Hello, friends! It is maths time. Let us count up to fourteen together. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14. Wonderful! What comes after fourteen? Fifteen! Today we are learning the number fifteen.

Look at this big number. There is a straight line, and next to it there is a number five. Together they make fifteen. Say it with me. Fif-teen!

Now look at the picture. Wow, it is a land made of sweets! And here are lots of big, swirly lollipops. Each one has a pretty bow tied under it. Can you find the lollipop with all the colours of the rainbow?

Let us count the lollipops, one row at a time. The top row has 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. The middle row has 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. The bottom row has 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

Now let us count them all together. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15. Fifteen lollipops!

Did you know that lollipops melt in the hot sun? They go soft and very sticky. Let us count to fifteen quickly, before they go sticky! 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15. Phew, just in time!

Look at the rows again. The top two rows have ten lollipops. The bottom row has five more. Ten and five more make fifteen. Show me ten fingers. Now one more hand. Fifteen!

Do you have a sand timer? Turn it over and count to fifteen before the sand runs out.

Here is a fun job. Take a lump of clay and stand some lollipop sticks in it, one by one. Stop when you have fifteen. You have made a little fence!

Now let us trace the number fifteen. Hold up your finger and draw it in the air.

For the 1, start at the top and go straight down.

For the 5, first make a hat. Then draw a neck going down. Then make a fat, round belly. Hat, neck, belly. That is the perfect 5!

Let us try again. Straight down for 1. Hat, neck, belly for 5. Fifteen!

Your teacher says to remember the hat, the neck and the belly. Then your 5 will look just right.

On the next page there are lots of small lollipops and one big lollipop. Count them all. Fifteen! You can colour them with bright, swirly colours.

Then we will put fifteen in a tens and ones box. One ten and five ones make fifteen.

Let us remember what we learned today. Fifteen comes after fourteen.

Fifteen is ten and five more.

To make 15, draw a straight line, then a hat, a neck and a round belly.

You were amazing today, friends! Count fifteen things at home. See you next time! Bye-bye!
