Welcome to Counting! – Greet our little mathematicians – Today’s focus: numbers and counting – Counting together from 1 to 10 – Let’s count: 1, 2, 3, 4, … up to 10 – Fun with numbers! – We’ll use stickers to make it exciting | This slide is designed to introduce Pre-K students to the concept of counting. Start by greeting the students warmly to create an engaging learning environment. Explain that the day’s lesson will be about understanding numbers and how to count. Encourage the students to count aloud together from 1 to 10 to practice their counting skills. Incorporate fun activities such as counting out stickers to make the learning process interactive and enjoyable. Use colorful stickers and place them in a line, counting each one as you go along. This visual and tactile approach helps young learners grasp the concept of numbers and counting more effectively. Be prepared to repeat the counting process multiple times and praise the students for their efforts to build their confidence.

What is Counting? – Counting is number order – It shows ‘how many’ we have – Let’s count objects together! – We’ll count stickers from 1 to 10 – Practice counting up to 10 – Use stickers to make counting fun and visual | This slide introduces the concept of counting to Pre-K students. Start by explaining that counting is the process of determining the order of numbers and understanding ‘how many’ of something exists. Engage the students by counting objects together in the classroom, using stickers as a visual and interactive tool. Encourage them to count aloud and use their fingers if necessary. The goal is to make them comfortable with the sequence of numbers up to 10. As an activity, provide sheets with different numbers of stickers (up to 10) and ask the students to count them. This will help reinforce their counting skills in a playful and tangible way.

Counting Stickers: Numbers 1 to 5 – Learn numbers 1 through 5 – Match numbers to objects – Each number pairs with a set of items: 1 drum, 2 shoes, etc. – Counting practice with objects – Let’s count together: 1 car, 2 dolls, 3 crayons… – Fun with counting stickers | This slide introduces the concept of counting from 1 to 5 using stickers as visual aids. Start by showing the numbers 1 to 5 and then present stickers or images of objects that correspond to each number. For example, one sticker for number 1, two stickers for number 2, and so on. Engage the students in a counting activity by asking them to count along with you using real-life objects like fruits or toys. This will help them understand the concept of quantity and the association between numbers and physical objects. Make the activity interactive and fun to keep the students’ attention focused. For students who grasp the concept quickly, challenge them with counting items in the classroom or from their own sticker collections.

Counting Fun: Numbers 6 to 10 – Numbers 6 through 10 – After 5, we have 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 – Counting like 1 to 5, with more – Let’s count together with objects – For example: 6 balloons, 7 ducks, 8 crayons… – Practice makes perfect – Keep practicing counting every day | This slide introduces the children to counting numbers 6 to 10, building upon their knowledge of numbers 1 to 5. Emphasize that the process of counting remains the same; we are just adding more objects. Use visual aids like pictures of balloons, ducks, and crayons to help them count. Engage the children by counting out loud together and encourage them to use their fingers or physical objects to count. Reinforce learning through repetition and practice, and consider incorporating counting into daily routines for the children to become more comfortable with numbers 6 to 10.

Counting Stickers: Learning to Count to 10 – Stickers make counting fun – We’ll count from 1 to 10 together – Everyone gets stickers to count – You’ll each receive your own stickers – Practice counting with stickers – How many stickers do you have? | This slide introduces the counting activity using stickers, which are both engaging and visually stimulating for Pre-K students. The goal is to help them understand the concept of counting sequentially from 1 to 10. Distribute stickers to each child, ensuring they have at least 10. Guide them through the counting process, encouraging them to place stickers in a line and count aloud as they place each one. This hands-on activity not only reinforces number recognition but also helps with fine motor skills. As they count, walk around to assist any students who need help and to ensure they are counting correctly. After the activity, have a discussion about the number of stickers each student has to reinforce the concept.

Let’s Practice Counting with Stickers! – Receive a sheet with numbers – Match stickers to numbers – Place the exact number of stickers as the number shows – Understand numbers as quantities – Each number represents how many stickers you need – Have fun with counting! | This activity is designed to help Pre-K students recognize numbers and understand them as quantities. Provide each student with a sheet that has numbers 1 through 10 printed on it. Students will then be asked to place the correct number of stickers next to each printed number, reinforcing their counting skills. It’s a tactile and visual way to learn, which is very effective for young children. Make sure to walk around the classroom to assist any students who may be struggling with the concept. Possible variations of the activity could include using different colored stickers for each number, counting out loud as they place each sticker, or even grouping students to work in pairs to encourage teamwork and peer learning.

Class Activity: Sticker Counting Fun! – Count stickers up to 10 – Match stickers to numbers – Each number gets equal stickers – 3 means 3 stickers! – If the number is 3, place exactly 3 stickers next to it. | This activity is designed to help Pre-K students practice counting to 10 in a fun and interactive way. Provide each student with a sheet of paper that has the numbers 1 through 10 printed on it, and a set of stickers. Instruct them to place the corresponding number of stickers next to each number. For example, they should place 1 sticker next to the number 1, 2 stickers next to the number 2, and so on, up to 10. This will help them visually associate the numeral with the quantity it represents. Monitor the students as they work, and offer help as needed. Possible variations of the activity could include using different colored stickers for each number, grouping stickers to show addition (e.g., 2 stickers and 3 stickers grouped together to show 5), or having students count out loud as they place each sticker.

Review: Counting Stickers Up to 10 – Celebrating our counting skills – Recall: Counting stickers for number 5 – Who remembers how many stickers make 5? – Counting’s role in daily life – We use counting for tasks like sharing snacks. – Practice makes perfect – Keep practicing with different sticker numbers! | This slide is a review and celebration of the students’ progress in counting stickers up to 10. Begin by praising their counting achievements to build confidence. Ask the class to recall the specific number of stickers for the number 5 to reinforce their memory and understanding. Highlight the importance of counting in everyday life, such as dividing treats equally among friends. Encourage continuous practice with different numbers of stickers to solidify their counting skills. For the activity, consider having a variety of sticker sheets and let each student count out stickers for different numbers up to 10, ensuring they get hands-on practice.

Great Counting Today! – Amazing job with counting – Practice makes perfect – Count objects around you to practice – See you for more math fun – Keep counting at home – Try counting toys, steps, or snacks | This slide is meant to wrap up the counting lesson on a positive note, praising the students for their efforts and encouraging them to continue practicing at home. Emphasize the importance of practice in mastering counting skills. Let them know that math can be fun and is a part of everyday life. Encourage them to count anything they find interesting, like their toys, steps they take, or even snacks they eat. This will help reinforce their counting skills and prepare them for the next lesson. End the class by expressing excitement for the next time you’ll meet, building anticipation for more math adventures.
