Lesson Procedure

Introduction (5 minutes)

1. Gather students in a circle and explain that today they will learn about numbers and how to count.
2. Show number cards (1-10) one at a time and ask students to say the numbers aloud together.
3. Briefly discuss how numbers can represent things, like the number of fingers on one hand.

Direct Instruction (10 minutes)

1. Using manipulatives, demonstrate counting:

   • Place 3 counting bears in a line and ask, "How many bears do we have?"
   • Have students count them together.

2. Ask students to choose a number card and find the same amount of manipulatives.

   • For example: If a student picks the number 5, they should gather 5 counting bears.

3. Walk around to support students as they practice.

Guided Practice (10 minutes)

1. On chart paper, draw a large number line from 1 to 10.
2. Ask students to help you fill in the number line with pictures of various manipulatives that correspond with each number (e.g., 1 apple, 2 bananas, etc.).
3. Invite students to come up to the chart and place their manipulatives on the correct number.

Independent Practice (3 minutes)

1. Hand out worksheets with various tasks that require matching numbers to quantities.
   • The worksheet should include:
     • Counting objects (students will draw lines matching numbers to sets)
     • Simple addition problems (e.g., 1 + 1 = ?)

Conclusion (2 minutes)

1. Review what was learned:
   • Ask students to share their favorite number and how many objects correspond with it.
2. Praise students for their participation and understanding.

Homework

Task:
Complete the following tasks at home.

1. Counting Objects: Count 10 objects at home (toys, snacks, etc.), and draw a picture of them.

2. Number Matching: Match the numbers with the correct number of items below by drawing lines.

   Number	Draw the Items
   3	[Draw Here]
   5	[Draw Here]
   2	[Draw Here]

3. Simple Addition: Solve the problems below:

   • 1 + 1 = __
   • 2 + 2 = __
   • 3 + 1 = __

Correct Answers for Homework

1. Draw three objects of choice (e.g., 3 toys).
2. The students should connect the number to the drawings.
3. Simple addition answers:
   • 1 + 1 = 2
   • 2 + 2 = 4
   • 3 + 1 = 4
