Writing numbers in pairs

At the end of this week I decided to let the students work in pairs in the numeracy lesson because I was focusing in assessing what they have learnt during this week and who need more supports. The learning objectives were recognizing the numbers from1 to 10 and identify them. Both of these aims were old however we returned back to them to be sure that all the students' achieved them.  I gave each pair white board and one marker and what they had to do is each time one the pair will write the number that will show and the other students will say it. 

The students liked the section and they were totally engaged. They were also responding to my instruction and when they all finish writing they have to stop and listen to a child who was identifying the number. They were also having turns in writing the numbers and helping each other. It was the first time that they have to work in pairs while they sitting on the carpet and using the white board however they used it before but individually and in the activity corners.

Most of the students could recognize the numbers and could write them in write way and say it but some of the students were the opposite and there were two students who needs more support in both aims.

I enjoyed the lesson and the students as well however next week I will focus on the students that need support and I will let them work in small group to master these outcomes.
