LESSON PLAN

Subject : Mathematics
Class : 9Th
Time: 35 minutes
Topic: NUMBER SYSTEM
Sub Topic : Rational Numbers
General Objectives:

 Upon the completion of this lesson the students will be

able:

1. To develop logical reasoning & creativity.

2. To use the acquired knowledge in daily life.

 Specific Objectives:
 At the end of the lesson the students will be able
 1 To know about Natural/Whole/Integers/Rational
numbers.
 2. To differentiate these numbers.
 3. To find rational numbers between these numbers on
number line.
Material required:
Pictures, measuring scale, chart, computer,
OHP,internet connection,white board & marker as per
availability.
 P K Testing :
The teacher will draw a number line on white board
/computer & will ask the following questions:

 Q1: What do you mean by these(1,2,3,…) numbers?

 Expected answer: These are natural numbers.
 Q2: Define natural numbers ?
 Expected answer: The numbers used for counting are
called natural numbers.
 Q3: If we add two natural numbers(i.e.3+5=8) then what
number we will get?
 Expected answer: 8 (natural number).
 Q4: If we subtract two same natural numbers(i.e. 5-5=0)
then what number we will get?
 Expected answer: 0(whole number).
 Q5: Define whole numbers?
 Expected answer: All natural numbers including zero
(0,1,2,3,4,5…) are called whole numbers.
 Q6: If we subtract two different natural numbers (4-7=-
3) then what number we will get?
 Expected answer: -3 (Integers).
 Q7: Can you define Integers?
 Expected answer: …-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,… (as on number
line) are called Integers.
Lesson launch:
 Teacher will launch the lesson with the help of number
line by active participation of students (Discussion
method).
 Teacher : Can you find any number /numbers between
two consecutive integers (Teacher also explain that all
natural numbers are whole numbers & all whole
numbers are integers but converse is not true in both
cases).
 Students: May or may not answer.
 Teacher: With the help of number line ask the students
to find the mean of two consecutive integers (e.g. 0 &
1,2&3, -3& -4and so on ).
 Students: 0+1/2=1/2,2+3/2=5/2,-3+(-4)/2=-7/2
 Teacher:So we have seen that ½ lies between 0 &1, 5/2
lies between 2&3, -7/2 lies between -3&-4. Can we mark
these numbers on the number line.
 Students: May or may not answer.
 Teacher will explain that these numbers can be plotted
on the number line. Such type of numbers are called
rational numbers.

 Teacher will now give the definition of rational numbers.

The numbers of the form p/q,where p &q are integers &
q 0 are called rational numbers(e.g. 4/5,6/7,-3/2 ,7/-8 ,-
5/1,0/1 etc.). We can also find rational numbers between
two numbers (Integers & rational numbers) by finding
their mean.
 Teacher : You can convert rational numbers (1/2,1/3,-7/2
etc.)into decimal forms. Teacher also explain the
terminating(remainder zero) & non-terminating recurring
(remainder not zero) decimal.
 Teacher: ½=0.5(Terminating decimal),
 1/3=0.333…=0.3 (Non-terminating recurring decimal).
 -7/2=-3.5(Terminating decimal).
 Teacher: Now we will give the defination of rational numbers
on the basis of decimal form as:
 The numbers whose decimal expansion is either terminating
or non-terminating recurring are called rational numbers.
Teacher will also locate these rational numbers (in decimal form) on number line.
Teachers with the help of this diagram explain that all
natural numers are whole numbers, Integers and also
rational numbers.Similarly all whole numbers are Integers
as well as Rational numbers. In the same way all the Integers
are Rational numbers. But the converse in all the cases is not
true.
Group Formations:
 Teacher will divide the whole class into four or five
groups as per the size of class. Leader of each group
after discussion(5-8 minutes) with group members will
represent the allotted assignments in class room.
 Group1:Write ten rational numbers in the form of
p/q,q 0 where p&q are integers.
 Group2:Write five rational numbers between 3&4.
 Group3:36/100, 1/11, 13/8,3/13,2/11. Check the decimal
expansion of these rational numbers (terminating &
non-terminating recurring decimal )
Group4: Find five rational numbers between 2/7& 3/7.
Group5: Write true/false. Give reason.

1: Every natural number is a whole number.

2:Every whole number is an integer.
3: Every rational number is a whole number.
4: Is zero(o) a rational number?
5: Is 2/0 a rational number?
6: Are positive integers natural numbers?
Home Assignment:
 Q1: Write any ten rational numbers( p/q form where
p&q are integers and q=/0).
 Q2: Write ten rational numbers in decimal form.
 Q3: Is 1.01001000100001000001… rational number? Give
reason.
 Q4:Give examples of rational numbers from daily life.
 Q5: Solve the Exercise 1.1 of Text Book.
