Find four equivalent fractions of 24/30

3.      Name the fractions in each pair. Tell whether or not the fractions are equivalent.

The children were asked to present their PowerPoint presentation in groups. It was really successful one. Students could learn the equivalent fraction so fast which otherwise would have taken me weeks to teach manually. The quality of their presentation really proved that ICT helps not only the adult learners but also it has great impact on our young learners if given chance. This is one way that we could motivate our learners to take interest in learning.

Therefore, I could conclude that our 21^st century learners can really explore and get information on the given topic.

One drawback that I had come across was children had some challenges in inserting animations and finding the appropriate topic. However, rest of the lesson went well as planned.
