Mathematics - Term 4 - Week 3

Today, we will learn about numbers! Numbers are symbols that help us count and understand how many things we have. For example, if you have three apples, the number '3' tells us how many apples there are. We will practice recognizing numbers and counting objects around us.

Let's count some objects together! I have five blocks on the table. One, two, three, four, five! We can write this as the number '5'. Now, if I take away one block, how many do we have left? Let's count again: one, two, three, four! That’s four blocks. We can write this as '4'.

Now, let's work together! I will place different groups of objects on the table. I want you to help me count them. First, we have a group of 6 crayons. How many crayons do we have? Count with me: one, two, three, four, five, six! Great job! Now, let’s try with a group of 3 toy cars. Count them out loud with me.

For your independent practice, I have a fun game for you! You will receive a worksheet with pictures of objects and numbers. Your task is to draw a line from the number to the correct group of objects. For example, if you see the number '2', you should match it to the group of two stars. Take your time and remember to count carefully!
