| 3 | Interactive Game | 5 minutes | Play a number recognition game where students must match numbers with corresponding objects (e.g., matching the number 4 to 4 apples). Encourage enthusiasm and participation. |
| 4 | Individual Practice | 5 minutes | Distribute number worksheets for students to complete individually, reinforcing the recognition skills just practiced. Walk around to provide support. |
| 5 | Homework Assignment | 2 minutes | Explain the homework assignment that will help reinforce what students learned in class. Ensure that students understand what to do without individual presentations. |
| 6 | Review and Closure | 3 minutes | Review the numbers learned during the lesson. Ask students to share their favorite part of the lesson and summarize key points. |
Provide a specific homework assignment related to number recognition (details not included).
Monitor students' participation during group activities and their performance on worksheets to inform future lessons and identify areas for further review.
"Good morning, class! Today, we are going to have a lot of fun learning about number recognition. Does everyone know what numbers are? (Pause for responses) Great! We will be focusing on numbers from 1 to 10 today. I have some flashcards with numbers on them, and I want you all to help me read them out loud. Are you ready? Let's begin!"
Show the first flashcard with the number 1.
"Okay, what number is this?"
Wait for students to respond.
"That's right! It's 1! Now, let’s see the next one."
Continue with flashcards up to number 10, encouraging students to shout them out together.
"Fantastic job, everyone! You all are great at recognizing numbers!"
"Now that we know our numbers, I want to do an exciting activity in our small groups. I'm going to split you into groups of 5. Each group will get some counting blocks. Your task is to work together to form the numbers from 1 to 10 using those blocks. Work as a team, and I’ll be walking around to help you if you need it!"
Divide the class into groups and distribute the counting blocks.
"Remember, when you’re making the numbers, make sure you count how many blocks you are using for each number! Let’s get started!"
Walk around the classroom, providing support and encouragement.
"Wow, fantastic teamwork, everyone! Now, we’re going to play a fun interactive game. In this game, I will show you a number, and I want you to help me match it with the right number of objects. For example, if I show you the number 4, you will tell me how to match it with 4 apples! Are you ready?"
Begin showing numbers one at a time, allowing students to respond with objects.
"Okay, let’s start with the number 3! How many apples do we need to show 3? That's right, we need 3 apples! Now, let’s try another one: what about the number 5? Fantastic! Keep up the great work!"
Continue with various numbers, encouraging enthusiasm and participation.
"Now that you have played a fun game, it’s time to do some individual practice. I’m going to give each of you a number worksheet. On this worksheet, you'll find different activities that will help you practice recognizing numbers from 1 to 10."
Distribute worksheets to each student.
"Take your time to complete the activities on your own, and don’t hesitate to raise your hand if you need help. I’ll be walking around to assist you."
Provide support as students work on their worksheets.
"Great job on your worksheets, everyone! Before we finish today’s lesson, I want to share your homework assignment with you. Your homework will help you practice number recognition even more. You will need to find 10 objects at home and write down their numbers. For example, you can find 3 spoons, 5 books, or anything else you can count. Make sure to show your parents what you learned today!"
"Do you all understand what you need to do for your homework?"
Wait for a response.
"Wonderful! Don’t forget to bring your homework back for us to share in our next class!"
"To wrap up our lesson today, let’s quickly review what we’ve learned. Who can tell me one number we practiced today?"
Encourage students to respond.
"Exactly! We learned numbers from 1 to 10. What was your favorite part of today’s lesson?"
Allow a few students to share their thoughts.
"Thank you for sharing! You all did an amazing job today, and I am so proud of you. Remember to practice your numbers at home. See you all next time!"
