Much, Many & Lots of/ A lot of - Complete Lesson PowerPoint Presentation with Activities

(0)
This is a complete lesson (PowerPoint Presentation) teaching the difference between when to use the quantifiers ‘much’, ‘many’ and ‘lots of’/ ‘a lot of’. The PowerPoint also covers the difference between countable and uncountable nouns. We use ‘much’ and ‘many’ to ask questions (e.g. How many apples is there? How much milk is there? and to make negative statements (e.g. There aren’t many apples. There isn’t much milk.) whereas we use ‘lots of’ or ‘a lot of’ to make positive statements (e.g. There are lots of apples. There is lots of milk.). We use ‘much’ to ask questions and make negative statements about uncountable nouns. We use ‘many’ to ask questions and make negative statements about countable nouns. We use ‘lots of’ or ‘a lot of’ to make positive statements about both countable and uncountable nouns. Countable nouns are nouns that we make plural and that we can count where as uncountable nouns are nouns that we don’t make plural and which we measure instead of count. This resource is a PowerPoint presentation which includes a full lesson’s worth of activities and teaching points for teaching children how to use much, many and lots of/ a lot of. The notes section also includes teaching tips, ideas and further explanations. The presentation includes: √ Learning objective √ Three success criteria √ Starter activity - sentence builder task √ Teaching input - the difference between countable and uncountable nouns, how to use ‘much’ and ‘many’ to ask questions about amounts and to make negative statements about amounts.

Phonics Phase 3 Complete Lesson + Activities - er digraph

(0)
This is a complete lesson teaching children how to identify, read and write the ‘er’ digraph of phase 3 phonics. This lesson introduces the ‘er’ digraph and the sound that it makes. It is designed to be the SEVENTH lesson in a series of phase 3 lessons that build on prior learning from phase 2. In phase 3 of phonics, children learn that multiple letters (digraphs and trigraphs) can make one sound. They also meet some of the less common letters and the sounds they make. They continue to practise segmenting and blending CVC (consonant - vowel - consonant) words, CCVC and CVCC words as well as some longer, phonetically-decodable words. These lessons follow on from the phase 2 phonics lessons where the most commonly used letters and sounds are learned and children practise segmenting and blending mostly CVC (consonant - vowel - consonant) words. These lessons are designed to teach children how to read and write by practising the skills of identifying, segmenting and blending. Each lesson includes all the information, games, videos and activities needed teach each phase 3 sound.
