Numbers

Around the classroom we have a lot of numbers hung to the wall so that we can count & learn the numbers & their value.

During the first term we learned how to recognize the numbers 1, 2, 3 & 4 & their value as well. We also learned how we should write the number by feeling it on corrugated paper & sand paper. Then we wrote the number with our finger in rice & with a paintbrush with water in the yard. That way we learned how to write numbers without using pencils or crayons so that next year we will find it easier to catch up in Year 1.

These are the numbers made on sand paper & corrugated paper for us to feel their texture with our finger so that we can learn how to write them.

                      the number 1 on sand paper & the number 1 on corrugated paper

                      the number 2 on corrugated paper & the number 2 on sand paper

                      the number 3 on sand paper & the number 3 on corrugated paper

                      the number 4 on corrugated paper & the number 4 on sand paper

We also learned the value of the numbers as you can see below.






These are the songs which we sing everyday about numbers:

Here is a link to the video we watch in class:


One, two, buckle my shoe 
three, four, knock at the door 
five, six, pick up sticks 
seven, eight, lay them straight 
nine, ten, a good fat hen 
eleven, twelve, dig and delve 
thirteen, fourteen, maids in courting 
fifteen, sixteen, maids in the kitchen 
seventeen, eighteen, maids in waiting 
nineteen, twenty, my plate's empty

One, two, three, four, five

six, seven, eight, nine ,ten
then I let it go again
why did you let it go?
because it bit my finger so
which finger did it bite?
this little finger on the right
