Name of Activity: Sets Basket General: Mathematics Area: Specific: Numeration Materials: Work mat, collection of 55 objects for numbers 0-10, set of number tags. Aims: Direct: To develop the Mathematical Mind, to develop logic, order and reasoning, to create awareness and appreciation for beauty our number system. Indirect: To count 0-10, to reinforce zero as an empty set. Preparation: All previous numeration work. First to second year children. Age: Presentation of the Lesson: Bring the work to a mat. Lay the number tags across the top of the mat in random order. Say to the are going to take all the sets out of the basket “We and put together the ones that are the same.” Take the objects out of the basket and lay on the mat. Group the like objects together (put into sets). Say to the child, going to choose a set of objects to count.” ”I’m Count a group of objects and match to the number tag. Carefully search for the number and place the objects beneath the number tag. Invite the child to choose a set to count. Work of the Teacher: Points of Emphasis: Laying out the number tags, grouping objects into sets, counting carefully. Language: Objects in the activity, numbers, zero as an empty set. Points of Interest: The beauty of the objects, seeing the objects change.
