Lesson Plan

1Opening (3 min)

Welcome to today's BibleMouse math adventure! Yesterday we explored number bonds for 9 and 10. Today we'll use a fun game to discover more number combinations.

💭 Review Question: Can you tell me one way to make 10?
2Teaching (8 min)

We'll learn how to use two-color counters to explore number bonds

📌 Key Talking Points:
  • Counters have two different colors
  • When we shake and spill, we'll see how many of each color land
  • We can write down what we discover
💬 Discussion Questions:
  • What do you think might happen when we shake the counters?
  • How many different ways can we make 10?
3Activity: Counter Flip Discovery (10 min)
hands-on

Students will shake counters in a cup and record number bonds

📝 Instructions:
  1. Put 10 two-color counters in a small cup
  2. Gently shake and spill the counters
  3. Count how many of each color are showing
  4. Write the number bond on your worksheet
  5. Repeat several times
🔄 Variations:

Simpler: Use fewer counters (like 6 total)

Challenge: Try to predict the combinations before shaking

4Closing (3 min)

Review our number bond discoveries

📝 Review Questions:
  • What interesting combinations did you find?
  • How many ways can we make 10?

Coming up: Tomorrow we'll play the Make 10 Challenge game!
