Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length	Details
1	Introduction	5 minutes	Begin with a brief discussion on what numbers are and why they are important. Use number flashcards to engage students.
2	Counting Activity	10 minutes	Conduct a counting exercise using manipulatives. Have students count items in groups of 2. Discuss one-to-one correspondence.
3	Number Recognition	5 minutes	Show number flashcards again. Ask students to identify numbers and write them on the whiteboard, reinforcing their recognition.
4	Guided Addition	5 minutes	Introduce simple addition concepts using manipulatives. Demonstrate how to combine groups and find the total number.
5	Independent Practice	5 minutes	Hand out worksheets with number recognition and addition problems. Students work individually to complete their tasks.
6	Wrap-Up and Reflection	2 minutes	Review the main concepts covered in the lesson. Encourage students to share their favorite number or addition story if they wish.

Homework

• Assign a worksheet with additional number recognition and simple addition exercises. Students will complete the worksheet at home and submit it the following lesson.
• Homework will be checked for understanding without requiring students to present their work in front of the class.

Assessment

• Observe students during activities to check for understanding.
• Review completed worksheets to assess individual progress in number recognition and addition.

This lesson plan provides a structured approach for teaching foundational number concepts to Year 1 students, following the Australian Curriculum guidelines.
