2. Why is it important for us to count natural numbers correctly?

3. How can we use counting natural numbers in our daily lives?

4. Did anyone find an interesting fact about natural numbers? Could you share it with the class?

5. How do you think counting natural numbers can be useful in different professions?

Development

Duration: 70 to 80 minutes

The Development phase aims to provide a practical and interactive experience, where students apply and deepen their knowledge of counting natural numbers less than 100 through playful activities contextualized in the digital world. The proposed activities encourage not only learning but also collaboration, creativity, and the use of digital technologies.

Activity Suggestions

It is recommended that only one of the suggested activities be carried out

Activity 1 - The Counting Influencers

> Duration: 60 to 70 minutes

- Objective: Teach counting natural numbers less than 100 in a creative and engaging way, encouraging communication and collaboration.

- Description: Students will be divided into groups to create a short video in the style of a 'digital influencer' explaining and teaching how to count natural numbers less than 100. They can use video editing apps like TikTok or Instagram Reels to add music, special effects, and transitions.

- Instructions:

• Form groups of up to 5 students.

• Choose a fun theme or scenario (for example, a toy store, an amusement park).

• Write a script for the video, including an introduction, counting explanation, and practical examples.

• Use video recording and editing apps on their cell phones to film and edit the video.

• Add interactive elements like questions for viewers to answer in the comments.

• Publish the video on a chosen platform and share the link with the class.

Activity 2 - Numerical Treasure Hunt

> Duration: 60 to 70 minutes

- Objective: Develop skills in counting and identifying natural numbers less than 100 through a practical and interactive activity.

- Description: Students will participate in a digital treasure hunt where they will need to search for and identify numbered objects in pre-selected photos or videos. Each object will have a natural number less than 100. They will use cell phones to take photos or make videos documenting their findings.

- Instructions:

• Form groups of up to 5 students.

• Distribute a list of numbered objects that students need to find.

• Students should use their cell phones to take photos or record videos as they find the objects.

• After finding all the objects, students will create a digital presentation (using tools like Google Slides or PowerPoint) to show their findings and explain the counting.

• Each group will present their findings and explain how they identified each number.

Activity 3 - Gamification Challenge: Virtual Counting

> Duration: 60 to 70 minutes

- Objective: Reinforce counting natural numbers less than 100 in a playful and fun way, using game elements to increase engagement.

- Description: Students will use a gamification app (like Kahoot! or Quizizz) to participate in a counting challenge of natural numbers less than 100. The teacher will create a series of interactive questions that students will answer in real-time, earning points.

- Instructions:

• Form groups of up to 5 students.

• The teacher will create an interactive quiz using a gamification app, with questions related to counting natural numbers less than 100.

• Students will connect to the quiz using their cell phones or computers.

• Each group will discuss and answer the questions in real-time.

• The app will calculate and display each group's points at the end of the quiz, encouraging friendly competition.

• Discuss the answers and clarify any doubts after the quiz is finished.

Feedback

Duration: (20 to 25 minutes)

The Return stage aims to consolidate learning, allowing students to reflect and share their experiences. This moment of knowledge exchange and feedback promotes a deeper understanding of the content, encourages communication skills, and strengthens group cohesion.

Group Discussion

 Group Discussion: Promote a group discussion where students share their experiences and conclusions from doing the activities. Follow the suggested outline:

1. Begin by thanking students for their effort in the activities.
2. Ask each group to present a summary of their activity, highlighting the challenges and discoveries made.

Reflections

1. 樂 Reflection Questions: To guide the group discussion, use the following questions:

• What was the biggest challenge your group faced during the activities?
• How did the activities help to understand counting natural numbers less than 100 in a fun and practical way?
• How did collaboration in the group contribute to the success of the activity?

360° Feedback

 360° Feedback: Instruct students to give and receive feedback from their peers with whom they worked. Explain that the feedback should be constructive and respectful. Use the following outline:

1. Each student should provide positive feedback about something they appreciated in their peer's work.
2. Next, each student should mention one aspect that could be improved.
3. Conclude by asking each group to share a lesson learned from the feedback received.
