Advantages
Unit plan breaks up a lengthy unit into smaller sub-
units or topics so that pupils can easily grasp the scope
of these during a brief overview.
It provides frequent opportunities for the students to
review and reorganize their learning.
It helps the teacher to plan definite outcomes of
learning so that they are clear not only to the teacher,
but also to the students.
It enables the pupils to see clearly the relationship
between the various facts, processes and principles
that make up the unit.
Lesson Plan

The teaching techniques to be used by the teacher
should be clearly explained in the lesson plan.
Evaluation the attainment of the stated objectives.

Functions of a Good Lesson Plan in Mathematics
Lesson planning makes the teachers work more regular,
organised and systematic.
It delimits the teachers field of work and thus enables him
to define his aims and objectives more clearly.
It forces consideration of goals and objectives, the
selection of subject matter, the selection of procedure, the
planning of activities and the planning of evaluation
devices.
It prevents waste of time, as every step has been planned
with forethought. Unnecessary repetition is thus avoided.
It enhances self-confidence of the teacher as it paves the
way for the teacher to enter the class without anxiety.
Important Features of a Good Lesson Plan
A good lesson plan should have certain important
characteristics.

specific should be stated clearly in the lesson plan.
A good lesson plan should outline in detail the various
steps that the teacher proposes to take in the class.
A good lesson plan should not remain at the oral or
mental stage, it should be preferably written.
A good lesson plan should have its basis on the
previous knowledge and experience of the learner and
the present knowledge should be well integrated with
the previous knowledge.
Steps in Preparing Lesson Plan
Herbartian approach to lesson planning involves the
following steps. They are
Preparation or Introduction
Presentation
Comparison or Association
Generalization
Application
Recapitulation
