Test Your Grammar Skills Trace Numbers – with Lines (1 to 5) Help your students to write and learn their numbers up to 5.

Are you teaching about counting to 10? Here is a great teaching tool, linked into fireworks, bonfire night and Guy Fawkes events. Students can count the numbers in order or solve the mixed up number slides. You could look at it directly as a presentation and discuss the different materials being shown in each of the photos. You could print off and laminate the photos to make an interesting, eye-catching display about Guy Fawkes - Counting to 10. The students could also take the laminated photos and sort them into order. Teachers could show two printed out cards at once and add them, subtract them, or multiply them.

Mental Warm Up: Sit with people you do not normally work with. Choose a number with up to three digits and write it down on a piece of paper. Hold it up if it answers my questions. Main Lesson Idea: Today we are going to compare and order numbers. Educational Challenges  Order numbers.  Differentiate by different numbers.

Lesson 2: Week 3 Title Understanding Addition and Subtraction Learning Objective:  add  know words used in adding  add by partitioning into ‘5 and a bit’  recombine the numbers. Mental Warm Up: Sit with children you do not normally work with. On your table is a pen and a big piece of paper. The leader is in charge of the pen. Main Lesson Idea: Today we are going to continue with our ‘5 and a bit’ work and use it to help us with addition. Educational Challenges  Work in threes.Take it in turns to throw the dice. Total the three throws using the ‘5 and a bit’ strategy.  Work in pairs. Practise adding number sentences using the ‘5 and a bit’ strategy.  Work in pairs.
