WEEK 3 – GRADE R
7.1 LESSON 1: Emergent Mathematics (Counting 1–10)
Term: Term 2
Date: 6 May 2025
Theme: My Body
Topic: Counting fingers and toes
Day: Monday
Subject: ⬤ Mathematics
Aim of the Lesson
To develop learners’ ability to count objects (fingers and toes) from 1 to 10 using one-
to-one correspondence, while connecting numerals with quantities in an engaging and
meaningful way that fosters mathematical confidence and enjoyment.
,Learning Objectives
By the end of this lesson, learners will be able to:
1. Count aloud from 1 to 10 using their own fingers and toes as concrete objects.
2. Match spoken numbers with quantities (e.g., recognising that one finger
represents “1”).
3. Demonstrate understanding of number order and number names through
integrated songs and interactive activities.
Arrival & Morning Programme
• Greetings: Warmly welcome learners with the song “Hello, Hello, What’s Your
Name?” accompanied by affirmations to build a positive classroom climate.
• Free Play 1: Structured play in the building blocks corner, puzzle area, and
drawing table to enhance fine motor coordination and cognitive flexibility.
• Free Play 2: Engagement in fantasy play (dolls and doctor role play) and
sensory exploration (beans with tweezers) to strengthen imagination and pincer
grip development.
• Morning Ring: Introduce the theme “My Body” through storytelling and action
songs, linking to prior knowledge.
• Weather Chart: Encourage oral language by allowing learners to describe the
weather and place symbols on the class chart.
• Birthdays: Celebrate learners’ birthdays with a song and update the birthday
chart to foster social inclusion.
• Theme Discussion: Facilitate an interactive discussion about body parts,
focusing on fingers and toes. Ask questions such as, “How many fingers do we
have on one hand?”
, Introduction to Lesson
Begin with the “Ten Little Fingers” song paired with finger play to introduce counting in
an enjoyable context. Model counting slowly on your own hands, encouraging learners
to mirror the actions to build confidence and conceptual understanding.
Involvement of Learners
Learners actively engage by:
• Counting their own fingers and toes aloud.
• Matching numbers with physical counters on the carpet.
• Participating in songs and responding to guiding questions such as:
o “Show me 5 fingers.”
o “Who can show me 10 fingers and 10 toes?”
These tasks promote kinaesthetic and auditory learning pathways.
Resources Used
• Flashcards displaying numbers 1–10
• Counting mats with ten frames
• Plastic counters and recycled bottle caps
• Large body chart for finger/toe labelling
• Audio and printed lyrics: “Ten Little Fingers”
• Handmade resources: Laminated body parts flashcards and tactile number
cards for multi-sensory engagement.
