PP1 Curriculum Design: sub strand 1.3 Ordering
Specific Learning Outcomes
By the end of the sub-strand, the learner should be able to:
a) collect and identify different objects in their environment for exploration and enjoyment
b) differentiate objects of different sizes in the environment
c) use appropriate vocabulary related to ordering for effective communication
d) arrange objects according to size in ascending order up to 3 objects for
making comparison of objects of different sizes
e) arrange objects according to size in descending order up to 3 objects for making comparison of objects of different sizes
f) organize different objects in the environment
g) appreciate different objects or materials in the environment.
Suggested Learning Experiences
• Learners talk about different objects in the environment.
• Learners to demonstrate ordering objects according to size or height up to 3 objects.
• A few learners demonstrate ordering objects according to size or height.
• Learners in small groups/pairs, individually arrange objects according to size or height up to 3.
• In groups learners compare objects of different sizes up to three.
• Learners to draw big and small objects using ICT devices.
• Learners to arrange objects in ascending and descending order using ICT devices.
Key Inquiry Questions
- Which objects are (shorter, taller, smaller, bigger)?
- Which among these two objects is longer?
- Which among these two objects is shorter?
Core competence: Critical thinking and problem solving (shown when ordering different objects) Communication and collaboration (when ordering in groups and talking)
Link to PCIs:
- Citizenship: collaboration and communication during ordering of objects,• Life skills: problem solving and critical thinking during the ordering of objects
- Values: sharing and turn taking during ordering of objects.
Link to other activity areas:Psychomotor and Creative Activities.
Suggested Community service: – non-formal activity to support learning through application: Recycling of waste materials from community to be used for learning and Cleaning the environment after use of materials.
Suggested Learning Resources: Sticks, blocks, bottles,
