Lesson 29: Grobby%u2019s exercise path to 12Grobby Six Bricks loves to keep fit by running, jumping and skipping up and down the new path in the garden. There are no numbers written on the paving stones, but we can work out the order for each relative to each other. He likes to sing and count as he jumps along the path. He can make small jumps 1 by 1 or sometimes he can make really long jumps from %u2018zero%u2019 all the way to 12.TasksPhotocopy %u2018Grobby%u2019s Exercise Path to 12%u2019 for each student. Once all the oral activities above are completed, the students can fill in the numbers, or perhaps put the pages aside for follow-up oral work on subtraction, counting back, doubles and near doubles.Learning outcomes%u2022 We are learning to count up and down in intervals from 0 to 12%u2022 We are learning to use our number knowledge of 5 and 10 to quickly find other numbersProcedureLet%u2019s pretend that an upright brick is Grobby.Jump along from %u20180%u2019, 1 jump at a time and count up: 1, 2 , 3, 4, 5 %u2026%u2026%u2026%u202612.Start on 12 and jump back, 1 jump at a time and count down: 12, 11, 10, 9, %u2026%u2026%u2026%u20261.Jump along from %u20180%u2019, 2 jumps at a time and count up: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12.Jump backwards from 12 taking 2 jumps at a time and count up: 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 0.Now count up the number line 1 by 1, drawing attention to the broken line at 5 and the broken line at 10.At this point, if you were to ask them to place a brick on 4, children should be looking at 1 less than 5, or 12 is 2 more than 10. They should be using their growing number knowledge and understanding to locate and pinpoint unknown numbers in relation to known numbers. We are using a shapes code to check and confirm the number of each paving stone. We have a circle, square, star, half-circle, rectangle and heart above the line 1 to 6 and below the line 7 to 12.Test and reinforce%u2022 Can everybody place a red brick on 5? Mary, what shape is beside your 5? (Teacher, a circle). Is there a circle beside everybody%u2019s red brick? That is correct.%u2022 Can everybody place a yellow brick on 11? Jack, what object is beside your 11? (Teacher, a pair of ice-skates). Is there a pair of ice-skates beside everybody%u2019s yellow brick? That is correct. Follow up: Jack, how did you find where 11 was? (Hopefully, he says it is 1 more than 10)%u2022 Can everybody place a dark blue on 9? (Most children should pick it out pretty quickly by going for 1 less than 10. Watch for anyone counting from 0, as this indicates weak number knowledge, requiring further intervention and targeted support)%u2022 Can everybody place a red on 7? Can everybody place a light blue brick on 3?%u2022 Can everybody place a green on 5 plus 3? (Here, you are watching for the counting on strategy being used i.e. counting on from 5 %u2026%u2026 6, 7, 8.)%u2022 What number is beside the star? (3) What number is beside the flag? (12)%u2022 Put an orange brick on 12 take away 4. What number did you land on? What object is beside this number?60
