1.12 Les nombres de 13 à 31 Numbers 13 to 31

Pupils are already familiar with the numbers 0 -12 and the months of the year. Learning the numbers 13-31 will now enable them to talk about dates, such as when their birthdays are.

They can also embark on a wider range of mathematical activities, paving the way towards using French in class when telling the time, calculating with money, and measuring weight, length and speed.

Films to see A1. Numbers 13 to 20 B1. Numbers 21 to 31 B2. Song

They can also use French numbers to talk about scores in games, such as Pétanque, also known as ‘Boules’ - which is featured in Ch1.10.

Part A: Numbers 13-20 Planning your lessons

NEW WORDS AND PHRASES

This section builds on previous work on numbers 0-12. In part A, we focus on learning numbers 13-20 - and see that there is a pattern that repeats with higher numbers (up to 70). Most of the activities will work just as well with numbers 21-31.

Children may rarely see the numbers written out as words, but knowing how they are spelled helps them remember the words.

Activities

Warm up

Before watching film A1, have a brief “warm up” session to revise the numbers 0-12.

Watch film 12: A1 “Numbers 13-20”

As in Ch.1.6: “Les nombres 0-12”, only the

vingt-et-un* vingt-deux vingt-trois vingt-quatre vingt-cinq vingt-six vingt-sept vingt-huit vingt-neuf trente trente-et-un*

bingo - bingo

❑ Film A1 starts with animated numbers 13- 20.

Film A1: an animated “dix-sept” turns into “dix-huit”.

treize quatorze quinze seize dix-sept dix-huit dix-neuf vingt

HOW FRENCH WORKS 1: Spot the pattern in the numbers

Respond with understanding

❑ Reading aloud: Show ‘Numbers 13-20’ on the e-flashcards, now with sound and text OFF .

Show each number in order, and ask pupils to say the words, e.g. “quatorze”.

Once pupils have learnt the French for 13 to 16 they will find it simple to spot the logical pattern of higher numbers, using their familiarity with the numbers 1-9.

Pronouncing the numbers involves some typical French sounds which can be tricky see “key sounds”.

❑ Give each pupil a flashcard representing a number. When you call out “20”, for example, all the children with the card number 20 hold it up for everyone else to see, and so on. ❑ Play “jump to the number” Divide the class into two teams. Each team has an identical set of cards numbered 13-21. When you call out a number, the pupils holding that particular card try to be the first to jump up and call out the number.

Film A1: a “Bingo” activity in a French class.

Teacher: Pupils:” Teacher: Pupil: Teacher:

“15”.

“Oui!”

“Attention ... 16. Attention ... le 7...”

“Bingo!”

“Très bien. Bravo! Tu as gagné.”

KEY SOUNDS

Listen and enjoy copying this typical sound: where have you heard it before?

(Very good. Bravo! You've won)

The pupil calls out the winning numbers: Pupil: “7, 9, 2, 10, 5, 15, 20, 19, 14, 17”.

Teacher: “Très bien. Bravo! Bravo!”

Get used to the sounds

as in quinze and vingt

juin, cinq, lapin, bien, combien

Heard before in:

as in treize and seize

❑ Echoing: Show the e-flashcards; start with sound and text ON. Display each picture starting with the familiar numbers 0-12 and continuing through to 20. Pupils echo the words, e.g. “treize”.

Heard before in:

mai, frère

as in quatorze and quinze

Heard before in:

cinq, combien,

as in trente

Heard before in:

blanc, serpent,

as in But NOT in:

Switch OFF the text; pupils echo the phrase again. Pay particular attention to the “key sounds”(see box) and also those from Ch.1.6. n Spot the pattern(s): compare how the numbers are made in French and in English as you go up from 13 to 20.

vingt

vingt et un...

Part B: Numbers 21-31 Watch film B1: “Numbers 21-31”

❑ Watch film B1.

Get used to the sounds

❑ Echoing: Now show the numbers 21-31 on the e-flashcards, with sound and text ON. Show each number and pupils echo the words, e.g. “vingt-deux”.

Film B1: Animated “vingt-cinq” replaces “vingt-quatre”.

Animated numbers 21-31 The numbers 21-31 appear on screen as the pronunciation of each number is heard.

Film B1: Counting bounces on the beach club trampoline.

Bouncing on the trampoline Children count from 1-31 as one of their friends bounces on the trampoline at the beach club.

Playing hide and seek: “cache-cache” One child (Amélie) counts from 1-30 whilst the other children run away to hide.

Switch OFF the text; pupils echo the phrase again. Pay particular attention to the key sounds. ❑ Play “It’s that sound again” Now that the new words and sounds are familiar, pick out a “key sound” from this chapter’s new words. Ask children to suggest all the French words they know that also contain that sound. As the children’s vocabulary is expanding, you can repeat this with some of the other sounds. This will help them remember the French they already know. ❑ Play “Find the sound”where children find an example of a “key sound” in a number of word-cards scattered on the floor, and the whole class says that word. ❑ More number: 31-39 When children are confident with the numbers 1-31, use the e-flashcards to show them how easy it is to continue counting up to 39.

Respond with understanding

Film B1: Hide and seek.

When she s p ots h er frien d Tati an a hiding she calls out “1,2,3 - vu Tatiana!”

(1,2,3 - I’ve seen you Tatiana!)

She says this again when she finds Benoît: “1,2,3 - vu Benoît!”

❑ Give each pupil a flashcard representing a number 21-31. When you call out “29”, for example, all the children with the card number 29 hold it up for everyone else to see, and so on. ❑ Play “jump to the number” again As before, divide the class into two teams.

This time, give children two identical sets of numbered cards from 1 to 31.

trente-six trente-sept trente-huit trente-neuf

It is best not to try to learn too many numbers all at once. If you are confident with your French, and your pupils are coping well with the numbers 1-31, use the e-flashcards to introduce counting up to 39.

degrés - degrees

When pupils are measuring temperatures they can either simply say the number, or they can say “20 degrés” etc.

CLASSROOM INTERACTION These are useful words and phrases to use when playing games:

bravo! - bravo! tu as gagné - you've won The pronunciation of these extra words and phrases can be heard on the Talking Dictionary.

CROSS CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

❑ Numeracy: Whenever you need a pupil to count something out (e.g. books, pencils) encourage him/her to do it in French. ❑ Numeracy: When pupils are familiar with the numbers 1-31, they can practise them every day in a whole range of ways: e.g.

■ counting backwards ■ counting forwards starting from a

number chosen at random ■ counting backwards starting from a

number chosen at random ■ counting forwards and backwards in

multiples of two, three and four, e.g.

2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20

3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30 ❑ Numeracy: Remove the jokers, jacks, queens and kings from a pack of playing cards. Shuffle the cards and place them in two piles.

❑ Play “hide the number” This is a memory test. Attach a series of six numbers to the board in order for children to say and remember in French. Now “hide” one of the numbers. The class see if they can still chant the whole sequence in French. Continue until all the numbers are “hidden”. ❑ Play “swap numbers” Pupils arrange their chairs in a circle. Give everybody a numbered flashcard, making sure that there are several children holding each number. Make sure that you too have a number.

When you call out “15” for example, the pupils with the card showing “15” swap places.

As they do so, you run for an empty chair. The pupil left without a chair becomes the caller.

Ask two pupils to select a card, one from each pile. The rest of the class has to say the figure the two cards add up to. ❑ Numeracy: play “Dot-to-dot” Give a copy of the “dot-to-dot” activity sheet to each pupil. The teacher calls out the numbers 1 to 31 in order, but occasionally you call a number out of sequence. Any pupil who joins to the next dot is then “out”.

Last pupil ”in”, or first to reach the last number and name the animal in French (from Ch.1.9), wins. ❑ Science/geography: Now that pupils can count up to 30, they can measure temperatures (in degrees C) and read the results out in French.

(See “extra words and phrases”).

They could do this hourly through the school day and draw a graph of the results. ❑ PE: play pétanque as a team game See chapter 1.10’s “talking point”. Children can use French numbers in scoring. ❑ PE: play “run to the number” Attach number cards to plastic bollards or rounders posts on the school field, to apparatus in the hall, or inside plastic hoops.

Call out a number in French and the pupils run to the corresponding number. ❑ PE: play colours and numbers Divide the class into four teams. Each team is identified by a colour. Attach number cards to the apparatus as described above.

Call out combinations of numbers and colours e.g. “bleu et rouge - 22”. Pupils in the blue and red teams run to try and be first to touch number card 22.

Watch film 12: B2: “Song”

❑ Watch film B2 in which the numbers are sung by a class of French children.
