Two Six One Five 1. Counting numbers (2weeks) Objects Let’s count numbers exactly Let’s confirm numbers with moving the ball 1st stage Numbers until 10 Methode1 Always move ball to right from left to avoid confusion With moving ball from right to left, count from1 to 10 Methode2 Oppositely, with moving from left to right , deduct 10 to 1 § We teach 0 later. § Let’s start counting slowly at first and increase the speed later Development 1. Make the example in first stage in he below. 2. Make the same number with copying the example
Fourteen Twenty 2nd stage Numbers until 20 Methode1 With moving ball from right to left, count from1 to 20 Methode2 Oppositely, with moving from left to right , deduct 20 to 1 Fourteen Six
One, two,three,…. sixtreen. There are sixteen How many carrot are there? Development 1. Place the cards from 1 to 20 in the paper bag. 2. Take one card and ask the students to copy this number 3. Initially count the number 16 of card. Make the same number 16 with ball Strategy Let’s make the students have the image of volume visually with moving the ball. It is effective to use abacus for teacher demonstrate
2. Explain the numbers with figure (2 weeks) object Let’s understand the relation between the numbers and the figures. Let’s replace the numbers with the figure. 1st stage Numbers until10 Methode1 Increase the number of ball in each stage to make the stairs. Count from 1 to 10 with confirming the numbers of figures in each stage
How many pineapples are there ? One, two, tree, four, five. This is five ! 5 Methode2 Show the cards from 1 to 10. Ex. « How many pineapple are there ?» Ask the students to move the ball Confirm the numbers with the students with counting. (With showing the card) « There are 5 » It is not necessary to count the number from 1. It is possible to count from 6 to count 6, 7, 8, 9,10.
Nul Zero 0 How many cucumbers are there? One, two, tree,……,fourteen. It is fourteen! 14 2nd stage Number zero « 0 » When there is nothing, we explain it zero with showing the card nothing 3rd stage Numbers until 20 Ask the student «How many ?» with showing the card from 0 to 20. Ask the students to move to move ball Confirm numbers with the students with counting.
Strategy Volume, Number and Figure are the different concepts. It is important to unify those three concepts in the mathematics especially in the beginning. We can find the students to use their finger to count. This is the first experience to unify the (concrete) number and figure. But teacher train the student to use their finger from 5. Also to count the number with ball, Students should count the number from 6,11,16. This technique is practical to use the ruler.
Enveloppe Enveloppe Indicate the 3rd ball from top 3 3. Count ordinal number (2 weeks) object Let’s understand how to count ordinal number 1st stage Count ordinal number simply a) Move every ball to right. Place the cards from 1 to 10 in the paper bag and take one. Ask the students «Indicate the3rd ball from top » Ask the students «Indicate the3rd ball from bottom» b) Move every ball to right. Ask the students «Indicate the3ed ball from right » Ask the students «Indicate the3ed ball from left» Indicate the 5th ball from left Here 5
Enveloppe 6 2 Indicate the ball 2nd from top and 6th from left 2nd stage Count with 2 direction a) Move every ball left Place the cards from 1 to 10 in the paper bag and take two. Ask the students «Indicate the ball 2nd from top and 6th from left» Here
5th from top and , 8th from left Where is the 48th ball? 3rd stage conclusion of ordinal number Ask the students « Where is the 48th ball?» «5th from top and , 8th from left» Strategy It is important to learn how to count from the specific point. We should repeat he exercise from top, bottom, right and left. This experience has close relation to count the number until 100
14 18 Which is biggger? down ! How much is the difference of balls? Two 4. Compare the numbers (2 weeks) object Let’s compare two numbers and tree numbers. 1st stage Which is bigger ? Methode1 prepare balls which show two number. Ask the students«Which is bigger ?» Confirm two numbers with moving ball left. Repeat with tree numbers Development Comparer numbers with two figure Strategy It is necessary to count every ball.. What is important is to compare the number of the ball in second stage
1 and 4 are 5 2 and 3 are 5 3 and 2 are 5 4 and 1 are 5 5. Compositions (2 month) object understand the composition until 101st stage Let’s compose 5 a) Show example with moving 5 balls left on top. b) Prepare the numbers des balls one and one in every stage c) Ask the students in 2nd stage «How many balls is necessary to make 5 ?» d) Ask same question in 3rd stage and others. e) Move balls with counting one by one with constant rhythm. In 2nd stage «1 and 4 are 5» In 3rd stage «2 and 3 are 5» In 4th stage «3 and 2 are 5» In 5th stage «4 and 1 are 5» In 6th stage «0 and 5 are 5» 5 and 0 are 5 To make 5, How many balls are necessaire ?
2nd stage Let’s compose 10 a) Show one example with moving 10 balls in the center of every stage b) Move balls with counting with constant rhythm. In 1st stage «10 is 1 and 9» In 2nd stage «10 is 2 and 8» In 3rd stage «10 is 3 and 7» In 4th stage «10 is 4 and 6» In 5th stage «10 is 5 and 5» In 6th stage «10 is 6 and 4» In 7th stage «10 is 7 and 3» In 8th stage «10 is 8 and 2» In 9th stage «10 is 9 and 1» In 10th stage «10 is 10 and 0» c) Compose 10 with moving balls from right to left. In 1st stage «1 and 9 are 10» In 2nd stage «2 and 8 are 10» In 3rd stage «3 and 7 are 10» In 4th stage «4 and 6 are 10» In 5th stage «5 and 5 are 10» In 6th stage «6 and 4 are 10» In 7th stage «7 and 3 are 10» In 8th stage «8 and 2 are 10» In 9th stage «9 and 1 are 10» In 10th stage «10and 0 are 10»
8 and 0 are 8 7 and 1 are 8 4 and 4 are 8 6 and 2 are 8 Compose 8 2 and 6 are 8 1 and 7 are 8 3 and 5 are 8 5 and 3 are 8 3rd stage Let’s compose several numbers a) Prepare several numbers in each stage less than 8. b) Ask the students «Compose 8» c) Compose in each stage with moving balls from right to left. d) Try with other numbers Strategy Composition help understanding addition and subtraction

If the students can get enough sense,for multiplication, they can calicle much easier the multiplication in the below 12 × 13 100 20 10 30 6 3 13(10+3)coloms
TRIA I won ! Let’s play with dice. a)Move 5 balls left in each stage. b)Chose 2 students and ask them to throw one dice . The point of left student is 1 The point of right student is 4 The point is 2 The point is 6 The right win. c)Let’s change the students every time to motivate the participation. Through the game, students start calculation automatically.
