Mathematics - Term 1 - Week 6

Today, we will learn about the numbers from 1 to 10. We will look at how these numbers are written and what they look like. Each number represents a quantity. For example, the number 1 means one item, and the number 2 means two items. We will use our fingers and objects in the classroom to help us understand these numbers better.

Let’s count some objects together! I have 5 blocks here. Let’s count them one by one: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Now, if I add 3 more blocks, how many do we have in total? Let’s count again: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. So, 5 plus 3 equals 8. This shows how we can use numbers to count and add.

Now, let’s work together! I will place different objects on the table. I want you to count how many there are and tell me the number. For example, if I have 4 apples, you will say '4'. After that, we will write the number on the board together. This will help you practice both counting and writing the numbers.

For your independent practice, I want you to take a worksheet that has numbers from 1 to 10. Your task is to trace each number and then draw a line to match the number with the correct number of objects. For example, if you see the number 3, you should draw a line to a picture that shows three stars. This will help you connect the number with its quantity.
