Daily Lesson Plan -- Lesson 4

Number 3

Subject: Maths | Class: Playgroup | Series: Skillford


Overview

This lesson introduces the number 3. Learners look at a big red 3 beside three dolls sitting on a shelf in a cosy toy room. On the second day they finger-trace and pencil-trace the number 3 beside three dolls to colour. On the third day they circle the plates with 3 fruits, find the groups of three and count three turtles. All talk is oral and playful. Learners are not expected to read or write words.

Learning Outcomes (from textbook)

  • Recognise the number 3 and say its name
  • Count three objects
  • Trace and write the number 3

Key Vocabulary

  • three
  • dolls
  • fruits
  • oranges
  • turtles

Page Label

  • "Three Dolls"

Day 1: Look and Say (30 minutes)

Materials

  • Textbook page 19
  • Three toys
  • Clay (or play dough) and three sticks
  • Red, yellow and green paper circles
  • Building blocks

Circle Time Warm-Up (5 minutes)

  • Sit the learners in a circle and sing a hello song together
  • Hold up three fingers and say "three" together
  • Draw a big 3 in the air with your finger and ask learners to copy you
  • Say "three" three times, getting louder each time

Little Explorers (5 minutes)

  • Science card: say "An insect's body has three parts: head, middle and tail end"
  • Look at a picture of an insect and point to each part
  • Count the parts together: one, two, three

Look and Say (10 minutes)

  • Open page 19 and point to the big red 3. Say "three" and learners repeat
  • Point to the dolls and say "three dolls". Learners repeat
  • Point to each doll and count: one, two, three
  • Ask: "What can you see on the shelf?" Learners say "teddy bear", "books", "toy train"
  • Say together: "Three dolls"

Little Innovators (4 minutes)

  • Technology card: show the red, yellow and green circles like a traffic light
  • Say together: "A traffic light has three lights: red, yellow, green"
  • Count all three lights together

Little Builders (5 minutes)

  • Engineering card: give out clay and three sticks
  • Let learners make a stool by pushing the sticks into the clay
  • Ask: "Does it stand on three legs?"

Wrap-Up (1 minute)

  • Clap three times, stamp three times, then count three toys out loud
  • Wave goodbye to the dolls: "Bye-bye, dolls!"

Differentiation

  • Support: Let shy learners hold up three fingers instead of saying the word; say it with them
  • Extension: Ask confident learners to find three things in the classroom and say "three" without help

Day 2: Trace the Number (30 minutes)

Materials

  • Textbook pages 19-20
  • Crayons
  • Pencils
  • A tray of sand

Warm-Up (5 minutes)

  • Show page 19 again. Point and say: "Three dolls"
  • Hold up three fingers and say "three" together
  • Clap three times, stamp three times

Little Artists: Sand Tracing (5 minutes)

  • Ask learners to trace a big 3 in the sand tray with one finger
  • Show the stroke: start at the top left, curve round to the middle, pause, then curve round again to the bottom
  • Wipe the sand smooth and let them try again

Look at Page 20 (5 minutes)

  • Open page 20 and point to the big white 3 and the words "Three Dolls"
  • Point to the three dolls and count: one, two, three
  • Read the Teacher's Note: after the top curve, pause briefly before changing direction. Then try to draw a second curve that matches the first one

Trace the Number (12 minutes)

  • Hand out pencils and check the grip (pinch the pencil, rest it on the middle finger)
  • Work through the rows one line at a time
  • Rows 1 and 2: trace the dotted 3 and follow the green arrows: top curve, pause, then the second curve
  • Rows 3 and 4: learners make a 3 from each dot, following the arrows, with your hand over their hand if needed
  • Praise every try: "Lovely two curves!"

Wrap-Up (3 minutes)

  • Draw 3 in the air one last time and say "three"
  • Remind learners that the Arts card says to colour the three dolls at the top of page 20

Differentiation

  • Support: Use a thick crayon for tracing; hold the learner's hand for the first row
  • Extension: Let confident learners draw a big 3 on the board with a marker

Day 3: Activities (30 minutes)

Materials

  • Textbook page 21
  • Crayons or pencils
  • Small items in threes (for example three blocks)

Warm-Up (5 minutes)

  • Hold up three blocks and count: "one, two, three"
  • Clap three times and say "three"
  • Say "three dolls" together

Activity 1: Circle the Plates (7 minutes)

  • Open page 21 and read the first instruction aloud: "Circle the plates which have 3 fruits on them"
  • Point to the five plates one at a time and count the fruits together
  • Learners circle the two plates with exactly three fruits (the top two plates)

Activity 2: Groups of Three (8 minutes)

  • Read the second instruction: "Find the groups of three. Join them to the 3"
  • Point to the four pictures: three oranges, two carrots, one puppy and three mice
  • Count the things in each picture together
  • Learners join the groups of three to the pink 3 in the middle

Activity 3: Count and Write (7 minutes)

  • Read the third instruction: "Count and write the number in the box"
  • Point to the turtles and count: one, two, three
  • Learners write 3 in the box, or say "three" and point

Wrap-Up (3 minutes)

  • Play "Show me three": hold up groups of one, two and three blocks. Learners clap when they see three
  • Praise the group

Differentiation

  • Support: Point to each fruit on the plate and count one at a time
  • Extension: Ask learners to say how many fruits are on the plates that are not circled

Teaching Tips (from textbook)

  • After the top curve, remind learners to pause briefly before changing direction
  • Challenge learners to draw a second curve that is identical to the first
  • Colour the three dolls at the top of the next page
