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}

Alignment with National Curriculum

This lesson aligns with the Canadian Mathematics Curriculum for Grade 1, focusing on number sense and operations.

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length (minutes)	Details
1	Introduction to Numeracy	5	Briefly discuss what numeracy means. Engage students by asking about their favorite numbers. Introduce the objectives of the lesson.
2	Number Recognition	5	Use number cards to review numbers 1-20. Call out numbers and have students hold up the corresponding card.
3	Counting Activity	10	Distribute counting blocks. Have students practice counting a set number of blocks (e.g. 10 blocks) and then write the number.
4	Introduction to Addition	5	Demonstrate simple addition using blocks. Show how to combine groups and write the corresponding equation on the board.
5	Addition and Subtraction Practice	5	Hand out worksheets with addition and subtraction problems. Circulate the room to assist students as needed.
6	Conclusion and Wrap-Up	2	Review key points of the lesson. Reinforce the importance of numbers in everyday life. Explain the homework task for practice at home.
7	Homework Explanation	3	Hand out homework sheets and explain that they will practice number recognition and basic addition/subtraction at home. Emphasize that homework will be checked but not presented in class.

Assessment

Monitor student participation during counting and activities.
Review completed worksheets for understanding of addition and subtraction concepts.
Collect homework for evaluation without student presentations.

Homework

Students will complete a worksheet that includes:

Number recognition exercises (1-20)
Simple addition and subtraction problems with objects drawn or counted.

Teacher Notes

Ensure to differentiate instruction as needed for students who may struggle with numeracy.
Prepare additional resources for students requiring extra support.

This lesson plan provides a comprehensive approach to teaching numeracy to Grade 1 students, ensuring alignment with the Canadian Mathematics Curriculum while fostering an engaging learning environment.
