Daily Lesson Plan -- Lesson 9

Number 8

Subject: Maths | Class: Playgroup | Series: Skillford

Overview

This lesson introduces the number 8. Learners look at a busy ice cream shop on page 34 and count the eight ice cream cones in a row, each with its own flavour label: strawberry, chocolate, vanilla, mint chip, mango sorbet, pistachio, blueberry and rocky road. On the second day they finger-trace and pencil-trace the number 8. On the third day they colour eight mangoes, trace eight stars and count eight footballs. All talk is oral and playful. Learners are not expected to read or write words.

Learning Outcomes (from textbook)

  • Recognise the number 8 and say its name
  • Count eight objects
  • Trace and write the number 8

Key Vocabulary

  • eight
  • ice cream
  • count
  • more
  • spider

Page Title

  • "Eight Ice Creams"

Day 1: Look and Say (30 minutes)

Materials

  • Textbook page 34
  • Eight small counters (or buttons) and a cupcake paper case for each group
  • Paper cups
  • Building blocks
  • A picture of a spider (or a clock and a calculator)

Circle Time Warm-Up (5 minutes)

  • Sit the learners in a circle and sing a counting song from 1 to 7 together
  • Draw a big 8 in the air with your finger: round the top, then round the bottom. Ask learners to copy you
  • Say "eight" slowly three times

Little Explorers (5 minutes)

  • Show a picture of a spider and say: "A spider has eight legs"
  • Count the legs together, pointing to each one: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
  • Let learners wiggle eight fingers and say "eight legs"

Look and Say (7 minutes)

  • Open page 34 and point to the big purple 8
  • Say "eight" and let learners repeat
  • Point to the words "Eight Ice Creams" and say them together
  • Count the ice cream cones in the row, touching each one: strawberry, chocolate, vanilla, mint chip, mango sorbet, pistachio, blueberry, rocky road
  • Point to the small numbers 1 to 8 on the wooden board under the cones and count along the row again
  • Ask: "How many ice creams?" Learners say "eight"
  • Play "Point to it": say a flavour or a number, learners point to the right cone

Little Innovators (4 minutes)

  • Show a clock face and point to the 8. Say: "This is eight"
  • Show a calculator and let each learner press the 8 key
  • Ask: "Can you find the 8 on the clock?"

Little Builders (4 minutes)

  • Give out paper cups
  • Build a cupcake stand from eight paper cups, counting each cup as it goes on: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
  • Ask: "How many cups are there?"

Little Thinkers (4 minutes)

  • Give each group eight small counters and a cupcake paper case
  • Learners put the counters into the case one at a time and count them out

Wrap-Up (1 minute)

  • Hold up eight fingers and ask: "How many?" Learners say "eight"
  • Wave goodbye to the ice creams: "Bye-bye, ice creams!"

Differentiation

  • Support: Let shy learners point to the cones instead of counting aloud; count with them and move each counter across a line as you say its number
  • Extension: Ask confident learners to count out eight counters on their own and say how many there are without counting again

Day 2: Trace and Write (30 minutes)

Materials

  • Textbook page 35
  • Crayons
  • Pencils
  • Paper for drawing a letter S

Warm-Up (5 minutes)

  • Show page 34 again and count the eight ice creams together
  • Say: "eight, eight ice creams"
  • Draw a big 8 in the air with your finger

Little Thinkers (4 minutes)

  • Open page 35 and count the ice creams at the top of the page: four big ones, three small ones, and one very big one on the right
  • Say together: "four, three and one make eight"
  • Learners only count and point; they do not write

Finger Tracing (6 minutes)

  • Point to the big white 8 on page 35
  • Show the stroke: start at the dot at the top, go round the top circle, then carry on round the bottom circle
  • Let the learners run a finger along the dotted 8 in the first box, again and again

Trace and Write (8 minutes)

  • Teacher's Note: let learners write the letter S on paper first, before they begin the number. Then show how to write an S and, without lifting the pencil, close it into two small circles
  • Hand out pencils and check the grip (pinch the pencil, rest it on the middle finger)
  • Rows 1 and 2: trace the dotted 8s, following the green arrows
  • Rows 3 and 4: learners try to make an 8 from each dot, with your hand over their hand if needed
  • Praise every try: "Lovely round 8!"

Little Artists (6 minutes)

  • Ask learners to colour the eight ice creams at the top of page 35
  • Count each one as it is coloured
  • Ask: "What colour is your first ice cream?"

Wrap-Up (1 minute)

  • Draw 8 in the air one last time and say "eight"
  • Remind parents to finish with the matching pages in the Activity Book

Differentiation

  • Support: Use a thick crayon for tracing; hold the learner's hand for the first row
  • Extension: Let confident learners trace a big 8 on the board with a marker

Day 3: Activities (30 minutes)

Materials

  • Textbook page 36
  • Crayons and pencils
  • Eight small counters

Warm-Up (5 minutes)

  • Count to 8 together, then count back from 8 to 1
  • Draw an 8 in the air

Colour the 8 Mangoes (7 minutes)

  • Point to the mangoes at the top of page 36 and count them: 4 in the top row and 4 in the bottom row
  • Learners colour each mango and count aloud as they go

Trace and Colour 8 Stars (8 minutes)

  • Point to the dotted stars around the big pink 8 and the smiling moon
  • Count the stars together: there are 8
  • Learners trace each star, then colour it. Count each star as it is finished

Count the Footballs (8 minutes)

  • Point to the footballs and ask: "How many footballs are there?"
  • Learners touch each ball and count aloud: 4 in the top row, 4 in the bottom row
  • Show where to write the number in the box. Learners try to write 8, or trace one in the air

Wrap-Up (2 minutes)

  • Ask: "What number did we learn?" Learners say "eight"
  • Make a group count of eight, one clap for each number

Differentiation

  • Support: Use counters to match one to each football before counting
  • Extension: Ask learners to count the footballs in a different order and see if the answer is the same

Teaching Tips (from textbook)

  • Let learners write the letter S first, then show how to write an S and, without lifting the pencil, close it into two small circles
  • Hand out pencils and work through the traced rows together, one line at a time
  • Finish with the matching pages in the Activity Book
