Lesson Plan for Nursery 2 - Numeracy - Counting/identification Of Numbers 1 - 120

### Lesson Plan: Counting and Identification of Numbers 1-120 #### Grade Level: Nursery 2 #### Duration: 45 minutes #### Subject: Numeracy --- ### Objectives: - Students will be able to count from 1 to 120. - Students will be able to identify and recognize numbers from 1 to 120. - Students will develop hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills through number-related activities. ### Materials Needed: - Number flashcards (1 to 120) - Number charts - Whiteboard and markers - Counting objects (blocks, beads, etc.) - Number worksheets (1 to 120) - Pencils and erasers - Coloring materials (crayons, colored pencils) - A large poster board or butcher paper - Stickers or markers for games - Music player (for songs related to counting) ### Lesson Structure: **1. Introduction (5 minutes)** - Begin with a friendly greeting and a brief introduction to the day's topic: Counting from 1 to 120. - Start with a song or rhyme about numbers to engage the students ("One, Two, Buckle My Shoe" or a counting song). **2. Direct Instruction (10 minutes)** - Display the number chart from 1 to 120 on the board. - Count together out loud with the students from 1 to 120. - Highlight and point to each number as you count. - Emphasize any patterns in counting, such as groups of ten. **3. Guided Practice (10 minutes)** - Distribute number flashcards to each student. - Call out numbers randomly and ask students to hold up the corresponding flashcard. - Practice identifying numbers with the whole class. For example, show a flashcard and ask, "What number is this?" - Group students into pairs or small groups and have them practice counting together with counting objects. **4. Independent Practice (10 minutes)** - Hand out number worksheets that contain various activities such as tracing numbers, matching objects to numbers, and coloring numbers. - Assist and guide students as they work on their worksheets. - Provide additional counting objects for hands-on practice if needed. **5. Interactive Activity/Game (5 minutes)** - Play "Number Hunt" where students find numbers hidden around the classroom. - Alternatively, play a game of “Bingo” with numbers from 1 to 120. - Use the large poster board or butcher paper for a “Number Line” game where students place numbers in the correct order. **6. Review and Closing (5 minutes)** - Recap the day's lesson by counting together from 1 to 120 one more time. - Ask students questions to assess their understanding: "Can you show me the number 25?" "What number comes after 56?" - Praise the students for their hard work and participation. - Conclude with a fun, engaging counting song to reinforce the lesson. ### Assessment: - Observe students during activities to assess understanding and participation. - Check students' worksheets for accuracy and comprehension. - Ask individual students to count or identify numbers during guided practice. - Conduct a quick informal quiz by showing number flashcards and asking students to identify them. ### Differentiation: - Provide extra support and one-on-one assistance to students who may need it. - Challenge advanced students with higher number recognition or counting backward. - Use visual, auditory, and kinesthetic teaching methods to cater to different learning styles. ### Follow-Up/Home Extension: - Send home counting worksheets or suggest counting games to families to reinforce learning. - Encourage parents to practice counting and identifying numbers with their children using everyday objects. --- **Note:** Adapt the pacing and activities based on the students’ engagement levels and understanding. Ensure to create a positive and encouraging environment to foster a love for numeracy.
