Helps in developing:

  1. Numerical Skills (Number recognition, sequencing, place value)
  2. Cognitive Skills (Memory, pattern recognition, attention to details, concentration)
  3. Gross Motor Skills (Standing, walking, moving around)
  4. Fine Motor Skills (Holding a pencil, writing)
  5. Language Skills (Vocabulary building, listening, comprehension)

  4. The teacher then reveals the cards again to confirm if the numbers are the same or different and then removes the two cards.
  5. The teacher repeats this process for all the flashcards.
  6. Once all the numbers have been copied, the children can write them in sequence and identify which number is missing that they were unable to copy.

Observation:

  1. The teacher observes how well the children pay attention to the numbers and their positions.
  2. How accurately the children recall the numbers and their positions after the cards are turned face down.
  3. Ability of the children to write the numbers correctly. Are they forming the numbers legibly and in the correct sequence?
  4. How would they analyse and figure out which number was skipped?

Conclusion:
The children will be familiar with the numbers from 51 to 70.

Activity 3: Spin and Write

Objective: 
To write numbers from 51 to 70.

Importance of the activity for children:

Helps in developing:

  3. Gross motor Skills (Spinning the wheel, walking)
  4. Fine motor Skills (Holding the wheel)
  5. Language Skills (Vocabulary building, listening, comprehension, communication, developing a story)
