Teaching should be such that what is offered is perceived as a valuable gift rather than a hard duty .

Mathematics is infused with

logic, visual aids, fun andabove all the beauty ofnumbers.

Number before, eg: 10 Number after, eg: 21 Number between, eg: 30 32 Missing numerals Ring the smallest number .Eg: 21, 41, 61,

11 Ring the greatest number. Eg: 50,25, 37, 46 Arrange numbers from small to big eg:

17,9,28,71 Arrange numbers from big to small eg: 50, 27, 11, 32

NUMBER CONCEPTS 1-100

The stages used in teaching all Mathematical concepts would be:

Concrete Pictorial Abstract

1 bundle of 10 sticks 1 stick 1 ten 1 one 10 + 1= 11

Tens and Ones

Pictorial = 1 Ten = 10

= 1 Ten and 2 Ones = 12

Expanded notation 35 = 3 tens and 5 ones = 30 + 5 24 =___ tens and ___ ones =___ + ___

AbacusCount the beads on the Abacus and expand

T O 43

43= 4 tens + 3 ones = 40 + 3

=9

4 + 5=

* Addition is shown by using concrete objects then pictorially and then numbers and

symbols.

Pictorial addition

+

Done in progressive, step wise manner, starting from adding on the number line,

single digit (horizontal, vertical) followed by two digits (horizontal, vertical) without

carrying over.For example: 10+2= 12 (Horizontal)For example: 22 (Vertical) +10 32

Number line 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
