Lesson Idea/Topic and In this lesson, students will review numbers 1-69 then build upon their prior
Rational/Relevance: knowledge to learn higher numbers. At the same time, students will practice
What are you going to basic mathematics skills in French in the form of addition. These skills foster

lesson of importance to because amounts of things and/or costs come up in conversation almost
your students? How is it daily. These students will be able to describe how many family members
relevant to students of they have, how much something costs, how many of something they have
this age and background? or want, and more. With addition skills in French, students will be able to

The need for numeracy skills shows up every day, even when it isn’t
apparent.
