Daily Lesson Plan -- Lesson 14
Number 14
Subject: Maths | Class: Nursery | Series: Skillford
Overview
This lesson introduces the number 14. Learners look at a farm where a happy hen stands beside her hen house, with fourteen brown eggs laid out on the grass in two rows of seven, and count them together. They learn that fourteen is ten and four more, and that two rows of seven also make fourteen. On the second day they trace 14 (a straight line, then a 4 made in three strokes) and colour the eggs on page 45. On the third day they show fourteen in a tens and ones box (page 37), fill a paper nest with fourteen eggs, 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 14 and say its name.
- Count fourteen objects.
- Trace and write the number 14.
Key Vocabulary

Page Label

Day 1: Look and Say (30 minutes)
Materials
- Textbook page 44
- A calendar page for August
- Strips of brown and yellow paper, and a paper plate
- Fourteen egg shapes cut from card, or fourteen small balls of play dough
Circle Time Warm-Up (4 minutes)
- Sit in a circle and count from 1 to 13 together
- Ask: "What comes after thirteen?" Say "fourteen" together
- Draw 14 in the air: a straight line down, then the three strokes of 4
- Say "fourteen" three times, flapping your arms like a hen each time
Little Explorers (4 minutes)
- Science card: say "Chicks hatch from eggs"
- Ask: "Who lays eggs on a farm?" (a hen)
- Crouch down small like an egg, then slowly "hatch" and stand up as a chick
- Count fourteen egg shapes into a pile together
Look and Say (8 minutes)
- Open page 44 and point to the big white 14. Say "fourteen" and learners repeat
- Point to the words "Fourteen Eggs" and read them aloud
- Count the eggs together, touching each one: "1, 2, 3 ... 14"
- Ask: "Who do you think laid the eggs?" (the hen)
- Ask: "What can you see behind the hen?" (a hen house with straw, a fence, a red barn)
Little Innovators (4 minutes)
- Technology card: show the calendar page for August
- Help learners find 14 and circle it
- Say: "The 14th of August is Pakistan's Independence Day"
- Count the days from 1 to 14 on the calendar together
Little Builders (4 minutes)
- Engineering card: give out the paper strips
- Learners twist and stick the strips round the edge of a paper plate to make a nest
- Put fourteen card eggs in the nest, counting aloud
Little Thinkers (5 minutes)
- Maths card: "Two rows of seven eggs make fourteen eggs"
- Point to the back row of eggs on page 44 and count: seven
- Point to the front row and count: seven
- Count all the eggs together: fourteen
- Then show ten eggs and four more: "Ten and four more is also fourteen"
Wrap-Up (1 minute)
- Hold up ten fingers, then four more fingers from a friend. Say "fourteen"
- Wave goodbye to the hen: "Bye-bye, hen!"
Differentiation
- Support: Count one row of seven with the learner, then the other row
- Extension: Ask confident learners to count the eggs and say how many rows there are and how many eggs are in each row
Day 2: Trace the Number (30 minutes)
Materials
- Textbook pages 44-45
- Crayons (brown, cream or yellow)
- Pencils
- A tray of sand or salt
Warm-Up (5 minutes)
- Show page 44 again and count the fourteen eggs together
- Say "Fourteen Eggs" together
- Count on from 10: "10, 11, 12, 13, 14"
Little Artists: Sand Tracing (5 minutes)
- Ask learners to trace 14 in the sand tray with one finger
- Show the strokes: for 1, go straight down. For 4, draw a slanted line down, then a line across, then a straight line down through it
- Wipe the sand smooth and let them try again
Look at Page 45 (5 minutes)
- Open page 45 and point to the big white 14 and the words "Fourteen Eggs"
- Count the small eggs and the one big egg together: fourteen
- Read the Teacher's Note: draw a straight line from the top to the bottom for
- For 4, start with the slanted line, drawing it down at an angle. Lift the pencil, draw the line across, leaving a little tail. Finally draw the straight line down to finish the 4
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 14, following the green arrows
- Rows 3 and 4: learners make a 14 from the dots, with your hand over their hand if needed
- Remind them to lift the pencil after the slanted line
- Praise every try: "Slant, across, down. What a strong 4!"
Little Artists (4 minutes)
- Arts card: colour the fourteen eggs at the top of page 45
- Learners colour each egg and count it
Wrap-Up (1 minute)
- Draw 14 in the air one last time and say "fourteen"
Differentiation
- Support: Say the three strokes of the 4 aloud ("slant, across, down") while guiding the learner's hand
- Extension: Let confident learners write 14 on the board without dots
Day 3: Activities (30 minutes)
Materials
- Textbook page 37
- An empty egg box or egg tray, and fourteen ping-pong balls or play-dough eggs
- 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 four loose straws
Warm-Up (5 minutes)
- Count to 14 together while flapping arms like hens
- Show the bundle of ten straws and the four 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 four loose straws under O
- Ask: "How many tens? How many ones?" (one ten, four ones)
- Write 1 under T and 4 under O and read it: "fourteen"
Activity 2: Two Rows of Seven (8 minutes)
- Learners lay out fourteen play-dough eggs in two rows of seven, as on page 44
- Count each row, then count them all
- Ask: "How many eggs altogether?" (fourteen)
Activity 3: One More, One Less (6 minutes)
- Put fourteen eggs in the nest and count them
- Take one out: "How many now?" (thirteen)
- Put it back: "How many now?" (fourteen)
- Add one more: count again (fifteen). Take it out again
Wrap-Up (3 minutes)
- Play "Hatch, chick, hatch!": learners crouch like eggs; when you call "fourteen", they hatch and cheep
- Praise the class: "You counted all the way to fourteen!"
Differentiation
- Support: Count out ten eggs first, then add four more one at a time
- Extension: Ask confident learners to make fourteen in a different way, such as ten eggs in the box and four in the nest
Teaching Tips (from textbook)
- Draw a vertical line from the top to the bottom for 1
- For 4, start with the slanted line, drawing it diagonally downwards
- Lift the pencil, then draw the second stroke across the slanted line, leaving a little tail on the horizontal line
- Finally, draw the vertical line downwards to complete the 4
- Two rows of seven eggs make fourteen eggs
- Colour the fourteen eggs at the top of the next page
