Lesson Structure

Step Number Step Title Length Details
1 Introduction 5 min Begin the lesson by asking students how they count. Introduce the concept of counting. Include a brief overview of numbers 1-20 using everyday examples (e.g., fingers, toys).
2 Counting Activity 10 min Distribute counting props. Guide students in counting items together aloud. Encourage students to take turns counting different items while the rest of the class counts along.
3 Number Recognition 5 min Use the whiteboard to write numbers 1-20. Ask students to identify numbers as you point to them. Include questions related to the numbers (e.g., "What comes after 5?").
4 Independent Practice 5 min Hand out worksheets that require students to trace and write numbers 1-20 and match numbers with groups of corresponding objects.
5 Review and Check Homework 5 min Quickly review homework from the previous lesson. Students can check their homework in pairs but will not present it in front of the class. Provide feedback as needed.

Homework

Assign students to practice counting objects at home and write the numbers corresponding to the quantity of objects they counted (up to 20). Provide a sheet for parents to sign, confirming that students practiced at home.

Assessment & Evaluation

Additional Notes

Engage students with positive reinforcement and encouragement throughout the lesson, ensuring a supportive learning environment. Adjust activities as necessary to cater to different learning paces within the classroom.
