  • Students will be able to identify missing numbers in a sequence from 30 to 39.

Educator Instructions

  • Introduction (5 mins)
    Begin by asking students if they know how to count to 30. Briefly review counting to 30. Introduce the video and explain that they will be learning to count from 30 to 39, just like in a fun hopscotch game!
  • Video Viewing (5 mins)
    Play the video 'Learn Grade 1 - Maths - Practicing 30 to 39'. Encourage students to count along with the characters in the video.
  • Forward Counting Practice (5 mins)
    After the video, practice counting forward from 30 to 39 as a class. Use hand motions or visual aids (like a number line) to help students follow along.
  • Backward Counting Practice (5 mins)
    Now, practice counting backward from 39 to 30 as a class. This may be more challenging for some students, so provide extra support and encouragement.
  • Missing Number Activity (10 mins)
    Write a number sequence on the board with some numbers missing (e.g., 31, __, 33, __, 35). Have students fill in the missing numbers. Do several examples, varying the missing numbers. Use interactive exercises to reinforce learning.

Interactive Exercises

  • Number Line Hop
    Create a number line on the floor with numbers 30 to 39. Have students hop along the number line as they count forward and backward. You can also call out a number and have them hop to that number.
