Lesson Plan for Nursery 2 - Numeracy - Counting/identification Of Numbers 1 - 1000

### Numeracy Lesson Plan for Nursery 2 **Topic: Counting/Identification of Numbers 1 - 1000** **Grade Level**: Nursery 2 **Duration**: 1 week (5 days) **Objectives**: 1. Students will count from 1 to 1000. 2. Students will identify and recognize numbers from 1 to 1000. 3. Students will order numbers sequentially. 4. Students will understand the concept of place value in larger numbers. **Materials Needed**: - Number charts (1-1000) - Flashcards with numbers (1-1000) - Interactive smartboard or whiteboard - Counting beans or blocks - Worksheets - Counting songs/videos - Books with number themes --- ### Day 1: Introduction to Numbers 1-100 #### Time: 30-45 minutes **Warm-Up (5 mins)**: - Sing a counting song from 1 to 100. **Introduction (10 mins)**: - Display a large number chart (1-100) on the board. - Introduce numbers 1-10 using flashcards. Repeat for numbers up to 100. **Activity (15 mins)**: - Counting Beans: Distribute 100 beans (or blocks) to each student. Have them count individually or in pairs. - Number Hunt: Hide number flashcards around the classroom. Let students find and identify them. **Wrap-Up (5 mins)**: - Recap by counting together from 1-100. - Show a short counting video. --- ### Day 2: Exploring Numbers 101-200 #### Time: 30-45 minutes **Warm-Up (5 mins)**: - Review the numbers 1-100 using a counting song. **Introduction (10 mins)**: - Display number chart (101-200) and point out patterns. - Discuss what comes after 100 (101, 102, etc.). **Activity (15 mins)**: - Flashcards Matching: Students match number flashcards with number pictures (e.g., 101-200). - Counting Beans: Continue counting beans from 101-200 with guidance. **Wrap-Up (5 mins)**: - Recap numbers 101-200 by counting together. - Quick game of "What's Missing?" with selected numbers from 101-200. --- ### Day 3: Building Numbers 201-500 #### Time: 30-45 minutes **Warm-Up (5 mins)**: - Review with a counting song focusing on numbers 101-200. **Introduction (10 mins)**: - Display number chart (201-500). - Discuss the importance of hundreds, tens, and units using visual aids. **Activity (15 mins)**: - Create Number Groups: Divide students into groups and assign a set of numbers (e.g., 201-250, 251-300). Have them write and display these numbers. - Bean Counting: Continue counting beans from 201-500 in groups. **Wrap-Up (5 mins)**: - Recap numbers 201-500. - Use flashcards for a quick review of randomly selected numbers. --- ### Day 4: Recognizing and Sequencing Numbers 501-800 #### Time: 30-45 minutes **Warm-Up (5 mins)**: - Review previous numbers (1-500) using a counting song. **Introduction (10 mins)**: - Display the number chart (501-800). - Explain how the numbers follow each other sequentially. **Activity (15 mins)**: - Create a Number Line: Have students place flashcards in the correct order to form a number line from 501-800. - Interactive Counting: Use the smartboard to drag and drop numbers into the correct sequence. **Wrap-Up (5 mins)**: - Recap numbers 501-800. - Play a "Which Number Comes Next?" game using random numbers from 501-800. --- ### Day 5: Mastering Numbers 801-1000 and Review #### Time: 30-45 minutes **Warm-Up (5 mins)**: - Quick review with a counting song focusing on numbers 501-800. **Introduction (10 mins)**: - Display the number chart (801-1000). - Reinforce place value concepts. **Activity (15 mins)**: - Number Identification: Use flashcards for students to identify numbers from 801-1000. - Bean Counting: Count beans from 801-1000 in small groups. **Wrap-Up and Review (15 mins)**: - Review the entire number range 1-1000 together. - Interactive quiz on the smartboard or using clicker remotes. - Hand out worksheets for individual practice and assessment. **Conclusion**: - Congratulate students on their accomplishment. - Sing a final counting song from 1 to 1000. - Encourage continued practice at home with number-related activities. **Assessment**: - Throughout the week, observe student participation and understanding. - Use flashcards and number sequencing activities for informal assessments. - Collect and review worksheets to gauge individual progress. --- **Homework**: - Encourage parents to practice counting with their children daily. - Provide a simple counting booklet for extra practice at home. **Extensions**: - Begin simple addition and subtraction using numbers 1-1000 for advanced learners. - Explore number patterns and sequences further. **Reflection**: - After the lesson, reflect on what worked well and what could be improved. Adjust future lessons based on student engagement and understanding.
