Mathematics - Term 3 - Week 1

Today, we will start by counting together from 1 to 20. I will use my fingers to show the numbers as we count aloud. After we count, we will play a game where I will say a number, and you will show me that many fingers. This will help us practice our counting skills and understand how numbers represent quantities.

Let's look at some colored blocks. I have a red block, a blue block, and a yellow block. I will arrange them in a pattern: red, blue, red, blue. Can you see the pattern? Now, I will ask you to continue the pattern by adding the next two blocks. This will help you understand how patterns work and how to recognize them.

Now, let's do an activity with two groups of objects. I have 5 apples in one group and 3 apples in another. I will ask you which group has more apples and which has less. We will count the apples together to see. After that, I will give you a chance to create your own groups of objects and tell your partner which group has more or less.

For our independent practice, you will receive colored paper circles. Your task is to create your own pattern using at least three different colors. Once you have created your pattern, you will share it with a friend and explain what your pattern is. This will help you practice both your creativity and your understanding of patterns.
