Sure! Below are some guidelines to help you fill in the information for each section of the activities. **ACTIVITY 12** **12.1 Explain how the teacher explained the mathematical game to the children. (3)** The teacher began by showing the game board to the children, explaining the primary objective of reaching the end first. They highlighted the special squares, such as those with ladders that move players ahead and snakes that bring them back. The teacher also demonstrated the use of dice to determine how many spaces to move and clarified how to count the squares correctly by moving the game pieces accordingly. **12.2 Which mathematical concepts did the children learn in the game? (2)** The children learned counting and number recognition as they moved their game pieces. They also learned about basic arithmetic operations, such as addition and subtraction, as they encountered ladders and snakes which affected their positions on the board. **12.3 What rules of the game (how to play the game) did the teacher explain to the children? (2)** The teacher explained that each player takes turns rolling a die and moving their piece according to the number shown. If a player lands on a ladder, they move up to the square it's connected to, and if they land on a snake, they move down. The winner is the first player to reach the last square on the board. **ACTIVITY 13** **Step 1: Introduction** The teacher began the lesson by introducing the game and explaining its relevance to the mathematical concepts they were learning. They provided a brief overview of the game rules and objectives and engaged the children by asking questions about their prior knowledge of snakes and ladders. **Step 2: Core (playing the game) (2)** The children were divided into small groups, each provided with a game board, dice, and pieces. The teacher monitored the groups, ensuring everyone followed the rules and assisting with any difficulties. The students took turns rolling the dice, counting their moves, and experiencing the ups and downs of the game through the ladders and snakes. *Add a photograph of learners taking part in the game. (Remember, learners' faces must not be visible in the picture.) (1)* **Step 3: Conclusion of the lesson (end of game) (1)** At the end of the game, the teacher gathered the children to discuss their experiences and reflect on what they learned. The teacher reinforced the mathematical concepts encountered during the game and praised the students for their participation and teamwork. **REFLECTION** **In what way was the lesson successful?** The lesson was successful in actively engaging the children and making learning mathematical concepts fun and interactive. The students were enthusiastic, participated eagerly, and demonstrated joy in learning through play. **Were the lesson outcomes achieved?** Yes, the lesson outcomes were achieved as the children demonstrated competency in counting, number recognition, and basic arithmetic operations by the end of the game. **What will you do differently if you have to repeat the lesson?** If repeating the lesson, I would introduce variations in the game to challenge advanced learners more and ensure that each group has a facilitator to help keep the game flowing smoothly. Additionally, I might introduce a debrief session where each child shares what they learned. **MENTOR TEACHER'S REPORT** (Here the mentor teacher would provide their observations and feedback regarding your performance during the lesson, highlighting the aspects that were done well, and suggesting improvements if necessary.)
