Welcome to Counting! – Greet our little learners – Today’s focus: Learning numbers – Practice counting together – Let’s count: 1, 2, 3! – Counting to 3 with fun – Use stickers to make it enjoyable | This slide is designed to introduce Pre-K students to the concept of counting up to the number 3. Start the lesson with a warm and enthusiastic greeting to engage the children. Emphasize that the day’s lesson is about numbers and counting, which is a fundamental math skill. Encourage the students to count aloud together from 1 to 3 to practice their counting skills. Incorporate a fun activity by using stickers, as children are often motivated by visual and tactile aids. This will help them associate the numbers with physical objects, making the learning process more interactive and enjoyable. The goal is to create a supportive and playful environment where the children feel excited about learning to count.

Let’s Learn to Count to 3! – What is counting? – Counting tells us how many items are present. – Counting things around us – We can count anything, like toys or fingers! – Let’s count: 1, 2, 3! – Practice saying numbers 1, 2, and 3 in order. – Practice counting with stickers – Use stickers to count out loud together. | This slide introduces the concept of counting to young learners. Start by explaining that counting is a way to determine the quantity of items. Use familiar objects like toys or fingers to illustrate this concept. Engage the students by counting together from 1 to 3. Encourage them to repeat after you to practice. For the activity, provide stickers and guide the children to place and count them one by one, reinforcing the numbers 1, 2, and 3. This hands-on activity helps solidify their understanding of counting and number sequence. Make sure to praise their efforts and correct gently if they make a mistake.

Learning the Number 1 – This is the number 1 – The very first number in counting – Saying ‘one’ for a single item – When you have only one toy, apple, or sticker, that’s ‘one’ – Can you find one sticker? – Look around and pick one sticker from the bunch | This slide introduces the concept of the number 1 to Pre-K students. Start by showing them the numeral and saying the number out loud. Explain that when we have only one of something, we use the word ‘one’ to describe the quantity. Encourage the children to practice by finding one sticker from a selection provided. This activity helps to reinforce the concept of ‘one’ and begins to develop their counting skills. For the activity, have a variety of stickers available and guide the children to pick just one. Praise them for successful counting and correct gently if more than one sticker is chosen. The goal is to make them comfortable with the idea of single quantities.

Learning the Number 2 – Understanding the number 2 – It’s like having one thing, and then one more! – Counting ‘one, two’ – Practice saying it aloud: ‘one, two’ – Place two stickers on board – Each pick two stickers and stick them on your board | This slide is focused on teaching Pre-K students the concept of the number 2. Start by showing them the numeral and saying the number out loud. Encourage the children to repeat after you. Then, demonstrate counting two objects, emphasizing the sequence ‘one, two’. Provide each student with two stickers and guide them to place the stickers on their boards while counting out loud. This hands-on activity helps reinforce the concept of the number 2 through a tactile experience. For students who grasp the concept quickly, challenge them to find two objects in the classroom. For those who need more support, use finger counting to help them visualize the number 2.

Learning the Number 3 with Stickers – This is the number 3 – Counting ‘one, two, three’ – Practice by saying ‘one, two, three’ aloud – Count three stickers together – Let’s try counting with stickers: 1 sticker, 2 stickers, and 3 stickers – Practice makes perfect – Keep practicing counting to 3 with different items | This slide introduces the number 3 to Pre-K students using stickers, a fun and tangible way to learn counting. Start by showing the number 3 and saying it out loud. Then, guide the students to count from one to three. Use actual stickers to help them visualize and understand the concept of quantity. Place one sticker on the board, then add another to count two, and finally a third one to make three. Encourage the children to count along with you. After counting the stickers, ask the students to practice counting to three with various items in the classroom to reinforce the concept. The goal is to make them comfortable with recognizing and counting up to the number 3.

Let’s Practice Counting! – Now it’s your turn to count – Count out stickers up to 3 – Place 1, 2, then 3 stickers in a row – Remember, counting is fun! – Show your counted stickers – Display your stickers to the class | This slide is designed to engage Pre-K students in a counting activity using stickers, which makes learning tactile and visual. The activity should be presented in a playful and encouraging manner. Teachers should prepare stickers and ensure each student has at least 3. As students count, they should be reminded that it’s okay to go slow and that practice makes perfect. After counting, students can proudly show their counted stickers to the class. This reinforces their counting skills and builds confidence. Possible variations of the activity could include counting different colored stickers, grouping stickers, or even combining stickers with peers to count together.

Class Activity: Sticker Counting Fun! – Receive a sheet with circles – Match stickers to circle numbers – Circle 1 gets 1 sticker – Place one sticker inside the first circle – Circle 2 gets 2, circle 3 gets 3 – Add two stickers to the second and three to the third circle | This activity is designed to help Pre-K students practice counting to three and number recognition in a fun and interactive way. Each student will receive a sheet with three circles, each labeled with the numbers 1, 2, and 3. They will then use stickers to count out and place the corresponding number of stickers in each circle. This hands-on activity not only reinforces counting skills but also fine motor skills as they handle the stickers. For differentiation, some students can be challenged to count out loud as they place the stickers, while others may need assistance with number recognition. Encourage students to help their peers if they finish early. After the activity, have a discussion about the numbers and stickers to reinforce the learning objectives.

Great Job Counting! – Excellent counting stickers! – You can count up to 3 now – Time for a big clap! – Clap along if you counted 1, 2, 3! – You’re becoming great counters! | This slide is a celebration of the students’ achievement in learning to count up to 3 with stickers. It’s meant to provide positive reinforcement and encourage the children to feel proud of their new skill. The teacher should lead the class in a round of applause, making the activity fun and engaging. Additionally, the teacher can incorporate physical activities like clapping to the count of three to reinforce the concept. It’s also an opportunity to assess the students informally by observing if they can follow along with the counting and clapping. The teacher should be prepared to offer praise and possibly a sticker reward to each child for their participation and effort.
