A Magical Teen Number Adventure

Introduction

Objective: Today, we are going to explore the magical world of teen numbers! By the end of our lesson, you will understand what teen numbers are and how they fit into our number family.

The Magic Box

Materials Needed:

Opening the Lesson:

  1. Gather Around the Magic Box: Invite the students to sit in a circle around the Magic Box. Tell them that inside the box is something very special that will help them discover exciting new numbers.

  2. The Big Reveal: Slowly open the box and take out the number cards one by one, counting together aloud from 11 to 19. As you pull out each card, explain that these are our teen numbers.

    • Example: "Look! Here is the card with the number 11. Can everyone say 'eleven’? Great job!"

  3. The Magic of "Teen": Explain that every number from 11 to 19 has a magic trick—it’s called "teen"! These numbers are all part of the special group we call the teen numbers, and they have something in common: they all contain the word "teen."

  4. Numbers and Faces: Now, grab the colorful stickers. Give each student a sticker and ask them to decorate their own number card with stickers to represent how they feel about that number. For instance, if a student has the number 14, they might place stars around it because they feel it’s "starry"!

A Fun Transition

Teen Number Dance

  1. Moving into Action: After decorating, lead the class in a short "Teen Number Dance"! Each time you call out a teen number, students will take one small step forward and shout the number as loud as they can.

    • Example: "When I say 15, I want you to shout 'Fifteen!' and take a giant step forward!"

Conclusion

Sharing Time

To end the lesson, invite a few students to share their decorated number cards and explain why they chose those stickers.

Wrap-Up: Remind the students that teen numbers are super special and magical! They are like a bridge connecting the single digits to the big world of numbers ahead. Today, we learned how to identify them, and we can’t wait to discover more about them in our next magical adventure!

Homework Idea

Magic Number Hunt: Ask the students to go on a "teen number hunt" at home. They can look for objects or items that come in quantities of teen numbers (like 15 toys, 12 pieces of fruit, etc.) and bring them to class for show-and-tell next time!

Let’s embark on this magical journey of learning about teen numbers together! 🌟
