Mathematics - Term 2 - Week 1

Numbers are symbols that represent quantities. In this lesson, we will focus on the numbers from 1 to 10. Each number corresponds to a specific amount of objects. For example, the number 1 represents one apple, while the number 3 represents three apples. We will learn to count these objects and recognize their corresponding numbers.

Let's count together! I have a basket with 5 oranges. If I take one orange out, how many are left? Let's count: 5, 4. That's right! There are 4 oranges left. This shows us how we can use numbers to represent how many objects we have.

Now, let's practice counting using our fingers. Hold up 3 fingers. Can anyone tell me what number this is? Yes, it's 3! Let's try another one. Hold up 7 fingers. How many fingers do you see? Great job! It's 7. We will continue practicing until everyone feels confident with their counting.

For independent practice, each learner will receive a worksheet with pictures of objects and numbers. Your task is to match the number to the correct group of objects. For example, if you see the number 2, you should draw a line to the group of 2 stars. Take your time and remember to count carefully!
