5th Grade : How many apples?
On the last day of term before summer vacation 5th grade students studied their last class on Hi, friends!1 Lesson 3 `How many?`. We decided to only do two classes on this topic (plus Tomilish Time) because the students really seemed like they understood everything well after one class.
The class started with a greeting game. In the first class they asked questions about their friends clothes "How many pockets?" or "How many stars?". However, in this class they asked questions about things in their house.
"How many beyblades?"
"How many pets?"
Next, we did the Hi, friends! chants. In the last class we did version 1 (numbers 1-10) and version 2 (numbers 6-15). This week we did version 3 (numbers 11-20) and version 4 (numbers 1-20).
After the chants we did the counting activity in the textbook `How many? Quiz`. Ms. Emily asked everyone questions and everyone raced to answer.
"How many dogs?"
"3 dogs!" "Me, too! 3 dogs!"
The students have started to say "Me, too!" when they agree with the first person's answer.
Next, we did the apple activity. Some of the students had the idea to use two colors. Red apples are normal apples and blue apples are `poisoned` apples. The students remembered this English from the Snow White skit that last year's 5th grade students did.
By using two colors it raises the chances that students will meet someone with the same number as them. The students could chose which question to ask: "How many apple?" or "How many poisoned apples?". It made the activity a little more interesting for them.
The students walked around and talked to many people to try and find someone with the same number of apples as them.
"How many apples?"
"7 apples."
"Me, too! Sign, please."
Everyone was using their textbook but they tried hard to make eye contact when asking and answering questions.
Great eye contact!
Well done everyone! Enjoy your summer vacation!
