Detailed Lesson Plan in Math Grade 4

(Process Method)

I.Behavioral Objectives: At the end of the lesson, 90% of the pupils are expected to:
1. Recognize the highest to lowest value of numbers.
2. Calculate the estimated result of numbers.
3. Differentiate the sum and the difference estimated value
4. Solve the problem step by step.
II. Subject Matter: Estimation of Sum and Difference Reference: Soaring 21st Century Mathematics Grade 4 pp.
46-51
Instructional Materials: PowerPoint, Flash Cards
III. Procedures
TEACHER’S ACTIVITY STUDENT’S ACTIVITY
A. Preliminary Activities
1. Drill : Subtracting multi-digit number Contest of 3 students
 Three volunteer students will be competing 1.) 1458 2.) 5432 3.) 7643 4.) 234
to answer the given equations. -45 -341 -35 -14
 Teacher will show equations on the For the first item, Nicole raised her hand to answer, the
powerpoint slides, the first one to raised answer for number 1 is, 1413
their hand will answer For the second item Ailyn was the first to raised hand, the
answer for number 2 is, 5019
For the third item, Bryan raised hand, the answer for
number 3 is, 7608
For the last item, Nicole raised her hand again, the answer
for number 4 is, 220.
B.Lesson Proper
1. Motivation
 Think of a number that’s in its thousands  5,123
place.  7,432
 Think of a number that in its hundreds  492
place  675
2. Unlocking of Difficulties
 Illustration of estimated sum and
difference.
 Estimate the sum of 49 695 and 32 492 49 695 50 000
+ 32 492 +30 000
80 000 estimated sum
 Estimate the difference between 7 296 132
and 4 985 635. 7 296 132 7 000 000
 4 985 635 -5 000 000
2 000 000 estimated difference
 How to get the estimated sum? To estimate the sum we round-off each number to the
nearest tens and then add the rounded-off numbers. 
 How to get the estimated difference? To estimate the difference, we round-off each number to
the nearest tens and then subtract the rounded-off
numbers.
 3. Motive Question (Students read orally the motive question)
Read the question on the powerpoint slide.  What are the steps to be followed in estimating
sum?
 What are the steps to be followed in estimating
difference?
4. Presentation of New Lesson
Estimating sum (pupils/s write the given numbers on the board)
 Step 1 – Write the given numbers. Example 1
Who wants to write the given numbers on
the board? 4 4 9 8
3 8 6 5

 Step 2 - Add the digits of the two highest 4 4 9 8

place values 3 8 6 5
8 2

 Step 3 - Attach zeroes for the other place 4 4 9 8

values. 3 8 6 5
8 2 0 0

The estimated sum is 8200. The exact sum is 8363

Estimating difference (pupils/s write the given numbers on the board)

 Step 1 –Write the given numbers. 8 4 6 9
Who wants to write the given numbers on _ 5 2 4 5
the board? 3 2 0 0
 Step 2 – Take the difference of the two
highest place values. The estimated difference is 3200. The exact difference is
 Step 3 – attach zeroes for the other place 3224.
values.
5. Enrichment Activity #1 Seatwork (Students will answer the given equation in the flashed
cards )

1. Enrichment activity #2 (example of students word problem and equation)
Write and solve your own word problem. There were 5,989 males and 9,134 females who watched
a charity concert. About how many people watched the
concert? About how many more females watched the
concert than males?
To find out the approximate number of people 5989 6000
who watched the concert, we will estimate the + 9134 9000
sum.
Round off the numbers to their highest place 5989 6000
values and add. + 9134 9000
15000 estimated number of audience
2. Valuing Process Sample of students answer
Why do we need to study how to estimate sum Student 1: It encourages children to have a good
and difference? understanding of the magnitude of numbers rather than
overly relying on mathematical procedures to achieve an
answer.

What is the main purpose if estimation?
IV. Assessment/ Evaluation Technique
 Copy and answer the question.
V. Assignment
Copy and Answer. Let’s work together, letter B.

Student 2: To ascertain the necessary amount of money
required by the owner to complete the proposed project.
This season, a farmer estimates that his banana crop will
need 68,187 liters of water. He also estimates that his
mango crop will need 91,456 liters. In all, about how many
liters of water should the farmer plan to use?
