5th Grade : Let's count the balls!
5th grade students recently had their second lesson on the topic Hi, friends!1 Lesson 3 `How many?`. These students studied telling the time last year as well as the numbers 1-60 so in this class we studied the numbers 1-100.
We started class with a greeting game. Ms. Emily and one of the students gave a demonstration using the phrase `How many?`.
"How many diamonds?"
"Let's count. 1, 2, 3, 4...oh! So many!"
After watching the demonstration it was time for the other students to ask each other.
"How many letters?"
"How many circles?"
After the greeting game Ms. Emily and Ms. Mayumi did Teacher Talk.
"Look at my pencil case."
"Wow! It's so big!"
"Guess! How many pens and pencils?"
"Hmmm... maybe 10?"
All the students also guessed the numbers of pens and pencils in Ms. Mayumi's pencil case.
Then, everyone checked together.
"Let's count!"
"1, 2, 3, 4..."
After that we decided to find out which student had the most pens and pencils in their pencil case. Everyone stood up and we counted together. When the student finished counting they sat down. The last person standing had the most pens and pencils.
"Hmmm...how many pens and pencils?"
After that, we did the chants from Let's Try!1 Unit 3 `How many?`.
The students tried to do actions while saying as much of the chant as they could.
Next, we counted the balls that the 1st grade students used during sports day. The four classes want to make the competition fair so they need four sets of the same number of balls. In order to do this the 5th grade students needed to count all the balls.
Everyone counted together in small groups. It was important to count as a group so everyone could practice counting.
The groups did their best to count carefully.
After each of the groups had finished we asked them "How many balls?".
We collected all the results together so we knew which colour of balls had the least amount.
This team had 44 balls!
We added all the numbers together in English.
"51 plus 49 equals?"
"100!"
"That's right!"
Then we asked all the students to count out 88 balls so that each class would have the same amount.
Everyone took turns at putting the balls into the box while counting together.
It was very easy to lose count so everyone had to count carefully together!
It was a fun activity to do together. Everyone felt happy when they counted everything perfectly!
Good job everyone! 1st grade students can now use the balls in their P.E. classes!
