Magical Numbers Adventure

Curriculum Area and Level

  • Area: Mathematics (Number)
  • Level: EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) KS2 students

Learning Objectives

  1. Recognise Numbers: Students will be able to recognise numbers 1-10.
  2. Count Objects: Students will be able to count up to 10 objects accurately.
  3. Number Formation: Students will practise writing numbers 1-10.
  4. Understand Number Value: Students will understand the concept of quantity associated with each number from 1 to 10.

Resources Needed

  • Number flashcards (1-10)
  • Mini whiteboards and markers
  • Counting objects (such as toy animals, blocks, or counters)
  • Number formation worksheets
  • Stickers or stamps for rewards
  • A large number mat (1-10) on the floor

Detailed Plan

Introduction (5 minutes)

  1. Welcome and Warm-Up: Begin with a fun number song, such as "Ten Little Numbers" to get the students excited.
  2. Objective Overview: Briefly explain what they will learn today – recognising numbers, counting objects, and writing numbers.

Main Activity (20 minutes)

Recognition and Counting (10 minutes)

  1. Number Flashcards Game: Use number flashcards (1-10). Show a flashcard, and ask the students to shout out the number. Then, using the large number mat, have one student at a time find the corresponding number on the mat and stand on it.
  2. Counting Objects: Distribute counting objects to each student. Ask them to count a specific number of objects (1-10). For example, "Can you give me 5 blocks?" Observe and assist as necessary.

Number Formation (10 minutes)

  1. Whiteboard Practice: Hand out mini whiteboards and markers. Demonstrate how to write numbers 1-10 on a large whiteboard. Ask students to copy the numbers on their mini boards. Walk around to provide individual guidance.
  2. Individual Worksheet: Give each student a worksheet with dotted numbers (1-10) to trace. Encourage them to trace each number carefully. Reward effort with stickers or stamps.

Conclusion (5 minutes)

  1. Review and Recap: Gather the students in a circle. Go over the numbers 1-10 again using the flashcards. Encourage students to participate by holding up the correct number of fingers or standing on the number mat.
  2. Celebrate Achievements: Praise the students for their hard work and participation. Hand out a small certificate or sticker for each student to take home, celebrating their counting and number-writing efforts.

Differentiation

  • For Advanced Learners: Introduce simple addition and subtraction using the counting objects.
  • For Struggling Learners: Provide additional one-on-one support during the counting and number formation activities. Use larger, more tactile objects for counting.

Assessment

  • Observe students during activities for understanding and engagement.
  • Review their whiteboard and worksheet to ensure proper number formation.
  • Informal questioning during activities to gauge individual comprehension.

Reflection

  • Teacher's Notes: After the lesson, jot down observations about what worked well and what could be improved for future lessons. Note any students who may need additional support or more challenging tasks.
