Subject: Mathematics
Grade Level: Reception / Kindergarten
Duration: 30 minutes
Topic: Teen Collections
Learning Objectives
- Students will be able to recognize and name teen numbers (11-19).
- Students will be able to create collections of items corresponding to teen numbers.
- Students will develop counting skills and understand the concept of "more than ten."
Materials Needed
- Number cards (11-19)
- A collection of small objects (e.g., blocks, buttons, or counters)
- Whiteboard and markers
- Chart paper
- Glue and scissors
- Worksheets for homework
Introduction (5 minutes)
- Greeting: Welcome the students and gather them in a circle.
- Introduction to Teen Numbers: Explain the concept of teen numbers, emphasizing that they come after ten and before twenty. Display number cards 11-19 on the whiteboard.
- Counting Practice: Lead the class in a counting activity, counting from 1 to 19, pausing to emphasize the teen numbers.
Main Activity (20 minutes)
-
Group Activity (10 minutes):
- Divide students into small groups and provide each group with a set of objects (blocks, buttons, etc.).
- Assign each group a different teen number (11, 12, 13, etc.) and ask them to collect that number of objects.
- Have each group display their collection and count out loud the number of objects they have.
-
Interactive Activity (10 minutes):
- Using the whiteboard, have students help you create a chart that lists each teen number and the corresponding number of objects each group collected.
- Discuss the patterns and differences between the teen numbers. Highlight that each number has one "ten" and additional ones.
Conclusion (5 minutes)
- Review: Recap the teen numbers and their collections. Ask students questions like, "What number comes after 14?" and, "How many blocks are in your collection?"
- End the Lesson: Congratulate the students on their hard work and encourage them to think about and visualize numbers at home.
Homework Assignment
Task: Ask students to create their own teen collection at home using items like crayons, toys, or coins. They should collect the number of items that corresponds to their chosen teen number and draw a picture of their collection.
Worksheet:
- On the worksheet, students will record their chosen teen number, draw their collection, and write the total number of items.
Example Homework Answers:
- Teen Number Chosen: 15
- Total Items Counted: 15
- Drawing: (Space for them to draw their collection)
Assessment
- Monitor group activities and participation during the lesson.
- Review the homework assignments for accuracy in counting and understanding of teen numbers.
Additional Notes
- Encourage parents to assist their children in the homework while reinforcing counting skills.
- Consider additional resources for students who may need extra support or enrichment activities for advanced learners.
