Mathematics - Term 2 - Week 5

Today, we will learn about numbers! Numbers are symbols that represent quantities. For example, the number '1' represents one object, while '2' represents two objects. We will focus on the numbers from 1 to 10. Let's look at some examples together. Can anyone tell me how many fingers are on one hand? That's right, 5! Now, let's count together from 1 to 10.

Let's practice counting objects. I have a basket with 3 apples. Let's count them together: 1 apple, 2 apples, 3 apples. Now, if I add 2 more apples, how many do we have in total? Let's count again: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5! So, we have 5 apples now. This shows how we can add to our count.

Now, let's do a fun counting activity as a class. I will place different objects on the table, such as blocks and toys. I will ask each of you to come up and count how many objects are there. Remember to say the numbers out loud as you count. After counting, we will discuss which group has more objects and which has less.

For your independent practice, you will receive a counting worksheet. On this worksheet, you will see pictures of different objects. Your task is to count how many of each object there are and write the correct number next to each picture. Make sure to check your work with a partner once you are done!
