Lesson Plan for Nursery 1 - Numeracy - Oral Counting And Identification Of 0 - 130

Lesson Plan for Numeracy: Oral Counting and Identification of 0 - 10 **Class:** Nursery 1 **Duration:** 40 minutes **Topic:** Oral Counting and Identification of Numbers 0 - 10 **Objectives:** 1. Students will be able to count orally from 0 to 10. 2. Students will be able to identify and recognize numbers from 0 to 10. **Materials Needed:** - Number flashcards (0-10) - Counting toys (e.g., blocks, beads, or small balls) - A large number chart (0-10) - Nursery rhymes or songs related to counting - Whiteboard and markers **Lesson Structure:** **1. Introduction (10 minutes)** - Greet the students and make them sit in a circle. - Sing a counting song to grab their attention and introduce the topic (e.g., "Five Little Ducks" or "Ten Little Monkeys"). - Briefly explain to the students that today they will learn how to count from 0 to 10 and recognize these numbers. **2. Oral Counting Practice (10 minutes)** - Use the large number chart to point to each number while counting aloud with the students from 0 to 10. - Repeat the counting together 2-3 times, until they begin to follow along confidently. - Introduce a fun, catchy rhyme or chant for counting from 0 to 10. **3. Number Identification (10 minutes)** - Show the number flashcards one by one and have the students repeat the number after you. - Mix up the flashcards and ask students to identify the numbers as you show them, ensuring each number from 0 to 10 is covered. **4. Hands-On Counting Activity (5 minutes)** - Give each student a set of counting toys. - Instruct them to count the toys out loud as they place them one by one on the table or mat. - Observe and assist as needed to ensure correct counting and reinforce the concept. **5. Reinforcement Game (5 minutes)** - Play a simple game like "Number Hunt" where the numbers 0 to 10 are hidden around the classroom, and students have to find them and bring them back to a designated area, identifying the number as they do so. **6. Wrap-Up and Review (5 minutes)** - Gather the students back into a circle. - Review what they learned by counting together one last time and showing the flashcards for quick recall. - Give positive reinforcement to encourage them (e.g., "Great job counting!" or "You all did wonderfully at finding the numbers!"). **Assessment:** - Observe students during the activities to ensure participation and comprehension. - Ask individual students to count or identify specific numbers to check for understanding. **Closure:** - Conclude the class with a fun counting song or rhyme. - Inform the students that in the next lesson, they will practice counting with new activities. This lesson plan uses a mix of oral counting, visual identification, hands-on activities, and games to ensure that students stay engaged and have multiple opportunities to learn and practice counting from 0 to 10.
