9) Number After: Number Line
Counting Forwards 1 to 10
Understanding Activity
This is an ‘understanding’ (proficiency strand) activity . Please refer to the instructions in the Implementation Planner.
Mathematics
- Develop understanding about where numbers, from zero to ten, live on a number line and in relation to each other.
- Develop fluency locating numbers from 0 to 10 on a number line.
- Develop fluency moving right one marker on a number line to identify the number after.
Language
- one longer
- one more than (later introduce ‘one greater than’)
- one number after
Differentiation
A little easier
Locate 4, 6, 7, 8
The numbers that are most difficult to locate are 4, 6, 7 and 8. Support students to learn these by writing 1, 2, 3, 5 and 9 on the write and wipe sleeve using a dry erase marker. This will reduce the cognitive load. Students focus on learning to locate:
- 4 as one before 5
- 6 as one after 5
- 7 and 8 by counting on from 5
Once students are fluent locating 4, 6, 7 and 8 they can complete the core activity as is, without additional numbering.
