Lesson Introduction: Exploring Groups of Ten

🌟 Welcome to the World of Tens! 🌟

Objective: Today, we will dive into the exciting concept of groups of ten! We’ll learn how to recognize, count, and use groups of ten to make math fun and easy.


🎉 Let's Start with a Fun Story! 🎉

Once upon a time in a colorful kingdom called “Numberland,” there lived ten friendly little creatures called “Tensies.” Each Tensie could only hang out in groups of ten. If there were more than ten Tensies, they had to form a new group!

One sunny day, the Tensies wanted to throw a party, and they needed to figure out how many groups they had. So, they decided to count how many Tensies were at the party.

Questions for You:

🧮 Let's Count Groups of Ten!

Now, let’s gather around and find out how many Tensies we have!

Activity:

  1. Use Your Fingers! Hold up ten fingers. This represents one group of ten. Now, let's see how many more groups we can make by counting together:
    • If I say "20," how many groups of ten do we have? (2 groups)
    • If I say "30," how many groups of ten do we have? (3 groups)

Materials Needed:

🤔 Reflection Time

After our adventure counting the Tensies, turn to a partner and share what you learned about groups of ten.


🚀 Ready for More?

At the end of the lesson, we’ll create our own “Tensies” using craft materials. Let’s see how many different groups we can make and share our creations with the class!


Let’s kick off this fun math journey into the world of tens! Who’s ready? 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️
