This lesson introduces the first quadrant of the coordinate plane. Activity A gives the children practice in plotting a point on the grid, using given coordinates. Activity B provides an exercise in naming the coordinates of a point.
Odd and Even Numbers
This lesson introduces the concept of odd and even numbers. Activity A requires children to identify sets of odd and even numbers. Activity B is an exercise in skip-counting odd and even numbers.
Prime Numbers
This lesson introduce prime and composite numbers. It gives the children an opportunity to use the sieve method to identify the prime numbers from 1 to 100.
Introducing Polygons
This lesson assumes knowledge of basic shapes. It builds on this knowledge by identifying and naming a number of the more common polygons.
Learning About Subtraction
This lesson introduces the concept of subtraction. The reading is designed to be used by the children themselves, but at this level the teacher may wish to use it as a shared reading activity.
