Implementation activity 1 Bingo!

Reflections activity 1 Bingo!Children have really enjoyed with the first part of the project: the bingo game.The fact to play this game in pairs I think that has been very useful for the students because they help each other to remember the names of the numbers in English without start counting from number one.I have to say that the children get a little bit excited, so I had to calm them down before doing the second part of the project; maybe is not a good idea to do a bingo game at the very beginning of the class.

Implementation activity 2 Fingers

Reflections activity 2 Fingers

The counting game using the fingers was great once they got it. At the beginning some pupils used to count one by one and they don't count in groups, but when they realized they can make groups and multiply it was easy and quick.

The students enjoyed thinking by themselves many fingers groups and I walked around the class checking their answers, it was great fun!

Implementation activity 3 Skip counting






Reflections activity 3 Skip counting

It was less time to practice the third part of the project. Really a pity. But I promise them to do it on another session.

The positive point is that now they all know how it works and I can take it as a CLIL resource to review numbers, addition and multiplication at any time.
