Daily Lesson Plan -- Lesson 16
Number 16
Subject: Maths | Class: Nursery | Series: Skillford
Overview
This lesson introduces the number 16. Learners look at sixteen bright toy boats sailing on a pond under a wooden bridge and count them in rows of four. They learn that 16 is one ten and six more, and that eight boats and eight more boats make sixteen. On the second day they trace 16 with a finger and a pencil and colour the sixteen boats at the top of page 49. On the third day they use tens and ones, count on from ten, and find one more and one less than 16 with hands-on boats. Talk stays oral and playful; writing is limited to the numeral.
Learning Outcomes (from textbook)
- Recognise the number 16 and say its name
- Count sixteen objects
- Trace and write the number 16
Key Vocabulary
- sixteen
- boat
- float
- pond
- ten and six more
Page Label
- "Sixteen Boats"
Day 1: Look and Say (30 minutes)
Materials
- Textbook page 48
- A tub or bowl of water
- Sixteen small paper boats (folded before the lesson)
- A calculator
- Ten-frame cards and counters
Circle Time Warm-Up (4 minutes)
- Count together from 1 to 20, clapping on every number
- Write a big 16 on the board and say "sixteen" slowly
- Hold up ten fingers, then six more (a partner can help): "Ten and six make sixteen"
Little Explorers (5 minutes)
- Science card: paper boats float on water
- Put the tub of water in the middle of the circle
- Learners take turns to place a paper boat on the water and count aloud as each one goes in, up to sixteen
- Ask: "Are the boats floating or sinking?" (floating)
Look and Say (8 minutes)
- Open page 48 and point to the big 16. Say "sixteen" and learners repeat
- Read the label in the cloud together: "Sixteen Boats"
- Count the boats row by row: there are four rows with four boats in each
- Count all sixteen boats again, one learner touching each boat
- Ask: "What colour is the first boat? Which boats have the same colour?"
- Point to the bridge, the rocks and the reeds and talk about the pond
Little Innovators (3 minutes)
- Technology card: on a calculator, press 1 then 6 to make 16
- Let learners take turns to press 1, then 6, and read the screen together
Little Builders (4 minutes)
- Engineering card: fold sixteen paper boats. Which one floats best?
- Show the paper boats from the tub. Ask: "Which boat is still floating? Which one got wet and tipped over?"
- Learners choose the boat they think floats best and say why
Little Thinkers (4 minutes)
- Maths card: eight boats and eight more boats make sixteen boats
- Line up eight paper boats, then eight more beside them
- Count the first eight, then count on: "9, 10, 11 ... 16"
- Put sixteen counters on two ten-frames: one full frame and six more
Wrap-Up (2 minutes)
- Say "sixteen" in a whisper, then in a loud voice
- Wave goodbye to the boats: "Bye-bye, sixteen boats!"
Differentiation
- Support: Count the boats on page 48 one row at a time, four by four, with your finger on each boat
- Extension: Ask confident learners to count from 16 back to 10
Day 2: Trace the Number (30 minutes)
Materials
- Textbook pages 48-49
- Pencils and crayons
- A tray of sand or salt
- Number cards 10 to 20
Warm-Up (5 minutes)
- Show page 48 again and say together: "Sixteen Boats"
- Find 16 among the number cards 10 to 20
- Draw 16 in the air: a straight line down, then the 6
Little Artists: Sand Tracing (5 minutes)
- Learners trace 16 in the sand tray with one finger
- For 1: straight down from the top
- For 6: start at the top, curve round and down, then close the round belly at the bottom
- Smooth the sand and try again
Look at Page 49 (4 minutes)
- Point to the big outline 16 and the label "Sixteen Boats"
- Count the boats at the top together: fifteen small boats and one big boat make sixteen
- Read the Teacher's Note aloud (see Teaching Tips below)
Trace the Number (12 minutes)
- Check the pencil grip before starting
- Rows 1 and 2: trace the dotted 16 from the green dot, following the arrows
- Rows 3 and 4: only the arrows and the starting dots are shown. Learners write 16 on their own, starting at each dot
- Remind learners: the 1 comes first, then the 6 beside it
- Praise every careful try: "What a lovely round belly on your 6!"
Little Artists: Colour the Boats (3 minutes)
- Arts card: colour the sixteen boats at the top of page 49
- Learners count each boat as they colour it
Wrap-Up (1 minute)
- Write 16 in the air one more time and say "sixteen"
Differentiation
- Support: Let learners trace a large 16 on the board with a finger before using a pencil; guide the hand for the first row
- Extension: Ask learners to write 16 three times on a whiteboard without dots
Day 3: Activities (30 minutes)
Materials
- Textbook page 37 (Tens and Ones) and page 48
- Sixteen paper boats or toy boats
- Ten-frame cards and counters
- Two boxes labelled T and O
- Number cards 10 to 20
Warm-Up (5 minutes)
- Count to twenty together, then count back from 16 to 1
- Hold up the 16 card and ask: "What number is this?"
Activity 1: Ten and Six More (8 minutes)
- Look at page 37 again. Remind learners that ten is one ten and zero ones
- Put ten boats in the T box and six boats in the O box
- Say together: "One ten and six ones make sixteen"
- Show 16 on the board: the 1 is the ten, the 6 is the six ones
Activity 2: Boat Harbour (8 minutes)
- Set out sixteen boats in a row as a "harbour"
- Ask a learner to sail one more boat in: "How many now?" (seventeen)
- Take one boat away: "How many now?" (fifteen)
- Return to sixteen and count on from ten each time: "10, 11 ... 16"
Activity 3: Fill the Frames (6 minutes)
- Each pair gets two ten-frames and counters
- Learners make 16: fill one frame and put six counters on the second
- Then they make eight and eight on the two frames and check it is still sixteen
Wrap-Up (3 minutes)
- Play "Stand up for sixteen": show number cards 10 to 20. Learners stand up when they see 16
- Praise the group
Differentiation
- Support: Use only one ten-frame plus six loose counters
- Extension: Ask: "Which number comes just before 16? Just after?" (15, 17)
Teaching Tips (from textbook)
- Draw a vertical line from the top to the bottom for 1
- The "belly" of the 6 is at the bottom
- Start at the top, then curve around and continue down to form the rounded belly
- Colour the sixteen boats at the top of the next page
