Number 3

Subject: Maths | Class: Nursery | Series: Skillford

Hello, wonderful friends! It is maths time again. Today we are going to learn the number three!

Look at the big white number on the red square. This is three. Say it with me. Three!

Now look at the picture. We are in a sunny park. There are trees, flowers, a bench and a lake. And floating up in the blue sky are some balloons! Let us count them. One, two, three. Three balloons! Say it with me. Three balloons!

What colours are they? A red balloon, a green balloon and a blue balloon. Each balloon has a curly string hanging down.

Hold up three fingers for the three balloons. One, two, three. Super!

Do you know what makes a balloon big? Air! When we blow air into a balloon, it gets bigger and bigger. Let us pretend. Take a big breath and blow. Puff, puff, puff! Air makes them big!

Here is a counting trick. I have two balloons. Here comes one more balloon. How many now? Three! Two balloons and one more balloon make three.

If you have a calculator, find the number three and press it. Then point to three balloons in the picture. One, two, three!

Can you be a builder? Tie three balloons to a chair with three strings. Count the strings. One, two, three. Count the balloons. One, two, three!

Now it is time to write the number three. Hold up your finger and draw with me in the air.

Start at the top. Go round to the middle. Stop! Now go round again to the bottom. That is three!

Let us do it again. Round to the middle, stop, round to the bottom. Three!

Your teacher has a tip for you. After the top curve, stop for a tiny moment before you turn. Then make a second curve under the first one. Two curves make a three.

In your book, follow the green arrows. On the first rows the dots show you the way. On the last rows you write the three by yourself.

At the top of the page there are three balloons to colour. Make one red, one blue and one yellow. How many balloons will you colour? Three!

Later you will count lines on some beach balls and count some fluffy kittens. Count carefully and touch each one only once.

Let us remember what we learned today. The number three is called three.

Two and one more make three. Air makes balloons big.

To write three, go round, stop, and go round again.

You did a fantastic job today! Count three things before you go to bed. See you next time! Bye-bye!
