Numbers 7 - 12
Teaching objectives:
Children will learn the numbers from seven to twelve; they will respond to the question 'How much is that?'.
New language content:
Ça fait combien? - How much is that?
sept - seven
huit - eight
neuf - nine
dix - ten
onze - eleven
douze - twelve
c'est le numéro sept - it's the number seven
Previous knowledge:
This section builds on greetings and numbers to six.
Notes:
- The correct word for 'number', when referring to a number in a calculation, is un nombre, eg c'est un grand nombre - it's a big number. The correct word for a number in a sequence is un numéro, eg Numéro un, silence!
- Notice the reinforcement in the song that the X at the end of a number is silent when followed by a consonant, e.g. di(x) baguettes.
- The consonant at the end of a number is pronounced when followed by a vowel, eg deux_euros; when shopping (see En France) it is easy to confuse this price with douze euros or dix_euros.
- The numbers could be compared in English and French (and other languages).
- The interactive game depicts the current craze of the cartoon characters - collecting alien bouncing balls; this will be a recurrent theme.
- Children can compare different currencies and prices (see En France)
Reinforcement:
- Have a guessing game where children guess how many items are held behind a child's back.
- Use the numbers to begin warm-up sessions in Mental Maths.
Printable stuff:
- Prepare children for the worksheet by ensuring that they are familiar with the written form of the numbers, using a poster or matching text to picture game.
Answers:
un deux trois
dix onze sept
douze quatre cinq
trois neuf cinq
deux six douze
trois quatre cinq
six sept huit
huit neuf dix
Extension:
- Children create a number quiz or puzzle of their own, using pictures of sweets. If possible reproduce these for the class to do.
