DETAILED EXPLANATION:

  • Practice the target grammar by asking the class, "How many PENCILS do you have?" and getting individual students to reply using full sentences. Substitute "pencils" for various other objects that may be found in their pencil cases or desks.
  • Distribute the worksheet. Have students write sentences in Step 1.
  • Students ask their friends, "How many ~?" questions and note their friends' answers.

TEACHING SUGGESTIONS:

  • Be sure to give the students an answer for zero. "I have NO rulers," for example.

TIPS/CAUTIONS:

  • Remember, always play it safe and check with the teacher when using any activities that include asking students about their families.

    Lovely worksheet with great explanations too. I made some edits for my students by replacing one of the school supplies with pets cause it could be an interesting conversation if they have a bunch of fish or bugs for example. I also added the 4 line writing template since I'm using this for my first year JHS students during first term. Thanks again for making this!!
