Mathematics - Term 3 - Week 9

Today, we will learn about numbers! Numbers are symbols that represent quantities. For example, the number '1' means one item, and the number '2' means two items. We will practice recognizing numbers and counting objects around us. Let's start by looking at some flashcards with numbers from 1 to 10.

Let's count some apples together! I have a basket with 5 apples. We will take one apple out at a time and count them. One, two, three, four, five! Now, if I take away two apples, how many do we have left? Let's count again: one, two, three! So, we have 3 apples left. This shows us how we can count and understand how many items we have.

Now, let's work in groups. Each group will receive a set of objects, such as blocks or buttons. Your task is to count how many objects you have and write the number down on your paper. After counting, we will share our numbers with the class. Remember to count carefully and check your work!

For independent practice, you will play a number matching game. You will have cards with numbers and cards with pictures of objects. Your job is to match the number card with the correct picture card that shows the same quantity. For example, if you have the number '4', you should find the card with four stars. This will help you practice recognizing numbers and counting!
