Daily Lesson Plan -- Lesson 15
Number 15
Subject: Maths | Class: Nursery | Series: Skillford
Overview
This lesson introduces the number 15. Learners look at fifteen bright, swirly lollipops tied with little bows, standing in three rows of five in a land of sweets, and count them together. They learn that fifteen is ten and five more. On the second day they trace 15 (a straight line, then a 5 with a hat, a neck and a round belly) and colour the lollipops on page 47. On the third day they show fifteen in a tens and ones box (page 37), build a lollipop-stick fence 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 15 and say its name.
- Count fifteen objects.
- Trace and write the number 15.

Page Label
- "Fifteen Lollipops"
Day 1: Look and Say (30 minutes)
Materials
- Textbook page 46
- A sand timer (one or two minutes)
- Fifteen lollipop sticks or ice-lolly sticks
- A lump of clay or play dough
Circle Time Warm-Up (4 minutes)
- Sit in a circle and count from 1 to 14 together
- Ask: "What comes after fourteen?" Say "fifteen" together
- Draw 15 in the air: a straight line down, then a hat, a neck and a round belly for 5
- Say "fifteen" three times, licking an imaginary lollipop each time
Little Explorers (4 minutes)
- Science card: say "Lollipops melt in the sun"
- Ask: "What happens to a lollipop on a hot day?" (it goes soft and sticky)
- Count to fifteen together quickly, "before the lollipops go sticky!"
Look and Say (8 minutes)
- Open page 46 and point to the big white 15. Say "fifteen" and learners repeat
- Point to the words "Fifteen Lollipops" and read them aloud
- Count the lollipops together, one row at a time: five, five, five
- Count them all together, touching each one: "1, 2, 3 ... 15"
- Ask: "What is tied under each lollipop?" (a bow)
- Ask learners to find the lollipop with all the colours of the rainbow
Little Innovators (4 minutes)
- Technology card: show the sand timer and turn it over
- The class counts slowly to fifteen together
- Ask: "Did we finish before the sand ran out?" Try again, a little faster
Little Builders (4 minutes)
- Engineering card: press the clay into a long, flat strip on the table
- Learners take turns standing a lollipop stick in the clay, counting aloud
- Stop at fifteen and admire the fence: "Fifteen sticks make a fence!"
Little Thinkers (5 minutes)
- Maths card: "Ten lollipops and five more make fifteen lollipops"
- Point to the top two rows on page 46 and count: ten
- Point to the bottom row: "and five more"
- Say together: "Ten and five more is fifteen"
- Show two hands (ten fingers), then one more hand (five): fifteen
Wrap-Up (1 minute)
- Hold up ten fingers, then a friend holds up one whole hand. Say "fifteen"
- Wave goodbye to the lollipops: "Bye-bye, lollipops!"
Differentiation
- Support: Count one row of five at a time with the learner, then put the rows together
- Extension: Ask confident learners to count the lollipops in fives: "five, ten, fifteen"
Day 2: Trace the Number (30 minutes)
Materials
- Textbook pages 46-47
- Crayons
- Pencils
- A tray of sand or salt
Warm-Up (5 minutes)
- Show page 46 again and count the fifteen lollipops together
- Say "Fifteen Lollipops" together
- Count on from 11: "11, 12, 13, 14, 15"
Little Artists: Sand Tracing (5 minutes)
- Ask learners to trace 15 in the sand tray with one finger
- Show the strokes: for 1, go straight down. For 5, draw the hat across the top, the neck going down, then the fat round belly
- Wipe the sand smooth and let them try again
Look at Page 47 (5 minutes)
- Open page 47 and point to the big white 15 and the words "Fifteen Lollipops"
- Count the small lollipops and the one big lollipop together: fifteen
- Read the Teacher's Note: draw a straight line from the top to the bottom for
- Then make a hat, then a neck, then a fat, round belly to make the perfect 5
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 15, following the green arrows
- Rows 3 and 4: learners make a 15 from the dots, with your hand over their hand if needed
- Say the 5 rhyme as they draw: "hat, neck, belly"
- Praise every try: "What a perfect 5!"
Little Artists (4 minutes)
- Arts card: colour the fifteen lollipops at the top of page 47
- Learners use bright swirly colours and count each lollipop
Wrap-Up (1 minute)
- Draw 15 in the air one last time and say "fifteen"
Differentiation
- Support: Say "hat, neck, belly" while guiding the learner's hand through the 5
- Extension: Let confident learners write 15 on the board without dots
Day 3: Activities (30 minutes)
Materials
- Textbook page 37
- Fifteen lollipop sticks per group and a lump of clay
- 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 five loose straws
Warm-Up (5 minutes)
- Count to 15 together while jumping on the spot
- Show the bundle of ten straws and the five 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 five loose straws under O
- Ask: "How many tens? How many ones?" (one ten, five ones)
- Write 1 under T and 5 under O and read it: "fifteen"
Activity 2: Lollipop-Stick Fence (8 minutes)
- Each group builds a fence by standing fifteen sticks in clay
- Groups count their sticks aloud as they stand each one up
- Groups swap tables and count the other fence to check
Activity 3: One More, One Less (6 minutes)
- Put fifteen sticks in a row and count them
- Take one away: "How many now?" (fourteen)
- Put it back: "How many now?" (fifteen)

Wrap-Up (3 minutes)
- Turn the sand timer over and count to fifteen together one last time
- Praise the class: "You counted all the way to fifteen!"
Differentiation
- Support: Count out ten sticks first, then add five more one at a time

Teaching Tips (from textbook)
- Draw a vertical line from the top to the bottom for 1
- Make a hat, then a neck, then a fat, round belly to make the perfect 5
