43 Grade1 Objective 5: Tobuild and visualize the pattern for the countingnumbers 1 to 10. To count from any number. PD Materials: Interlocking cubes, Number Stairs Vocabulary: numberwords Towers of OneMore Each student or small group shouldhave interlocking cubes and aNumber Stair. Demonstrate each step as youwatch a student in each group follow your instructions. Todaywe are going tobuild towerswithour cubes.Wewill use a special pattern tobuild the towers. First, build a tower 1 story (1 cube) high. Now, build anew tower by following this pattern: match your old tower andmake yournew tower 1 cubeor 1 storyhigher. Watch studentsmatch 1 and add 1more cube tomake a tower of 2. Nowbuild another tower bymatching your last tower andmaking yournew tower 1 storyhigher. Continue in the samewayuntil towers up to 10 stories are built. Whatwas the special patternwe used tomake eachnew tower? (Match the old tower andmake the new tower 1 cube higher) Arrange your towerswith the shortest tower on the left and the tallest tower on the right. Touch your shortest tower and say thenumber of cubes or stories. (1) Continueuntil all towers havebeen counted. (2, 3, 4,… 10) Display aNumber Stair. This is aNumber Stair. It helps us see thepatternusedwhen counting numbers. Put each towerunder the correct number on theNumber Stair. Iwill count thenumbers out loud and touch each tower. (1, 2, 3 ...)Nowwewill count together. (1, 2, 3 ...)Now you count. SeeKey Idea strategy onpage iii in forewordor on the introductoryLesson Planpage. What is thepattern for counting numbers? (Each countingnumber is 1more than the last number.) Studentswill need the 10 towers theymade in the IntroductoryActivity. Put your towers on the correct places on the page. Count thenumber of cubes or stories in each of your towers.Write thenumbers in the circles above the towers. This pagemay be used as aNumber Stair for future activitieswith addition and subtraction. Counting from aTower:AdditionReadiness Have students begin to count forward from a number, an important readiness activity for success with addition. We are going to start counting from anumber towerup to10. Touch your 2 tower. Count aloud from2 to10.Whisper thenumber 2.Only say the numbers that come after 2 aloud. (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10) This activitywill be extendedonpage 10. Skill Builders 5-1 ©Math TeachersPress, Inc.Reproduction by anymeans is strictly prohibited.
