Daily Lesson Plan -- Lesson 18

Number 18

Subject: Maths | Class: Nursery | Series: Skillford


Overview

This lesson introduces the number 18. Learners look at eighteen colourful pencils standing in three rows of six on a classroom desk and count them together. They learn that nine pencils and nine more make eighteen, and that 18 is one ten and eight ones. On the second day they trace 18 with a finger and a pencil and colour the eighteen pencils at the top of page 53. On the third day they make 18 with tens and ones, build a pencil raft, and find one more and one less. Talk stays oral and playful; writing is limited to the numeral.

Learning Outcomes (from textbook)

  • Recognise the number 18 and say its name
  • Count eighteen objects
  • Trace and write the number 18

Key Vocabulary

  • eighteen
  • pencil
  • wood
  • raft
  • nine and nine more

Page Label

  • "Eighteen Pencils"

Day 1: Look and Say (30 minutes)

Materials

  • Textbook page 52
  • Eighteen pencils and a pencil cup
  • A calculator
  • Ten-frame cards and counters
  • A small piece of wood or a twig

Circle Time Warm-Up (4 minutes)

  • Count together from 1 to 20, stamping feet on every number
  • Write a big 18 on the board and say "eighteen" slowly
  • Show ten fingers, then eight more (a partner helps): "Ten and eight make eighteen"

Little Explorers (5 minutes)

  • Science card: pencils are made from wood. Count eighteen pencils in a cup
  • Show a pencil next to the piece of wood and let learners feel both
  • Learners drop the pencils into the cup one at a time, counting aloud up to eighteen

Look and Say (8 minutes)

  • Open page 52 and point to the big 18. Say "eighteen" and learners repeat
  • Read the label in the cloud together: "Eighteen Pencils"
  • Count the pencils row by row: three rows with six pencils in each
  • Ask: "Where are the pencils?" (on a desk in a classroom)
  • Find the black pencil, the brown pencil and the two pink ones
  • Count all eighteen pencils again, one learner touching each pencil

Little Innovators (3 minutes)

  • Technology card: on a calculator, press 1 then 8 to make 18
  • Let learners take turns to press 1, then 8, and read the screen together

Little Builders (4 minutes)

  • Engineering card: lay eighteen pencils side by side to make a raft
  • Learners lay the pencils flat, touching each other, counting as they go
  • Ask: "Could a little toy sit on our raft?" Place a small toy on top

Little Thinkers (4 minutes)

  • Maths card: nine pencils and nine more make eighteen pencils
  • Put nine pencils in one group and nine in another
  • Count the first nine, then count on: "10, 11 ... 18"
  • Ask: "Are the two groups the same?" (yes, nine and nine)

Wrap-Up (2 minutes)

  • Hold an imaginary pencil and write 18 in the air together
  • Wave goodbye to the pencils: "Bye-bye, eighteen pencils!"

Differentiation

  • Support: Count the pencils on page 52 one row at a time, with your finger on each pencil
  • Extension: Ask confident learners to count from 18 back to 10

Day 2: Trace the Number (30 minutes)

Materials

  • Textbook pages 52-53
  • Pencils and crayons
  • A tray of sand or salt
  • Number cards 10 to 20

Warm-Up (5 minutes)

  • Show page 52 again and say together: "Eighteen Pencils"
  • Find 18 among the number cards 10 to 20
  • Draw 18 in the air: a straight 1, then the 8

Little Artists: Sand Tracing (5 minutes)

  • Learners trace 18 in the sand tray with one finger
  • For 1: straight down from the top
  • For 8: start at the top, draw the top curve, pause, change direction and draw a second curve the same size underneath
  • Smooth the sand and try again

Look at Page 53 (4 minutes)

  • Point to the big outline 18 and the label "Eighteen Pencils"
  • Count the pencils at the top together: two big pencils and sixteen small pencils make eighteen
  • 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 18 from the green dots, following the arrows
  • Rows 3 and 4: only the arrows and the starting dots are shown. Learners write 18 on their own
  • Remind learners to pause in the middle of the 8 before changing direction
  • Praise every careful try: "Your two loops are the same size!"

Little Artists: Colour the Pencils (3 minutes)

  • Arts card: colour the eighteen pencils at the top of page 53
  • Learners use a different colour for each pencil and count as they go

Wrap-Up (1 minute)

  • Write 18 in the air one more time and say "eighteen"

Differentiation

  • Support: Let learners trace a large 18 on the board with a finger before using a pencil; guide the hand for the first row
  • Extension: Ask learners to write 18 three times on a whiteboard without dots

Day 3: Activities (30 minutes)

Materials

  • Textbook pages 37 and 52
  • Eighteen pencils or crayons
  • Rubber bands
  • Ten-frame cards and counters
  • Number cards 10 to 20

Warm-Up (5 minutes)

  • Count to twenty together, then count back from 18 to 1
  • Hold up the 18 card and ask: "What number is this?"

Activity 1: A Bundle of Ten (8 minutes)

  • Look at page 37 again. Remind learners that ten ones make one ten
  • Count out ten pencils and wrap them with a rubber band: "One ten"
  • Put eight loose pencils beside the bundle: "Eight ones"
  • Say together: "One ten and eight ones make eighteen"

Activity 2: Pencil Cup (8 minutes)

  • Put eighteen pencils in a cup
  • Take one out: "How many now?" (seventeen)
  • Put two back: "How many now?" (nineteen)
  • Return to eighteen and count on from the bundle of ten each time

Activity 3: Nine and Nine (6 minutes)

  • Each pair gets two ten-frames and counters
  • Learners put nine counters on each frame and count all of them
  • Then they move counters to fill one frame and check it is still eighteen (ten and eight)

Wrap-Up (3 minutes)

  • Play "Pencils Up": show number cards 10 to 20. Learners hold a pencil up high when they see 18

Differentiation

  • Support: Count the eight loose pencils first, then the ten in the bundle
  • Extension: Ask: "Which number comes just before 18? Just after?" (17, 19)

Teaching Tips (from textbook)

  • Draw a vertical line from the top to the bottom for 1
  • Draw the top curve and pause briefly before changing direction
  • Then draw a second curve that is identical to the first one for 8
  • Colour the eighteen pencils at the top of the next page
