- Have camera ready to record photos seating up the front.
- - Those students who are being disrupted will be
separated from their friends and moved to sit

number card and ask an individual student to name the number.
They will repeat this 10 times.

5. The class will be divided into groups of about 4-5 students. They
1 min group will then be allocated a location within the classroom.

Lesson Steps (Lesson content, structure, strategies & Key Questions):

6. Once the students are divided into groups the teacher will then
provide each student with an individual number cards from 0-20
which are shuffled. The teacher will explain that the students need
to find a space in which they need to correctly order the cards from
0-20.
1 min
7. Once the activity has been explained students are to find a space
on the desks/floor to work on their sequences.
30 sec 8. The teacher will walk around asking questions/prompting students
and encouraging them if they have gotten it right and aiding those
8 min who are struggling, through the use of questions also.
9. The students will have 8 minutes to complete it this activity.
10. If the students have finished before 5 minutes the teacher can get
them to count the cards, making sure they are in the right order.
The teacher can also have another set of cards this time with the
number written in words in which the students have to order, from
0-20.
11. Once 8 minutes are up the teacher will ask the students to collect
their cards and come and sit in a circle. The teacher will explain
how to use the recording peg by holding down the button while
5 min
you are talking into it and then pass it around the circle, to the
person sitting next to you. Each student says one number before
passing it along to the next student, therefore counting from 0-
20/30 (depends on the number of students within the class). If the
students are

12. The teacher will then ask the students to find a partner, col introduced.
-lect a recording peg, a set of cards 0-20 and find a spot
within the room.The teacher will explain the next activity.
1 min
One person in the pair is going to have a recording peg
and the next is going to have the stack of cards from 0-20.
The cards must be shuffled. Those who have the stack of
cards must leave the cards and go and stand outside the
1 min classroom. Wait until I say go. The person with the record
-ing peg must record a number and give the recording peg
20 min to their partner when they come back inside. They will then
press the button to hear the number and sort through the
stack of cards to find the correct number. When you have
found the correct number you must hold it up and the over
all winner will receive a prize. After 10 numbers you will
30 sec swap roles with your partners. Are there any question?
13. The partner who has the cards must go outside the
30 sec classroom and leave the cards inside in their area/spot. The
2 min teacher will then randomly choose a number from their pile
of cards ( and have two seperate piles- ones they have
already use and ones they yet haven't used). They will then
ask those with the recording pegs to record the number for
example 15.
14. The teacher will then ask the students to come back inside
to their area and on the count of three, take the recording
peg and listen to the number and find it within their pile of
cards. The teacher will keep a tally on the board as to
which team is winning.
15. The teacher will repeat this nine more times until they tell
the partners to switch roles and re-explain the rules if
need be.
16. The Teacher will then repeat this ten more times until all
numbers from 0-20 have been called.

Lesson Closure:(Review lesson objectives with students

17. Students will be asked to return the material to the front of
the classroom and asked to sit on the mat.
18. The teacher will then reward the pair that won the last
activity.
19. The teacher will then ask the students to count backwards
starting from 20 and ending at 0.

Assessment: (Were the lesson objectives met? How will these be

judged?)
- Observe children while working as a group and responding to
questions
- The teacher will supervise groups while they are completing the
activity.
- The teacher will use photographs to later assess a childs
understanding of the order of 0-20.

- These photos will be taken during the first part of the lessons
where students have to order the numbers 0-20 and will be used
as guide to the childs understanding and knowledge.
- Next lesson will focus on what students have learnt, what
needs to be retaught and an extension. e.g., moving on to
numbers from 20-40.
