Key Concepts

  • Number recognition (6-10)
  • Number writing (6-10)
  • Counting quantities up to 10

Learning Objectives

  • Students will be able to correctly write the numbers 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10.
  • Students will be able to count and identify quantities of objects corresponding to the numbers 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10.

Educator Instructions

  • Introduction (5 mins)
    Begin by reviewing numbers 1-5. Ask students to count objects in the classroom (e.g., 'How many pencils are on the table?'). Introduce the video and explain that they will be learning to write new numbers today.
  • Video Viewing (7 mins)
    Play the video 'Learn Grade 1 - Maths - Writing 6 To 10 Numbers'. Encourage students to follow along and practice writing the numbers in the air or on a whiteboard.
  • Guided Practice (10 mins)
    After the video, write the numbers 6-10 on the board. Guide students through the process of writing each number, emphasizing the direction of the strokes (as shown in the video). Use visual aids like dots or arrows to indicate where to start and which direction to move the pencil.
  • Independent Practice (10 mins)
    Provide students with worksheets or notebooks to practice writing the numbers 6-10 independently. Encourage them to draw pictures representing each number (e.g., six circles for the number 6).
  • Wrap-up (3 mins)
    Review the numbers 6-10 as a class. Ask students to hold up fingers to show each number. Play a quick game like 'Simon Says' using numbers 6-10 (e.g., 'Simon says show me 7 fingers!').

Interactive Exercises

  • Counting Game
    Provide students with small objects like counters, blocks, or crayons. Call out a number between 6 and 10 and have students count out that many objects. Verify their counting and provide assistance as needed.
  • Number Writing Relay
    Divide the class into teams. Write numbers 6-10 on separate pieces of paper and place them at the front of the room. Have one student from each team run to the front, choose a number, and write it on the board. The first team to correctly write all numbers wins.
