Lesson Outline

Introduction (5 Minutes)

1. Greeting and Warm-Up

   • Begin the class with a friendly greeting.
   • Review numbers 1-5 with quick questioning (e.g., “How many fingers do we have on one hand?”).

2. Introduce the Lesson

   • Explain that today, students will learn to match number cards to groups of objects.
   • Show number cards (1-5) and discuss what each number represents.

Direct Instruction (10 Minutes)

1. Demonstration

   • Use a number card (e.g., '3') and a set of 3 counting bears.
   • Place the number card next to the bears and verbalize the relationship: “This is the number 3, and here are 3 bears.”

2. Guided Practice

   • Invite students to pick a number card from the table.
   • Call on students to find the corresponding set of objects and match them together on their desks.

Independent Practice (10 Minutes)

1. Worksheet Activity
   • Distribute worksheets that require students to draw lines matching number cards (1-5) to pictures of groups of objects (e.g., 4 apples, 2 balloons, etc.).
   • Circulate the room to provide assistance as needed.

Conclusion (5 Minutes)

1. Review Activity

   • Gather students back together and review the key concepts. Ask questions like:
     • “What number comes after 2?”
     • “How many blocks are here if I have a number card that shows 4?”

2. Closing

   • Encourage children to share their favorite object they matched today.
   • Reinforce positive behavior and effort throughout the lesson.

Assessment

• Observe students during guided and independent practice to assess their understanding.
• Collect worksheets to evaluate each child’s ability to match number cards to sets of objects accurately.

Additional Notes

• Encourage students to use language related to numbers and counting throughout the lesson.
• Modify instruction for students needing additional support by using fewer objects or providing one-on-one assistance.

Extensions

• For advanced learners, introduce addition concepts by asking how many more objects are needed to match a larger number.
• Incorporate songs about numbers to enhance engagement during transitions.
