Title: **Math: Sets of 6**

Approximate: **45 minutes**

Goals (What are students able to do?): **Counts concrete objects to five or higher**

Instructional Objectives: ** Students will demonstrate number knowledge by- **
 * ** counting with one-to-one correspondence **
 * ** match sets to correct numeral **
 * ** or make sets upon request **

Materials needed: ** Book __Pumpkins All Around__, pumpkin counters, calendar, Math Card #12 **

Warm Up: ** The teacher will read the story __Pumpkins All Around__ and discuss what season pumpkins grow. Tell students that today we will learn about the number “six”. **

Instructional procedures: ** __Whole group activity__ ** ** Display Math card #12 appendix #3 and ask children what they see in the picture. Discuss how many small pumpkins? big pumpkins? pumpkins in all? etc. Repeat with peppers. Write the number “6” and have students find the number “6” on the math card. Distribute pumpkin counters and a counter mat. Ask students to show three pumpkins, four pumpkins and so on up to six. (Can be used as a pre assessment) **

Guided Practice: **__Small group activities__** ** A: Review the skill of arranging pumpkin counters first to last. Guide students in the skill of counting with one to one correspondence. To help students grasp counting with one-to-one correspondence students can work on mini activity #5. ** ** B: Guide children in using the math puzzle mini-activity #4. Demonstrate how to count items on the math puzzle pieces and how to find the corresponding numeral so that the puzzle pieces fit correctly. Students can continue matching sets to numerals by completing mini-activity #6. ** ** C. Students will draw a number card 1-6 from a paper bag and hunt for objects in the classroom and create sets that match their number card. Students can continue to create sets by completing mini-activity #7. **

Formative assessments: **__ Whole group circle time __** ** Show students different numerals one through six. Say “If you know what number this is, hold the same amount fingers.” **

Summative assessments: ** Students will be assessed according to their small group tasks. See Rubric Lesson #2 ** ** A: Can students count with one-to-one corresponence? ** ** B: Can students match numerals to sets 1-6? ** ** C : Can students follow oral directing using bear or pumpkins counters. Show me five? four? six? **
