Lesson Plan for Nursery 2 - Numeracy - Counting Numbers 1 - 130

### Lesson Plan: Counting Numbers 1 - 130 **Grade Level:** Nursery 2 **Subject:** Numeracy **Duration:** 45 minutes **Topic:** Counting Numbers 1 - 130 --- #### **Objectives:** 1. **Cognitive Goal:** Students will count numbers from 1 to 130. 2. **Psychomotor Goal:** Students will identify and match numerals correctly. 3. **Affective Goal:** Students will show increased interest and enjoyment in counting activities. --- #### **Materials Needed:** - Number flashcards (1-130) - Counting charts - Interactive counting video (optional) - Worksheets with number sequences - Whiteboard and markers - Counting objects (e.g., blocks, beads) - Stickers or stamps for rewards --- ### **Introduction (5 minutes):** 1. **Greeting and Warm-Up:** - Welcome the students and initiate a short conversation about their day to create a friendly atmosphere. - Sing a catchy counting song from 1 to 10 to grab their attention. 2. **Objective Overview:** - Briefly explain to the students that today’s lesson will involve counting all the way up to 130. --- ### **Main Lesson (30 minutes):** 1. **Direct Instruction (10 minutes):** - Display the counting chart from 1 to 130 on the board. - Model counting from 1 to 130 slowly, pointing to each number as you count. - Repeat a few sections (e.g., 1-10, 21-30) and have the students echo you. 2. **Guided Practice (10 minutes):** - Distribute sets of number flashcards to small groups. - Instruct students to arrange the cards in sequential order up to 130. - Walk around, assisting groups and encouraging teamwork. 3. **Interactive Video (5 minutes):** - Show a simple, engaging video that repeats counting from 1 to 130 with visuals. - Pause at intervals to allow students to count along. 4. **Independent Practice (5 minutes):** - Hand out worksheets with numbers sequences that are missing certain numbers (e.g., 1, 2, __, 4, __, 6). - Students fill in the blanks with the correct numbers. - Provide counting objects (blocks/beads) for tactile learners to assist with their counting. --- ### **Conclusion (10 minutes):** 1. **Review and Recap:** - Quickly review the counting chart and ask students to count aloud from different starting points (e.g., “Let’s count from 50 to 60!”). - Use the interactive video again, this time reviewing counting and pausing for active participation. 2. **Q&A and Reflection:** - Ask a few students to share how they felt while counting to 130. - Address any questions or difficulties noticed during independent practice. 3. **Praise and Rewards:** - Reward students who showed effort and participation with stickers or stamps. - End the session by praising the whole class for their hard work and enthusiasm. --- ### **Assessment:** - **Observation:** Monitor students during practice activities to assess their ability to count and arrange numbers correctly. - **Worksheets:** Check completed worksheets to see if students accurately filled in the missing numbers. - **Participation:** Note students’ engagement and participation during group activities. --- ### **Differentiation:** - **For Advanced Learners:** Provide additional worksheets with more complex sequences (e.g., counting by 2s or 5s). - **For Struggling Students:** Give them smaller ranges (e.g., 1-50) and provide one-on-one support; use more tactile counting tools. --- ### **At-Home Extension:** - Encourage parents to practice counting at home with their children using household items (e.g., counting spoons, toys). - Provide access to the interactive video link so parents can continue the learning at home. --- ### **Wrap-Up:** - Celebrate their progress with a fun activity like a “counting treasure hunt” where they find and count items around the classroom/home. --- Thank you, and have a wonderful day of counting fun!
