Mathematics - Term 1 - Week 9

Today, we will start by counting from 1 to 20. We will use our fingers, count objects in the classroom, and sing counting songs. This will help us understand how numbers work and how to recognize them in our everyday lives.

Let's look at some colored blocks. If I have a red block, a blue block, and a red block again, what pattern do I see? Yes, it is red, blue, red! Now, I will show you how to create your own pattern using different colored blocks. You can choose any colors you like, but remember to repeat them in a sequence.

Now, let's practice counting together. I will hold up a number of apples, and you will tell me how many there are. After that, we will compare two groups of objects. For example, if I have 5 apples and you have 3 oranges, which group has more? Let's count together to find out!

For your independent practice, you will receive a set of colored beads. Your task is to create your own pattern using at least three different colors. Once you finish, share your pattern with a friend and see if they can guess the sequence. This will help you understand patterns better!

• 4
• 6
• 7
• 5

Answer: 6

The number that comes after 5 is 6.

• Red, Blue, Red
• Red, Green, Yellow
• Blue, Blue, Blue

Answer: Red, Blue, Red

A pattern repeats a sequence, and 'Red, Blue, Red' shows a clear repetition.

Answer: 5

Each hand has 5 fingers.

• 3 apples
• 5 oranges
• They are equal
• None

Answer: 5 oranges

5 is greater than 3, so 5 oranges is more.

Answer: 1

The counting sequence starts at 1.

• Yellow, Green, Yellow
• Green, Yellow, Green
• Yellow, Yellow, Green

Answer: Yellow, Green, Yellow

The pattern repeats 'Yellow' and 'Green' in that order.

• I have less
• You have less
• We have the same
• None

Answer: I have less

2 is less than 3, so I have less.

Answer: Using colors or shapes.

Patterns can be created using various elements like colors or shapes.
