Kindergarten Lesson Plan: One-to-One Correspondence

Subject: Mathematics

Duration: 30 Minutes

Topic: One-to-One Correspondence

Grade: Kindergarten (Reception)

---

Objectives

• Students will be able to understand the concept of one-to-one correspondence.
• Students will be able to count objects and match them to a corresponding number accurately.

Materials Needed

• Counting manipulatives (like blocks, counters, or small toys)
• Number cards (1-10)
• Worksheets with pictures of objects for counting
• Whiteboard and markers

---

Introduction (5 Minutes)

1. Greeting and Warm-Up

   • Welcome students and introduce the topic of one-to-one correspondence.
   • Ask students if they have ever helped with setting the table and how each person gets one plate, one fork, etc.

2. Introduce One-to-One Correspondence

   • Explain that one-to-one correspondence means matching each object with one and only one number to count them.
   • Demonstrate using counting manipulatives.

---

Direct Instruction (10 Minutes)

1. Model Counting with One-to-One Correspondence

   • Use blocks or manipulatives to show an example. Place the blocks in a line and count them while pointing at each block:
     • "1, 2, 3, 4."
   • Emphasize that each number corresponds to only one block.

2. Visual Representation

   • Use the whiteboard to draw a group of objects (e.g., apples) and write the numerals next to them.
   • Demonstrate how to circle each apple with the corresponding number.

---

Guided Practice (10 Minutes)

1. Counting Activity

   • Distribute counting manipulatives to each student.
   • Instruct students to count out a specific number of objects when you hold up a number card.
   • Walk around and assist students to ensure they are practicing one-to-one correspondence.

2. Group Activity

   • Split students into pairs and give them a set of number cards.
   • Ask each pair to count and match their manipulatives to the correct number card.
   • Monitor and support as needed.

---

Independent Practice (5 Minutes)

1. Worksheet Activity
   • Hand out counting worksheets with pictures of objects (e.g., stars, ducks).
   • Instruct students to count the objects in each row and write the corresponding number next to each row.

---

Closure (5 Minutes)

1. Review and Recap

   • Gather students together and review what one-to-one correspondence means.
   • Ask a few students to share how they counted objects during the lesson.

2. Preview Homework

   • Explain the homework assignment, ensuring that it reinforces the concept of one-to-one correspondence.

---

Homework Assignment

Task 1: Count and Match

1. Gather 10 small items (e.g., buttons, toys, or coins) from around the house.
2. Write the number of items on a piece of paper and draw a line to match the number to the items.

Task 2: Workbook Page

• Complete the workbook page that includes counting objects and circling the correct number next to each group.

Correct Answers

• For Task 1, answers may vary based on the items chosen but should match the number written to the actual counted items.
• For Task 2, answers will depend on the drawing; students should circle the corresponding number of each group of items provided in the worksheet.

---

Assessment

• Observe students during guided and independent practice for understanding.
• Check completed worksheets and homework to assess individual student grasp of one-to-one correspondence.
