Sample Weekly Learner Plan

What a Weekly Learner Plan looks like: one subject for one week, with every lesson planned in three phases.

Illustrative example. TeacherPaddy wrote this sample to show the structure of a Weekly Learner Plan. It is not a real teacher's plan, and it is not an official NaCCA or GES document. A real plan uses the curriculum's own indicators and codes for your class.

DayPhase 1: StarterPhase 2: Main (new learning and assessment)Phase 3: Reflection
MondayFold a paper strip into halves, then quarters. Learners say which piece is bigger and why.In pairs, learners use fraction strips to compare fractions with the same denominator (for example, three-eighths and five-eighths) and record each comparison with < or >. The teacher checks pairs and asks them to explain their answer.Learners explain in one sentence how to compare fractions with the same denominator.
TuesdayQuick recall: name a fraction equivalent to one-half.Learners compare fractions with related denominators (halves, quarters and eighths) by lining up strips, then change one fraction into an equivalent one to compare them. Short written task for assessment.Learners share one comparison they found difficult and how they solved it.
ThursdayLearners place one-half and one-quarter on a number line drawn on the board.In groups, learners order sets of three or four fractions on a number line and justify the order to the class. Groups that finish early make their own set for another group.Learners say what the number line shows about the size of fractions.
FridayFraction 'greater or less' game with cards.Word problems from everyday life (sharing food, measuring cloth) where learners compare and order fractions. Individual exercise for assessment.Self-check: learners mark one example and say what they will practise next week. Homework: two comparison problems.

How to read this plan

  • The heading ties the week to the curriculum: strand, focus, indicator and what learners should be able to do by the end of the week.
  • Four lessons, not five. This sample class has Mathematics on four days, so Wednesday has no Mathematics lesson. A plan follows the timetable.
  • Three phases in every lesson: a short starter to prepare learners, the main new learning with assessment built in, and a reflection.
  • Assessment happens during the week (Tuesday's written task and Friday's exercise), so the teacher knows who needs more help before moving on.

How TeacherPaddy makes a weekly plan

You choose the week, the subjects and the indicators to teach. TeacherPaddy drafts the lessons for the days each subject is on your timetable, using your class size and school details, and checks the plan before saving it. You can edit every part, and download the plan as a PDF. One subject's plan for one week uses one planning credit, and your first one is free; see pricing.

This week comes from week 8 of the sample Scheme of Learning. To plan a week yourself, read how to plan a teaching week.
