Step 5: Allocate homework (5 minutes): This is the fifth and final activity of
the lesson. In this step you should tell the learners about the homework for the
day and make sure they know what is expected of them and understand what
it is that they have to do.

For homework, you can select a few questions from the daily classwork in
their Learners Book and ask the learners to complete them at home, or ask
them to do part or all of a DBE worksheet. Homework enables the learners
to consolidate the mathematics that you have taught them in class. It also
promotes learner writing and development of mathematical knowledge, and
the development of regular study habits. Encourage your learners to show
their parent(s) or their guardian(s) the work they have done. When you can,
take in homework books to check the work, and always allow some time in the
next lesson to go through the homework with the learners to check that the
work has been understood.

5. After each lesson, reflect on how it went: Each week there is a reminder to you
that you should note your thoughts about the weeks lesson. You will use these
notes as you plan and prepare for your teaching.

think about things such as:
Was your preparation for the lesson adequate? For instance, did you have all
the necessary resources? Had you thought through the content so that you
