How many maps are there on the wall? There are 2 maps on the wall. How many clocks are there in the class? There is 1 clock in the class.
Teaching the Class (before the handouts)
Use the flashcards to elicit and check your students’ understanding of the vocabulary and target structures.
After you’ve gone over the vocabulary and target structures, hand out the worksheets. Write all the new words on the board and have your students copy them down. (They should write the new words below each image on page 1 and write the new phrases on page 2.)
Extra
This lesson contains two extra activities. Use this page as a review if there’s time.
Work in Pairs
How many are there?
Basic Grammar Sentences
Have your students work in pairs to complete the information gap. They’ll need to ask each other how many of each object there are in the class. Students should write the number on the line under each image.
Now Work Alone
When they are finished the pair work, have your students try the follow-up activity to review their writing skills for this structure. (Make sure they are not doing the follow-up activity and pair work activity at the same time. These are meant to be done separately.)
Listening
For this task you’ll need to choose some objects and decide how many of each there are. Then read out your statements fairly quickly. Students should listen and fill in the blanks. As a follow- up, have your students compare their answers with a person sitting close to them.
Group Work
Have your students walk around the class asking each other questions to complete the survey. When they have finished, have them write a few full sentences about some of their findings.
