5. Introduce the use of complementary numbers. In the case
of 5, use two groups of complementary numbers 4 & 1
and 3 & 2. In the case of 10, use five groups of
complementary numbers 9 & 1, 8 & 2, 7 & 3, 6 & 4,
and 5 & 5. Demonstrate this concept on the overhead
projector and have students practice moving beads with
their soroban.
6. In the third lesson, review the previous lessons and the
students will practice addition and subtractions by having
a volunteer to create a number problem for the class to
solve on soroban. As you work together, have students to
imagine a soroban and practice computing mentally after
each calculation.
Expansion/Application
Activities:
Add 123456789 , nine times , to get 1111111101 . Then, add
123456789 nine more times to 1111111101 and obtain
2222222202 . This practice is done before each lesson to practice
the concept of complement numbers and addition.
Assessment: (How have you
identified measurable results
that let you know whether your
students have mastered the
objective(s)?
The teacher observation and worksheet will be used to assess
students mastery of the objectives.
Reflection: (How well did the
lesson work in the procedures?
What might you change?)
The lesson moved very smoothly. Only a couple of students had a
problem moving beads. Complementary numbers were hard for
some students to understand, but repeated practice made it easier
for them to understand the concept.
