Mathematics is infused with

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

Number Concepts 1-100*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

The stages used in teaching all Mathematical concepts would be:

Concrete Pictorial Abstract

Pictorial

= 1 Ten = 10

= 1 Ten and 2 Ones = 12

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

Tens and Ones

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

Abacus

Count 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

Vocabulary used for addition

Shapes

Which holds more?

• A day to day progress in class • The skills regarding reading of

numbers, recognizing numbers, symbols, worksheets, regular class work, oral work, class test and diagnostic test.

Reinforcement to be done at home with your child, keeping in mind the method taught in school.

Reinforcement and encouragement brings about success.
