Zachar/ Nekeva Numbers and Objects – Numbers 1-3

(logical agreement of אחת and the concepts of שנים and שתים)

Review zachar/ nekeva numbers from previous lesson and lay them out on the rug.

Remove all numbers from both columns except 1, 2, 3 in both columns.

Place the number of bears on the left side of the zachar numbers, and place the trumpets to the left of the nekeva numbers.

Review concept of zachar/ nekeva nouns and yachid and rabim before continuing with lesson – dubi is zachar, many is dubim – chasosrah is nekeva, many is chasosrot.

Ask the students how they would describe three bears –shlosha dubim – how would you say six bears? shisha dubim. Then symbolize that the adjective comes before the noun. Then a student is asked to describe three trumpets – shalosh chasosrot – this is then symbolized. Another example for nekeva is done verbally by another student.

The students are asked who can describe two bears – shnayim dubim – it is then explained that there is a shortened way to say shnayim – it becomes shnei (someone can read the card). Then symbolize. Then go over to nekeva and ask how they would describe two trumpets knowing that the mem drops – they offer shtei as the answer.

Then demonstrate that usually when we describe the number of objects the number comes before the noun – the exception is with number one. Place the bear to the right of the number and ask a student to describe and symbolize one bear in Hebrew – dubi echad. The same is true for nekeva with number one – who would like to describe one trumpet – a student is expected to move the trumpet to the right of the one and read and symbolize.

For the followup work students should lay out the work again and write up using words in the place of the objects and numbers to describe the number of objects from 1-3 in both zachar and nekeva.

Shorashim Lesson

Review that verbs are actions: tell me a verb in English ‘run’.

In English the root of the verb stays the same – he runs, we run, she runs.

In Hebrew the verb splits into three – we take away a large shoresh and a split into three.

A large clay ball representing the verb is split into three parts – a diagram of a tree with the shoresh as

the roots is drawn – using the shoresh אמר.

In Hebrew the shoresh has to fit into a mold depending on whether we are talking about a boy or a girl.

We are going to make the molds for describing a boys actions: ילד אומר.

A ילד is made.

A ילדה is made.

The mold for a boy has purple filled in where the ו goes.

The mold for a girl has purple filled in where the ו and ת go.

The letters אמר are drawn on the shoresh balls that need to fit into the mold.

These are then inserted and the students read the molds for ילד and ילדה and translate.

The teacher then takes out the shoresh and puts it into a different order asking one of the students to read the phrase but it does not make sense – this transposition indicates that the shoresh needs to remain in order for it to remain a shoresh.

Students complete the followup work by making their own molds.

The next lesson given is with the templates representing the molds.
