Teacher:
"Good morning, class! Today, we are going to learn about something fun: non-consecutive numbers! Can anyone tell me what 'consecutive' means?"
Allow a few moments for responses. Prompt students if needed with examples like '1, 2, 3' or '4, 5, 6.'
Teacher:
"Great answers! 'Consecutive' means numbers that come one after the other in order. For example, if I say '1, 2, 3, 4,' these numbers are all consecutive. Now, what do you think 'non-consecutive' means?"
Encourage children to think about numbers that have gaps.
Teacher:
"Excellent guesses! Non-consecutive numbers are numbers that have ‘breaks’ or 'gaps' between them. Let’s say we have these numbers: 1, 3, 5. Can anyone see why these numbers are non-consecutive?"
Show the numbers on the whiteboard.
Teacher:
"That’s right! Between 1 and 3, we skip 2, and between 3 and 5, we skip 4. Now, let’s practice together! I will write different groups of numbers on the board, and you will tell me if they are consecutive or non-consecutive."
Write out a few groups such as: 2, 3, 4; 5, 7, 8; 1, 4, 5; and 10, 11, 12. Allow the students to identify them.
Teacher:
"Now, let’s have some fun with our counting objects! I have a few piles of blocks here. Let’s say I want to use some blocks to show non-consecutive numbers.
Create a pile with gaps using the blocks.
Teacher:
"If I take 1 block, skip a few, and take 4 blocks, this pile will show non-consecutive numbers! Let's count together how many blocks we have."
Count the blocks with them.
Teacher:
"Now it's time for you to try by yourselves! I’m handing out a worksheet. On your worksheet, you will see groups of numbers. I want you to circle the non-consecutive numbers in each group."
Distribute worksheets and assist students as needed.
Teacher:
"Wonderful work today, everyone! Before we end, I have a few more challenges for you. Can someone give me an example of non-consecutive numbers using numbers 1 to 10?"
Take responses and discuss.
Teacher:
"Fantastic! As homework, I want each of you to think of three groups of non-consecutive numbers at home. You can write them down or draw them as pictures. And remember, the key is that they must have gaps between them! I can’t wait to see what you come up with!"
Thank you for your attention and participation, class! Remember to keep thinking about numbers at home. See you tomorrow!
