Mathematics - Term 1 - Week 5

Today, we will learn about numbers! Numbers are symbols we use to represent quantities. For example, the number '1' represents one object, while '2' represents two objects. We will practice recognizing these numbers and writing them down. Let's start by looking at some flashcards with numbers from 1 to 10.

Let's count some objects together! I have a basket with 5 apples. Can anyone tell me how many apples are in the basket? (Pause for responses.) That's right! There are 5 apples. Now, if I add 2 more apples, how many do we have? Let's count them together: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7! So, we have 7 apples now.

Now, let's work in groups. Each group will receive a set of objects, such as blocks or counters. I want you to count how many objects you have in your group. Once you have counted, write the number down on your paper. After that, we will share our counts with the class. Remember to check if your count is correct!

For your independent practice, you will complete a worksheet where you will match numbers to groups of objects. There will be pictures of different quantities, and you need to draw a line from the number to the correct group of objects. This will help you practice recognizing numbers and understanding how many objects each number represents.
