Hello, friends! Welcome to maths time. Let us count to eight together. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. What comes after eight? Nine! Today our number is nine.

Look at this big red number. This is nine. Say it with me. Nine!

Now look at the picture. We are in a cosy bedroom. There is a teddy bear with a red bow, a plant and a soft beanbag. And on the rug there are lots of bright cubes. Let us count them.

Look, the cubes are in rows. Let us count the top row. Red, yellow, blue. One, two, three. Now the middle row. Green, purple, orange. Four, five, six. And the bottom row. Pink, light blue, green. Seven, eight, nine. Nine cubes!

There are three rows, and each row has three cubes. Three rows of three make nine. Clever!

Can you build a tower of nine cubes? Put one on top of the other and count as you go. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. Does your tower stand up? Well done if it does!

If you have a calculator, find the number nine and press it. Then line up nine cubes next to it.

Do you know what happens to ice cubes in the sun? They melt! They turn into water. Ask a grown-up to put nine ice cubes on a plate in the sunshine. Count them, then come back later and see what happened.

Now it is time to write nine. Your teacher says nine looks like a bat hitting a ball. The circle is the ball, and the straight line is the bat.

Hold up your finger. Start just under the top. Go round to make a nice round ball. Now go straight down for the bat. That is nine!

Let us do it again. Round the ball. Down the bat. Nine!

When you trace nine in your book, start at the green dot and follow the arrows. Make the circle nice and round before you draw the line. At the top of that page there are nine cubes for you to colour.

Then you will count the spots on some T-shirts and find the ones with nine spots. And there is a maze! Follow the path from nine to the dice that has nine dots.

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

Nine comes after eight. Three rows of three make nine.

To write nine, make a round ball, then a straight line down.

You were fantastic today, friends! Stamp your feet nine times. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. Bye-bye!
