Lesson Plan for Nursery 1 - Numeracy - Oral Counting And Identification Of 0 - 120

**Lesson Plan: Numeracy - Oral Counting and Identification of 0 - 120** *Target Group:* Nursery 1 (Age 3-4) *Duration:* 45 minutes *Theme:* Oral Counting and Identification of Numbers 0 - 120 *Objectives:* 1. Students will be able to orally count from 0 to 120. 2. Students will be able to recognize and identify numbers from 0 to 120. 3. Students will develop an understanding of the sequence of numbers. *Materials Needed:* - Number flashcards (0-120) - Large number chart (0-120) - Counters (e.g., small objects like beads or buttons) - Whiteboard and markers - Digital device with educational numeracy apps or videos *Introduction (10 minutes):* 1. Greeting: Begin with a cheerful greeting and a brief review of previous numbers learned if applicable. 2. Song: Sing a counting song that involves counting from 0 to 20 to capture the attention of the students. E.g., “The Numbers Song” on YouTube or "1,2,3,4,5 Once I caught a fish alive." *Main Activity (25 minutes):* 1. Orally Counting (5 minutes): - Use the large number chart. Start pointing at each number while counting together as a class from 0 to 50. - Engage students in repeating after the teacher to ensure they are getting the sequence right. 2. Flashcard Activity (10 minutes): - Show students flashcards in a random order from 0 to 50. Ask students to say the number aloud. - Gradually introduce numbers beyond 50 and up to 120. Repeat the same activity. 3. Interactive Counting (10 minutes): - Split students into small groups and give each group a set of counters and a number card (randomly chosen). - Each group should place the correct quantity of counters corresponding to the number on their card. *Practice (10 minutes):* 1. Individual Counting: - Have students count from 0 to 120 individually while the teacher listens and offers assistance if necessary. This may involve splitting the class into smaller groups and rotating. 2. Number Matching Game: - On a digital device, use a numeracy app that allows students to drag and match numbers from 0 to 120. - Alternatively, create a matching game where students draw lines between numbers and corresponding quantities depicted on a worksheet. *Conclusion (5 minutes):* 1. Recap: - Quickly review the numbers from 0 to 120 using the number chart, asking random students to identify specific numbers. - Highlight the numbers that were more challenging and reassure students’ awesome progress. 2. Closing Song: - End with another upbeat counting song to reinforce the sequence of numbers up to 120, ensuring the children leave the lesson with energy and enthusiasm. *Assessment:* - Observe how well students can count orally in sequence. - Check if students can recognize and identify numbers from flashcards and interactive activities. - Note participation and engagement levels throughout the lesson. *Follow-up:* - Encourage parents to practice counting and number identification at home. - Suggest simple counting activities, like counting objects around the house or using educational counting videos on YouTube. This lesson plan aims to make the introduction to numbers 0-120 fun, engaging, and educational, using a variety of teaching methods to cater to different learning styles.
