Daily Lesson Plan -- Lesson 8

Number 7

Subject: Maths | Class: Playgroup | Series: Skillford

Overview

This lesson introduces the number 7. Learners look at a big picture of seven cheerful ladybirds playing on the grass in a sunny courtyard and count them. On the second day they trace the number 7, drawing a flat line across and then a slanted line down. On the third day they circle the pond with 7 frogs in it, draw 7 spots on each fish and count the fish in a tank. All talk is oral and playful. Learners are not expected to read or write words.

Day 2: Trace the Number (30 minutes)

Materials

  • Textbook pages 31-32
  • Red and black crayons
