2. **Introduction to the Topic:**
- Show a large number chart (1-150) and guide the students through a quick overview of the numbers.
- Highlight the importance of numbers in daily life (e.g., counting toys, steps, etc.).
##### Direct Instruction (15 minutes):
1. **Counting Practice:**
- Use the interactive whiteboard or poster. Point to each number as the class counts together from 1 to 50, then gradually up to 150.
- Encourage students to count along, emphasizing correct pronunciation and sequence.
2. **Number Recognition:**
- Show number flashcards (1-50) and ask students to shout out the number they see.
- Introduce numbers 51-150 in smaller groups (50-60, 60-70, etc.) using the flashcards.
##### Guided Practice (15 minutes):
1. **Counting Objects:**
- Divide students into small groups. Give each group a set of small objects (blocks, beads, etc.). Ask them to count the objects and match them with the correct number flashcard.
2. **Number Tracing:**
- Distribute number tracing sheets. Guide students through tracing numbers 1-50, then 51-100, and so on.
##### Independent Practice (10 minutes):
1. **Worksheet Activity:**
- Hand out worksheets with various numbers (1-150) scattered on the page. Students will color the numbers as you call them out.
