Mathematics - Term 4 - Week 6

Today, we will learn about numbers from 1 to 10. Numbers are symbols that help us count and measure things. We will practice recognizing these numbers and writing them. Let's start by counting objects in our classroom, like chairs, tables, and books. As we count, we will say each number out loud together.

Let’s look at a simple addition problem. If we have 2 apples and we add 3 more apples, how many apples do we have in total? We can use our fingers or draw the apples. If we count 1, 2 for the first two apples and then count 3, 4, 5 for the next three apples, we find that 2 + 3 = 5. This is how we can use addition to find out how many we have altogether.

Now, let’s practice together! I will show you a picture of 4 stars. Can you count them with me? 1, 2, 3, 4! Great! Now, if I add 2 more stars, how many stars do we have? Let’s count them all together: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6! So, 4 + 2 = 6. Let’s try another example with different objects.

Now it’s your turn! I want you to take some counters or blocks from your desk. First, count out 3 blocks. Then, add 2 more blocks to your pile. How many blocks do you have now? Write down the number you counted. Remember to count carefully and check your work with a friend!
