Mathematics - Term 4 - 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. Let’s look at some examples: 1 is one apple, 2 is two apples, and so on. We can write these numbers and also count objects around us.

Let’s count some objects together. I have 3 blocks in front of me. One, two, three! That’s 3 blocks. Now, let’s write the number 3 on the board. Can anyone tell me how many blocks we have? Yes, we have 3 blocks! This shows how numbers represent quantities.

Now, let’s work together! I will place 5 toy cars on the table. As a class, we will count them out loud: one, two, three, four, five! After counting, I will ask each of you to write the number 5 on your paper. Then, we will discuss how many cars are more than 3 and how many are less than 5.

For your independent practice, I want you to find 7 small items from your desk, like pencils or erasers. Count them carefully and write the number down on your worksheet. After that, draw a line connecting the number to a picture of the items you counted. This will help you see how numbers relate to the things around you.
