Hello class, today we will be learning about interesting facts about numbers. Numbers are all around us and sometimes they can surprise us. What is your favorite number and why do you like it?
Let's hear from some students about their homework. Can a volunteer share an interesting fact they found out about a number?
Today we will be learning about different interesting facts about numbers. Did you know that some numbers are palindromes, meaning they are the same forwards and backwards? For example, 121 and 22 are palindromes. Another interesting fact is that some numbers are perfect, meaning their factors add up to the number itself. The first perfect number is 6. Are there any other interesting facts that anyone wants to share?
Now we're going to have some fun in groups. I want you to divide into groups of four and each group will have a set of numbers. You will need to find interesting facts about those numbers and present it to the class. Remember to work together and think creatively!
Let's do a quick physical activity to break up the lesson. Please stand up and stretch your arms up high and then touch your toes.
Now, each of you will receive a printed card. Please fill in your card with a fun fact about a number. Be creative and have fun!
Let's hear from a few groups and their fun facts. Can group 2 share with us their fun fact?
That was so much fun learning about interesting facts about numbers. Today we learned that numbers can be quite surprising and fun. Please summarize what we learned today. For homework tonight, I would like you to find an interesting fact about a number and share it with the class tomorrow.
Thank you for participating in today's lesson. Please submit your cards and I will assess your understanding of the lesson.

Poem of Physical Exercises:
Jump and touch the sky up high, High knees, reach for the sky. Lunges for your legs so strong, Jump and squat, let's go along.
Push-up power, feel it burn, Hold a plank, feel your core yearn. Mountain climbers, run in place, Feel the sweat drip down your face.
Burpees, oh the dreaded move, But it's worth it for the groove. Toes to touch, stretch down low, Side lunges, feel your muscles glow.
Bicycle crunches, work that core, Arm circles, let's do some more. These exercises, give it your best, Feel the burn, and then take a rest.
