Daily Lesson Plan -- Lesson 13
Number 13
Subject: Maths | Class: Nursery | Series: Skillford
Overview
This lesson introduces the number 13. Learners look at a fruit stall by the sea, where thirteen yellow bananas lie on a wooden stand with three shelves, and count them together. They learn that thirteen is ten and three more. On the second day they trace 13 (a straight line, then a 3 made of two matching curves) and colour the bananas on page 43. On the third day they show thirteen in a tens and ones box (page 37), count the teddy bears on page 58, and practise one more and one less. Learners say, count and trace; they are not expected to read words.
Learning Outcomes (from textbook)
- Recognise the number 13 and say its name.
- Count thirteen objects.
- Trace and write the number 13.
Key Vocabulary
- thirteen
- banana
- green
- yellow

Page Label
- "Thirteen Bananas"
Day 1: Look and Say (30 minutes)
Materials
- Textbook page 42
- One green banana and one yellow banana (or pictures of them)

- Thirteen paper bananas cut from yellow card, a piece of string and pegs
Circle Time Warm-Up (4 minutes)
- Sit in a circle and count from 1 to 12 together
- Ask: "What comes after twelve?" Say "thirteen" together
- Draw 13 in the air: a straight line down, then two round bumps for the 3
- Say "thirteen" slowly, clapping on each part: "thir-teen"
Little Explorers (4 minutes)
- Science card: say "Bananas turn from green to yellow"
- Show the green banana and the yellow banana side by side
- Ask: "Which one is ready to eat?" (the yellow one)
- Ask: "What colour are the bananas on page 42?" (yellow)
Look and Say (8 minutes)
- Open page 42 and point to the big white 13. Say "thirteen" and learners repeat
- Point to the words "Thirteen Bananas" and read them aloud
- Count the bananas together, one shelf at a time: five on the top shelf, five on the middle shelf, three on the bottom shelf
- Count them all together, touching each one: "1, 2, 3 ... 13"
- Ask: "What else is for sale at the fruit stall?" (pineapples, oranges)
- Ask: "What can you see behind the stall?" (the sea and the hills)
Little Innovators (4 minutes)
- Technology card: show the calculator
- Press 1, then press 3, and show the screen: "13"
- Let a few learners come up and press 1 then 3 to make 13
Little Builders (4 minutes)
- Engineering card: hang the string across the classroom or along the board
- Learners take turns pegging a paper banana on the string, counting aloud
- Stop at thirteen and count the whole line together
Little Thinkers (5 minutes)
- Maths card: "Ten bananas and three more make thirteen bananas"
- Point to the ten bananas on the top two shelves on page 42 and count them
- Point to the three on the bottom shelf: "and three more"
- Say together: "Ten and three more is thirteen"
Wrap-Up (1 minute)
- Hold up ten fingers, then three more fingers from a friend. Say "thirteen"
- Wave goodbye to the bananas: "Bye-bye, bananas!"
Differentiation
- Support: Count one shelf at a time with the learner, then put the shelves together
- Extension: Ask confident learners to count the bananas and say how many are on the bottom shelf and how many are on the top two shelves
Day 2: Trace the Number (30 minutes)
Materials
- Textbook pages 42-43
- Yellow crayons
- Pencils
- A tray of sand or salt
Warm-Up (5 minutes)
- Show page 42 again and count the thirteen bananas together
- Say "Thirteen Bananas" together
- Count on from 10: "10, 11, 12, 13"
Little Artists: Sand Tracing (5 minutes)
- Ask learners to trace 13 in the sand tray with one finger
- Show the strokes: for 1, go straight down. For 3, make a curve at the top and another curve the same size underneath it
- Wipe the sand smooth and let them try again
Look at Page 43 (5 minutes)
- Open page 43 and point to the big white 13 and the words "Thirteen Bananas"
- Count the small bananas and the one big banana together: thirteen
- Read the Teacher's Note: draw a straight line from the top to the bottom for
- Then draw the top curve and the second curve, which are the same, for 3
Trace the Number (10 minutes)
- Hand out pencils and check the grip (pinch the pencil, rest it on the middle finger)
- Rows 1 and 2: trace the dotted 13, following the green arrows
- Rows 3 and 4: learners make a 13 from the dots, with your hand over their hand if needed
- Check that the two curves of the 3 are about the same size
- Praise every try: "A straight 1 and a bumpy 3!"
Little Artists (4 minutes)
- Arts card: colour the thirteen bananas at the top of page 43
- Learners colour each banana yellow and count it
Wrap-Up (1 minute)
- Draw 13 in the air one last time and say "thirteen"
Differentiation
- Support: Draw the two curves of the 3 as two separate bumps first, then join them
- Extension: Let confident learners write 13 on the board without dots
Day 3: Activities (30 minutes)
Materials
- Textbook pages 37 and 58
- Thirteen counters, blocks or bottle tops
- A tens and ones box drawn on card (two boxes marked T and O)
- A bundle of ten straws held with a rubber band, and three loose straws
Warm-Up (5 minutes)
- Count to 13 together while stamping feet
- Show the bundle of ten straws and the three loose straws and count them all
Activity 1: Tens and Ones (8 minutes)
- Open page 37 and look at the boxes marked T and O
- Put the straw bundle under T and the three loose straws under O
- Ask: "How many tens? How many ones?" (one ten, three ones)

Wrap-Up (3 minutes)
- Play "Banana stall": one learner is the seller and hands out bananas (paper or blocks) while the class counts up to thirteen
- Praise the class: "You counted all the way to thirteen!"
Differentiation
- Support: Count out ten counters first, then add three more one at a time
- Extension: Ask confident learners to show 13 in the tens and ones box on their own and say how many tens and how many ones
Teaching Tips (from textbook)
- Draw a vertical line from the top to the bottom for 1
- Then draw the top curve and the second curve, which are the same size, for 3
- Ten bananas and three more make thirteen bananas
- Colour the thirteen bananas at the top of the next page
