Mathematics - Term 2 - Week 8

Today, we will learn about numbers! Numbers are symbols that help us count and measure things. We will focus on the numbers from 1 to 10. Each number represents a quantity. For example, the number 3 means there are three objects. Let's look at some examples together!

Let's count some objects together! I have 4 apples on the table. Can anyone tell me how many apples there are? (Pause for responses) That's right! There are 4 apples. Now, let's write the number 4 on the board. Remember, when we count, we say each number as we point to each apple: one, two, three, four!

Now, let's work in groups. Each group will receive a set of objects, like blocks or buttons. I want you to count how many objects you have in your group. Once you have counted, write the number on a piece of paper. Then, we will share our counts with the class. Remember to count carefully and check your number!

For your independent practice, you will play a number matching game. You will have cards with numbers and cards with pictures of objects. Your task is to match the number card with the correct picture card. For example, if you have the number 5, you should find the card with 5 stars. This will help you understand how numbers relate to quantities!
