Introduction (5 Minutes)

1. Greeting and Warm-Up:
   Begin with a friendly greeting to the children. Say, “Today, we are going to have fun with numbers!”

2. Review Previous Knowledge:
   Ask the students to count together from 1 to 10. Then, encourage them to continue counting from 11 to 20.

Direct Instruction (10 Minutes)

1. Introduce Numbers 11-20:
   Show the students number cards from 11 to 20. Discuss the importance of these numbers in building our counting skills.

2. Demonstrate Number Construction:
   Using the manipulative blocks, demonstrate how to form numbers. For example:

   • Use 10 blocks to represent the number 10 and add 3 more blocks to show the number 13.
   • Repeat with different numbers up to 20.

Guided Practice (10 Minutes)

1. Hands-on Activity:

   • Distribute counting blocks to each student.
   • Call out a number between 1 and 20. Students will construct the number using their blocks.
   • Walk around and assist students who may be struggling.

2. Match and Pair:

   • After constructing the number, provide students with the corresponding number card. They will match their block construction with the card.

Independent Practice (5 Minutes)

1. Worksheet Activity:
   • Distribute a worksheet with numbers 1-20. The worksheet will have tasks such as:
     • Drawing the correct number of stars for each number.
     • Completing the number sequence by filling in the missing numbers.

Conclusion (5 Minutes)

1. Review and Reflect:

   • Recap what the students learned today. Ask questions such as, “What number comes after 15?”
   • Reinforce their achievements in constructing numbers and counting.

2. Closing Statement:

   • Encourage students to show their families what they learned today!
