Counting in Fives: Hands-On Fun!
Year 1 Mathematics Learning to count in 5s Using our hands and objects
WALT (We Are Learning To)
Count forwards and backwards in fives from 0 to 50 Explore patterns using our hands and objects Recognise multiples of five on a number line Explain the patterns we discover
Success Criteria - How We'll Know We've Succeeded
I can count forwards and backwards in 5s up to 50 using my fingers I can match objects grouped in fives to numbers I can identify multiples of 5 on a number track I can explain the pattern I notice when counting in 5s
Warm-Up: Counting Song with Actions
Let's sing our counting-in-5s song! Use your fingers to count: 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50 Now let's count backwards! Watch the pattern - we always add or take away 5
Let's Explore: Hands as Number Tools
Each hand has 5 fingers One hand = 5 Two hands = 10 Count on your fingers: 5, 10, 15, 20... Your hands are perfect counting tools!
Hands-On Group Activity: Counting with Objects
Work in groups of 5 children Use your counters to make groups of 5 Count aloud as you group: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 Use your fingers to match the numbers Help your group members count together
Let's Think: What Patterns Do You Notice?
When we count in 5s, what do you notice about the numbers? Look at: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50 What's special about these numbers? How much do we add each time?
Well Done! Let's Remember What We Learned
We can count in 5s using our fingers We can group objects in fives Counting in 5s makes a special pattern Every number ends in 0 or 5 We always add 5 to get the next number You've been fantastic mathematicians today!
