Full lesson	Create for a teacher a set of content for giving a lesson, beginning with the lesson plan. Each new block of materials must begin with an H1 heading (other subheaders must be H2, H3, etc). When you describe required pictures, write those descriptions in curly brackets, for example: {A picture of a triangle}

Lesson plan

Topic

Subitising

Objectives

Students will understand the concept of subitising and its importance in counting.
Students will be able to recognize small quantities of objects without the need to count them individually.
Students will develop their visual perception and number sense.

Materials

Five to ten sets of dot cards (cards with dots in groups of 1 to 5)
Small manipulatives (e.g., counting blocks, counters)
Whiteboard and markers
Projector for displaying digital images of groups of dots (if available)
Worksheets for individual practice

Grade/Age Group

Reception / Kindergarten (Ages 5-6)

Subject

Mathematics

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length	Details
1	Introduction	5 mins	Introduce the concept of subitising. Explain how we can see groups of items quickly. Use visual aids to demonstrate.
2	Dot Card Activity	10 mins	Present dot cards one by one to the students. Ask them to say how many dots they see without counting. Provide instant feedback.
3	Group Activity	5 mins	Divide students into small groups. Give them small manipulatives to create their own groups of dots or objects. Encourage them to show their groups to each other.
4	Class Discussion	5 mins	Gather all students back together. Discuss what they learned about subitising. Ask guiding questions to elicit responses.
5	Individual Practice	5 mins	Hand out worksheets with visual representations of different groups of objects. Students will complete them quietly, practicing their subitising skills.
6	Conclusion and Homework	5 mins	Recap the lesson and explain the homework assignment. Homework will involve subitising activities that can be completed at home using everyday items. Check homework without presentation.

National Curriculum Alignment

The lesson aligns with the Australian National Curriculum for Mathematics, specifically focusing on early number concepts and the development of counting strategies.

Homework

Students will take home a simple subitising worksheet to complete with their families. Parents will be encouraged to help their child identify groups of objects at home and practice subitising, promoting family involvement in learning. Homework will be collected and checked for understanding without requiring any student presentations.
