Title: **Math: Sets of 8**

Approximate: **45 minutes**

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

Unit Objectives: ** Demonstrate number knowledge by **
 * ** counting with one-to-one correspondence **
 * ** match sets to correct numeral **
 * ** or make sets upon request **

Materials needed: ** Book __Swan Harbor__ or any counting book, counters, Math Card #14, over head projector, two-part workmat **

Warm Up: ** Review some details from the counting book __Swan Harbor__. Remind students that they counted many things in the book __Swan Harbor.__ Tell students that today we will learn about the number “eight”. **

Instructional procedures: **__Whole group activity__** ** Display Math card 14 appendix #6 and ask children to help count the flowers on the card. Write the number “8” and have students find the number “8” on the math card. Engage students in a conversation about the details of the math card. Ask students how many yellow flowers do you see? how many red flowers? how many flowers all together? ** ** Using a projector and screen, demonstrate how to make a set of eight using counters and a two-part workmat appendix #7. ** ** Show students how to place eight counters on their work mat. Help students to focus on the number of counters on each side of the work mat. Show students that there are many ways to get to the number eight. **

__Guided Practice:__ **__ Small group activities __** ** Distribute eight counters and a two-sided workmat to each student. Guide students in the hands on process of noting different ways to get to the number eight. As students are counting the counters write down what the different combinations of numbers that make eight on a poster board. Example: If a child has 5 counters on one side of the mat and 3 counters on the other. Write the number “5” draw a set of five, and then repeat with writing the number 3 and drawing a set of three. Review the poster board at the end of the small group session reviewing numbers 1-8, counting with one-to-one correspondence and matching sets to numbers. **

** For more support: Have student find many ways to get o the number eight using Mini activity #9 **

Formative assessments: ** Learning Log Activity **

Summative assessments: ** During centers the students will complete activity #4, #5 or #6. During this time teachers will use an anecdotal form in order to take observational notes on student’s performance. **
