LANGUAGE FOCUS – ROUND 1 (P.8) PURPOSE – TO LEARN HOW TO SAY 4 BASIC ARITHMETIC OPERATIONS Math OperationsHow to Read ? = 12Ten plus two equals twelve 10 – 2 = 8Ten minus two equals eight 10 × 2 = 20Ten times two equals twenty 10 ÷ 2 = 5Ten divided by two equals five

LANGUAGE FOCUS – ROUND 2 (P.8) PURPOSE – TO LEARN HOW TO SAY 4 BASIC ARITHMETIC OPERATIONS Math OperationsHow to Read ? = 12The sum of ten and two is twelve. 10 – 2 = 8The difference of ten and two is eight. 10 × 2 = 20The product of ten and two is twenty. 10 ÷ 2 = 5The quotient of ten and two is five.

HOW TO PLAY? 1 minute to review. Each student should get 1 card. Write down 1 operation for each of the four basic arithmetic operations (+, –, ×, ÷). Don’t give answers. The numbers in your question should not more than 2 digits. The numbers in both questions and answers should be integers (positive or negative) (ex: 1 or -1). With your card, find a partner play Paper Scissors Stone. The winner should (a) listen and check; (b) count the time. The loser should read and answer the questions within 30 seconds. If you make it, keep the card. If you fail, give all the card(s) you have to the winner; Line up after the winner. 25 ＋ 6 = (-8) － 12 = 16 × 10 = 99 ÷ 9 = 25 ＋ 6 = (-8) － 12 = 16 × 10 = 99 ÷ 9 =

YOUR TURN! Each student should line up, come to stage and present the converting process. You must: Hold the microphone. Write down the process on the board while speaking. Follow the steps or use your own way to express the converting process. Remember right now you are a math teacher, your job is to Let Your Students Understand, so Be Specific! Each one of you should have only 1 minute to complete your talk. If you can’t complete within 1 minute, line up again until you succeed.

DISTRIBUTE THE CARDS Each one of you should get 1 card. Please write down the following sentence to make your own question: How to convert ______________ into ______________? Fold into an airplane. Shoot in any direction. Pick up 1 airplane.

DISTRIBUTE THE CARDS The number shows the order of your talk. The topic shows the mixed number you need to convert into its improper fraction in your short report. When it’s your turn, hand in the card and I’ll write comments on it.

NOW IT’S YOUR TURN!! 3~4 people in a group. Each group get 1 envelope with your question in it. Present how to solve the question.
