may use this activity to use for constructing a “Trial Balance”

Duration: 5 mins

Exploration:

After the students are fully engaged and ready to proceed with the day’s lesson, they will undergo a little

introduction into the lesson. After the introduction has been made, they will be required to tap into their

prerequisite knowledge on “Balancing Off Accounts”. Students will be given the term “Trial Balance”, and

will be expected to do some research in their school textbooks, or on their phones to look for the term (Trial

Balance). After they have done that small research, they will be asked to share what they have learnt. The

students then will be given an activity to finish within a specific time. This activity will be used as an

example to construct a “Trial Balance”.

Duration: 10 mins

required to engage in a class discussion with their responses. Following the discussion, learners provided

with feedback, clarification (if any) and additional information regarding the topic.
