Welcome to Counting! – Greet our little mathematicians – Today’s focus: Learning about numbers – Practice counting together up to 3 – Let’s count: 1, 2, 3 with stickers! – Fun with numbers and stickers – We’ll use stickers to make counting fun | This slide is designed to introduce Kindergarten students to the concept of counting up to the number 3. Start the lesson with a warm greeting to make the children feel comfortable and excited about learning math. Emphasize that today’s lesson is about understanding and practicing numbers, specifically counting to 3. Engage the students by counting together aloud, using visual aids like stickers to help them visualize the numbers. Incorporate playful activities where children can apply stickers to a chart as they count, reinforcing their understanding of the sequence of numbers. The goal is to create a fun and interactive environment where students can learn the basics of counting in a tangible and memorable way.

Learning to Count Up to 3 – What is counting? – Counting tells us how many items are present. – Counting things around us – We can count anything: toys, fingers, stickers! – Counting with stickers – Using stickers, we can learn to count up to 3. – Let’s count together! | This slide introduces the concept of counting to Kindergarten students. Begin by explaining that counting is a way to determine the quantity of items. Use relatable examples like toys and fingers to illustrate the point. Introduce stickers as a fun, visual tool to help with counting practice. Engage the students by counting out loud together as a class. Encourage them to use their fingers to count and to visualize the numbers as they say them. This interactive approach helps solidify their understanding of the numbers 1, 2, and 3.

Learning the Number 1 – This is the number 1 – Saying ‘one’ for a single item – Find one sticker activity – Can you pick out just one sticker? – Understanding ‘one’ as a quantity – ‘One’ means only a single sticker, not more. | This slide introduces the concept of the number 1 to Kindergarten students. Begin by showing them the numeral ‘1’ and explaining that it represents a single item. Use concrete examples like one apple, one toy, or one sticker to illustrate the concept. For the activity, provide each student with a pack of stickers and ask them to find and pick out exactly one sticker. This hands-on activity helps them understand ‘one’ as a quantity. Reinforce the idea that ‘one’ means only a single item, not two or three, and praise students as they successfully identify and show one sticker. This activity sets the foundation for counting and number recognition.

Learning the Number 2 – Understanding the number 2 – Number 2 is one more than 1 and one less than 3 – ‘Two’ means a pair of items – For example, two eyes, two hands – Place two stickers on paper – Practice counting with stickers | This slide is focused on teaching Kindergarten students the concept of the number 2. Start by showing them the numeral and saying the number out loud. Explain that when we have a pair of something, like eyes or hands, we use the number ‘two’ to describe the quantity. Provide each student with two stickers and guide them to place these on their paper, reinforcing the concept of ‘two’. Encourage them to count out loud as they place each sticker. This hands-on activity helps solidify their understanding of the number 2 through a fun and interactive task.

Learning the Number 3 – This is the number 3 – ‘Three’ means three items – Let’s find three stickers – Look around, can you spot three of anything? – Counting 1, 2, 3 together – Practice by saying the numbers as you count | This slide introduces the concept of the number 3 to Kindergarten students. Begin by showing them the numeral ‘3’ and explaining that it represents the quantity of three items. Use real-life examples to help them understand, such as three crayons or three blocks. Then, engage the students in an interactive activity where they find three stickers in the classroom. This will help them associate the number with physical quantities. Encourage them to count out loud together to reinforce the learning. The goal is for students to recognize the number 3, understand it as a quantity, and be able to count up to three items reliably.

Counting Practice with Stickers – Start counting at one – Add stickers one by one – Place a sticker, say ‘one’, add another, say ‘two’, and another for ‘three’ – Stop counting at three – Remember what comes after three – ‘Four’ follows ‘three’, but today we only count to three | This slide is designed to engage Kindergarten students in a counting activity using stickers, which makes learning tangible and fun. Start by showing one sticker and counting it as ‘one’. Then, add another sticker and count together ‘two’, and add one more to count ‘three’. Reinforce the concept by stopping at three and reminding them that the next number is ‘four’, but the focus today is to practice counting up to three. This activity helps students to understand the sequence of numbers and to associate the verbal count with a physical quantity of items. For the activity, prepare stickers and ensure each student has a chance to count out their own set of stickers. Encourage them to count aloud and use their fingers to represent each number as they count.

Class Activity: Sticker Fun! – Each student receives a sticker sheet – Circles on the sheet for stickers – Match stickers to numbers: 1, 2, 3 – Place 1 sticker in the first circle, 2 in the second, and 3 in the third – Practice counting with stickers – Helps to visualize and understand numbers | This activity is designed to help Kindergarten students practice counting to three by using a hands-on approach with stickers. Each child will receive a sheet with designated circles. The task is to place the correct number of stickers in each circle, starting with one sticker in the first circle, two stickers in the second, and three stickers in the third. This will help them to visually associate the number with the quantity and reinforce their counting skills. For the teacher: Prepare sticker sheets with circles marked 1, 2, and 3. Monitor the students as they place their stickers, and encourage them to count out loud. Offer praise and gentle corrections as needed. Possible variations of the activity could include using different colored stickers for each number, having students trade sheets to count their classmates’ stickers, or even creating a sticker chart on the wall as a group activity.

Review Time: Counting to Three with Stickers – Recap: Counting to three – Stickers for counting practice – Use stickers to visually represent numbers 1, 2, 3 – Understanding the quantity of items – Counting stickers shows us the total number we have – Counting is useful in everyday life – We count objects like toys, snacks, and stickers daily | This slide is meant to consolidate the day’s learning for the kindergarten class. It’s a review of the basic concept of counting up to three, using stickers as a fun and engaging visual aid. The slide prompts the students to recall what they’ve learned about counting and the importance of understanding quantities in a tangible way. The teacher should encourage the students to think about how counting is applied in their daily lives, such as counting toys, snacks, or even steps. The teacher can facilitate a discussion by asking the students to share examples of when they count things at home or in school. This reinforces the lesson and ensures that the students can connect the concept of counting with real-world experiences.

Goodbye and Great Counting! – Fantastic counting today! – Show your sticker sheets again – Hold up your sheets to display your stickers – Applaud for learning to count to 3 – Let’s clap for each other’s success – Proud of your counting skills! | This slide is meant to conclude the counting lesson on a positive note, celebrating the students’ success in learning to count to three. Encourage the children to proudly show their sticker sheets, which serve as a visual representation of their counting practice. Lead the class in a round of applause to reinforce their achievement and build their confidence. This positive reinforcement helps to instill a love for learning and acknowledges their effort. As a teacher, you can use this opportunity to observe the students’ understanding and to provide individual encouragement. Remember to smile and make the activity fun, ensuring the students leave the class feeling accomplished and eager to learn more.
