Lesson Plan for Nursery 2 - Numeracy - Oral Counting/identification Of 1 - 100

### Lesson Plan: Oral Counting and Identification of Numbers 1-100 **Grade Level:** Nursery 2 **Subject:** Numeracy **Duration:** 1 hour #### Objectives: By the end of the lesson, students should be able to: 1. Orally count from 1 to 100. 2. Identify numbers 1 to 100. 3. Understand the sequence of numbers from 1 to 100. #### Materials Needed: - Flashcards with numbers 1 to 100 - Number charts/posters - Interactive counting videos - Number puzzle games - Whiteboard and markers - Stickers or small rewards - Counting objects (e.g., buttons, beads, etc.) #### Lesson Outline: 1. **Warm-Up (10 minutes):** - Welcome the students and get them settled. - Begin with a counting song or chant to engage the students and create a fun atmosphere. Use a well-known counting song like “The Big Numbers Song”. - Display a number chart on the board and point to the numbers as you sing. 2. **Introduction (10 minutes):** - Show a number chart with numbers 1 to 100. - Quickly go through the chart pointing and counting together with students from 1 to 100. - Explain the importance of knowing how to count and identify numbers. 3. **Interactive Lesson (20 minutes):** - **Counting Practice:** - Use flashcards: Hold up a flashcard with a number and have students call out the number. - Group counting: Have students count in unison up to 10, then 20, gradually making your way to 100. - Individual turn: Go around the classroom and ask each student to count sequentially. First student starts at 1, the second continues at 2, and so on. - **Identification Practice:** - Number hunt: Place numbers (in various forms) around the classroom and have students find and identify them. - Number matching game: Give students number cards and ask them to match them to a larger chart. - Interactive video: Use a short educational video that reinforces counting and number identification. 4. **Practice Activity (15 minutes):** - Distribute counting objects (buttons, beads, etc.) to students in small groups. - Ask students to count out loud as they place the objects into groups of 10, then count the groups to 100. - Number puzzle games: Provide puzzles that require sequencing numbers from 1 to 100. 5. **Assessment/Evaluation (5 minutes):** - Call students up one by one to count aloud a chosen sequence of numbers, e.g., 1-20, 20-40, etc. - Use a quick oral quiz where you show numbers from flashcards and ask students to identify them aloud. 6. **Closure (5 minutes):** - Recap the lesson: Together, count one more time from 1 to 100. - Praise and encourage students for their participation and efforts. - Hand out small rewards or stickers to each student as a token of achievement. #### Home Connection: - Encourage parents to practice counting with their children daily using household items. - Send home a simple worksheet or suggested activities that parents can use to support their child’s learning at home. #### Reflection: - After the lesson, note which students may need additional support with counting and identifying numbers. - Reflect on which activities were most engaging and effective, and plan any necessary adjustments for future lessons.
