Educator Instructions

  • Introduction (5 mins)
    Begin by showing the video 'Learn Grade 1 - Maths - Writing Numbers 1 to 10 Vertically'. Ask students what they think the video will be about. After watching, ask them what they learned.
  • Number Writing Practice (15 mins)
    1. Guide students in writing the numbers 1 through 10 vertically on a whiteboard or paper, mirroring the video's technique. Emphasize the correct formation of each number. 2. As you write each number, say it aloud and spell it out (e.g., 'One, O-N-E'). Have the students repeat after you. 3. Encourage students to practice writing each number multiple times. Circulate to provide individual assistance.
  • Counting Activity (10 mins)
    1. Use objects like blocks, crayons, or even drawings of animals. Arrange different quantities of objects (1 to 10) on a table or project them on the board. 2. Ask students to count the objects in each group and write the corresponding number vertically below the objects. You can also have them spell out the number. 3. Review the answers together as a class.
  • Wrap-up (5 mins)
    Review the numbers 1-10 by having students say each number aloud. Ask them what they learned in the lesson. Remind them to practice writing their numbers at home.

Interactive Exercises

  • Number Matching Game
    Create cards with the numerals 1-10 and separate cards with pictures representing those quantities (e.g., one apple, two cars, etc.). Students match the numeral card to the correct picture card.
  • Number Writing Relay Race
    Divide the class into teams. Each team gets a whiteboard or large paper. Call out a number. The first student from each team writes the number vertically, then passes the marker to the next student, who writes the next number you call out, and so on. The first team to correctly write all numbers in order wins.
