Lesson Plan for Nursery 2 - Numeracy - ounting/identification Of Numbers 1 - 160, Number

# Lesson Plan: Counting and Identification of Numbers 1-160 ## Grade: Nursery 2 ## Subject: Numeracy ## Topic: Counting and Identification of Numbers 1-160 and Number Endings ### Objectives: 1. Students will be able to count and identify numbers from 1 to 160. 2. Students will recognize and understand number endings (e.g., 30, 40, 50, etc.). 3. Students will develop their number sequencing skills. ### Materials: - Number chart (1-160) - Flashcards with numbers (1-160) - Counting blocks or small objects - Printed worksheets with fill-in-the-blank exercises - Number ending posters (e.g., 10, 20, 30, etc.) ### Duration: - 45 minutes ### Lesson Structure: #### Introduction (10 minutes) 1. **Warm-Up:** - Greet the students and ask them how they are feeling today. - Briefly explain today's lesson about learning numbers up to 160 and understanding number endings. 2. **Number Song:** - Begin with a number song or rhyme that counts up to 20 to engage the students and set the tone for the lesson. #### Main Activity (25 minutes) 1. **Counting Practice:** - Display the number chart (1-160) on the board. - Start counting from 1 to 40, then gradually to 100, and finally to 160, pointing to each number as you go. - Encourage students to count along. Do this in increments (1-40, 41-80, 81-120, 121-160) to keep the children engaged. 2. **Flashcard Activity:** - Show flashcards with numbers 1-160 randomly. - Ask students to identify the number and say it aloud. For more engagement, let them take turns showing the flashcards to the class. 3. **Number Endings Introduction:** - Show posters with number endings: 10, 20, 30, 40, etc., up to 160. - Explain that these are special numbers that end with a zero and occur every ten numbers. - Discuss how these numbers are building blocks for understanding larger numbers. 4. **Counting Blocks:** - Provide each student with counting blocks or small objects. - Ask them to arrange the objects in groups of ten to reinforce the idea of tens and number endings. - Count the groups together as a class (e.g., 10, 20, 30, etc.) up to 160. #### Practice/Application (7 minutes) 1. **Worksheet Activity:** - Hand out printed worksheets with numbers 1-160 but with some numbers missing. - Have students fill in the blanks to complete the sequences. - Walk around to offer help and encouragement as they work. #### Conclusion (3 minutes) 1. **Review:** - Go over the key points of the lesson once more. Recap the counting practice and the concept of number endings. - Praise students for their effort and participation. 2. **Closing Song:** - End the lesson with another engaging number song that covers a higher range if possible. ### Assessment: - Observe students during activities to assess their ability to count and identify numbers. - Review the completed worksheets to check for understanding of number sequencing and number endings. ### Differentiation: - For students who need more support: Provide number charts with visual aids and work in smaller groups. - For advanced students: Challenge them with higher numbers beyond 160 or more complex counting patterns. ### Follow-up Activities: - Encourage students to practice counting at home with their parents. - Use counting games and apps designed for young learners. ### Notes: - Stay flexible; some students may need more time and practice. - Make the activities fun and interactive to keep the students engaged throughout the lesson.
