Lesson Plan for Nursery 1 - Numeracy - Oral Counting And Identification Of 0 - 50

### Lesson Plan: Oral Counting and Identification of Numbers 0-50 **Grade Level:** Nursery 1 **Subject:** Numeracy **Topic:** Oral Counting and Identification of Numbers 0-50 **Duration:** 45 minutes --- #### **Objectives:** 1. **Counting Skills**: Students will be able to count orally from 0 to 50. 2. **Number Recognition**: Students will be able to identify and recognize numbers from 0 to 50. 3. **Number Sequence**: Students will understand the sequence of numbers from 0 to 50. #### **Materials Needed:** - Number flashcards (0-50) - Number chart (0-50) - Small objects (blocks, beads, etc.) - Whiteboard and markers - Songs/Rhymes about numbers - Worksheets with number tracing and identification activities #### **Introduction: (10 minutes)** 1. **Warm-Up Song**: Start with a fun number counting song that goes up to 50. For example, "The Big Numbers Song". 2. **Calendar Check**: Use a classroom calendar to point to today's date and practice counting the days of the month so far. #### **Direct Instruction: (15 minutes)** 1. **Number Chart Exploration**: Display a number chart (0-50) on the board and have the students repeat after you as you point to each number and count aloud. 2. **Flashcards**: Show flashcards one at a time and have students say the number out loud. Start with sequential order and then mix them up for recognition practice. 3. **Interactive Counting**: Use small objects to physically count out numbers. For example, put 10 blocks on the table and count them with the students. #### **Guided Practice: (10 minutes)** 1. **Number Hunt**: Give each student a number flashcard (0-50). Ask them to find and group themselves in order from 0 to 50. 2. **Board Work**: Write random numbers between 0 and 50 on the board. Ask individual students to come up, point to a number, and say it out loud. #### **Independent Practice: (5 minutes)** 1. **Worksheets**: Distribute worksheets where students can trace numbers and match objects with the correct numbers. Have them color numbers from 0 to 50. #### **Wrap-Up: (5 minutes)** 1. **Q&A Session**: Ask simple questions like "What number comes after 29?", "What number is between 14 and 16?", etc. 2. **Closing Song**: End the lesson with another catchy counting song that reinforces the numbers 0-50. #### **Assessment:** - During guided practice, observe the students' ability to identify and sequence numbers. - Collect and review worksheets to check for proper number identification and tracing. #### **Homework:** - Send home a simple number tracing sheet for numbers 0-50 for additional practice. #### **Differentiation:** - For students who need extra help, provide one-on-one assistance during practice activities. - Advanced students can work on simple addition and subtraction problems using numbers 0-50. #### **Extension:** - Introduce simple counting games and apps that reinforce oral counting and number recognition. - Encourage parents to practice counting with their children at home. --- This lesson plan aims to create an engaging and comprehensive introduction to oral counting and identification of numbers from 0 to 50 for Nursery 1 students.
