Teaching Number Sequences to Year 2 Students

Lesson - 1 TEMPLATE FOR LEARNING EXPERIENCE
Item Lesson 1: We are using out the knowledge gained regarding the numbers and identifications to learn
about the concept of number sequence.
Year level and
description
This topic is to be taught for the year 2. The students in this class will learn about the basic maths abilities
which includes the understanding of quantities and concepts such as more or less. They will learn about
the flexible ways to produce mathematical judgements.

Will work on: Investigate number sequences, initially those increasing and decreasing by twos, threes,
fives and tens from any starting point, then moving to other sequences. (ACMNA026)
Assessment
requirements
The formative form of assessment will be taken place by the teacher for this lesson are:
1. Observing the students in completing the tasks.
2. Having friendly peer quiz session.
3. Making doodles.
Learning
intentions
Number sense helps the students to develop an understanding of the size of numbers, develop multiple
ways for representing them and also developing accurate perceptions regarding the effects of operations
of numbers. This lesson will helps the students to generate results from exploring numbers (Van
Rinsveld, and et.al., 2020). It will provide them with information which helps an individual to
understand numbers and their relations with each other. This lesson is important as it makes a powerful
predictor of mathematics outcomes. The key objective behind learning numbers is to learn how to
recognise them along with writing them. I am teaching on how to have sense of all different numbers.
Success
criteria
By the end of this lesson, the students will be able to sense the numbers and will be able to differentiate
them from one another. This will be showed from the given tasks and the classroom interactions with
each child. Students will be asked to participate in a fun quiz in which they will answer the questions
regarding their knowledge about each number (Pracana, and et.al., 2017). This will be a type of revision
of what all is studied and encourage them learn the concepts.

Differentiatio
n
The teaching of this topic in mathematics is done with the help of providing different types of content and
setting up a learning station. The students have a flexible seating plan which means that they can sit
where they are comfortable. Each learning station is set to use a different learning method. It is divided
into three learning stations. One at which pictures will be used to produce numbering sense. At the station
two, the students will be watch a video of each number explaining what it stands for. The last station is
the creating artwork where the students will use their knowledge and ideas to draw doodles of numbers.
This will help them differentiate the numbers.
A lesson
starter
This lesson will start from showing the students the chart consisting all the numbers and explaining what
each stands for. This lesson is mostly based on the visual learning. Tell the students that this topic is very
important for future and will learn them for next few lessons. Hand out students sheet papers on which
they will match the numbers with the number of fruits drawn in that sheet. They will also give responses
in these sheets about what is the one thought they have related to the number sensing, the question and
doubts they have about this topic and where will they use number sensing in real life. These responses
will be taken on the oral basis and not written. The doubts will be cleared in front of the whole class.
Resources
The resources
required were
pictures,
representing the
numbers, and
internet and book
for making the
questions and tasks
for the lesson.
The body of
the lesson
The main body of this lessons lies in the fun activities and visualisation tasks done in classroom. Each
student will be asked to sense the number of pens which will be drawn on the board . Each student will
write and say out loud the number from their answer. The next activity will be opposite where the number
will be written and the students will come forward to draw the pens associated with that number (Nam,
Kim and Jung, 2019). They will represent the fruits using the numbers. This will build their
understanding about the numbers and their representation.
The students in this lesson will learn only the basis of visualisation. The pictures are the best way to make
them visualise the use of each number. The next step is by showing them videos. This will make the
students be more active and learn with the help of story showed in the video. The last step is art work
doodling where each student will be handed a sheet and some colours. This task will help in bringing out
the creative side of the students as well as will depict the things which they understood. The lesson will
end with a fun quiz session where question will be asked from the material studies in this lesson. This
will test the knowledge gain by the students and rewarding points in the quiz will encourage them to do
better next time.

A plenary A feedback will be collected from each student where they will say yes to the things they understood
from the session. They will mention the areas where the teaching lack and left them in doubt. It helps in
assessing the learning for each student and make judgements regarding the step moving forward for the
lesson 2 in which the relations between number will be explained.
Lesson - 2 TEMPLATE FOR LEARNING EXPERIENCE
Item Lesson 2: we are using knowledge to know relationship between numbers.
Year level and
description
This topic will be taught for two years to the students so that they can know the relationship between
various numbers. Relationship within numbers consists of addition, subtraction, multiplication etc.

description/s
Working towards knowing the increasing or decreasing orders by twos, threes, tens etc. which will help
students in assisting them in calculations so that they can solve various problems (Mao and et.al., 2019).
Assessment
requirements
Observing very carefully every students which will tell that what they have understood. By seeing body
language and gestures of individuals teacher will get idea that students have understood what is taught in
the class or not. Teachers can give various practice exercises to the students. By checking the exercises
they will come to know that what students have actually learnt and where improvement is required.
Learning
intentions
The learning objective of this is that students can know the relation between numbers and should also
understand the increasing and decreasing value of two, threes etc. this lesson will be helpful to the
students to learn various concepts of maths like addition, subtraction, multiplication etc. this is the
basics of mathematics and it is very important that students must have knowledge related to this.
Success By the end of this lesson students should have understood the relations within various numbers and
should have also know that why numbers are dependent on each other. They will also get clear about the
