Learning to Count: 1 to 5 – What is counting? – Counting tells us how many items we have – Numbers help us count – Numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 – Visuals of numbers 1 to 5 will be shown – Practice counting with stickers – We’ll count stickers together up to 5 | 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 simple language and real-life examples, like counting fingers or toys, to illustrate the concept. Show them the numbers 1 through 5 and help them recognize and name each number. The activity involves using stickers to make the learning process interactive and fun. Provide each student with a sheet of stickers and guide them to place and count out stickers from 1 to 5. This hands-on activity will help reinforce their understanding of numbers and counting.

Learning the Number 1 – This is the number 1 – Saying ‘one’ for a single item – When there’s only one item, like a single apple, we use the word ‘one’. – Can you find one sticker? – Look in your sticker pack and pick out exactly one sticker. – Practice counting one sticker – Place the sticker on your worksheet to show you’ve counted one. | This slide introduces the concept of the number one to Kindergarten students. It’s important to start with a clear visual representation of the number and associate it with the concept of singularity. Encourage the students to say ‘one’ out loud each time they refer to a single object. The activity of finding one sticker will help them apply this concept practically. Make sure to walk around the classroom to assist any students who may be struggling with the concept of ‘one’. As an extension, you can ask the students to point out one nose, one mouth, or one of any other object they have to reinforce the concept.

Learning the Number 2 – Understanding the number 2 – Number 2 is after 1 and before 3 – ‘Two’ means a pair of items – Like two eyes, two hands, or two feet – Counting two stickers – Let’s place two stickers and count: 1, 2 | This slide introduces the concept of the number 2 to Kindergarten students. Start by showing them the numeral ‘2’ and explaining that it represents two of any item. Use relatable examples like two eyes, two hands, or two feet to illustrate the concept. Then, engage the students in a hands-on activity where they count out two stickers, reinforcing the idea that ‘two’ refers to a pair of items. Encourage the children to count aloud together to build their confidence in recognizing and understanding the number 2.

Learning the Number 3 – Understanding the number 3 – Number 3 represents a quantity of three items – Counting to three – Practice saying ‘one, two, three’ together – Placing three stickers – Can you put three stickers in a line? | This slide introduces the concept of the number 3 to Kindergarten students. Begin by showing them the numeral 3 and explaining that it represents a count of three items. Engage the students by counting to three together multiple times. Then, move on to a hands-on activity where each student places three stickers in a row on a piece of paper. This activity helps solidify their understanding of the number 3 through visual and tactile reinforcement. Encourage the students to count each sticker as they place it down to practice one-to-one correspondence. As an extension, ask the students to find groups of three objects in the classroom.

Learning the Number 4 – This is the number 4 – ‘Four’ means four items – Like 1, 2, 3, and one more makes four – Make a square with stickers – Use four stickers to form a square shape – Count each sticker out loud – Saying numbers helps us remember them | This slide introduces the concept of the number 4 to Kindergarten students. Start by showing them the numeral 4 and explaining that when we have four objects, we use the word ‘four’ to describe the quantity. Engage the students in a hands-on activity where they use four stickers to create a square, which has four equal sides. Encourage them to place one sticker at each corner of the square. As they place each sticker, have them count out loud from one to four. This activity helps reinforce the concept of counting and the number 4, as well as introduces them to basic shapes. Make sure to walk around the classroom to assist and praise the students as they complete the task.

Learning the Number 5 – This is the number 5 – ‘Five’ means five items – Can you count to five? – Use your fingers to count: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 – Show me five stickers – Place 5 stickers in a row | This slide introduces the concept of the number 5 to Kindergarten students. Start by showing the numeral ‘5’ and explaining that it represents the quantity of five items. Encourage the students to say the word ‘five’ out loud. Then, ask the students if they can count to five with you, using their fingers to help them keep track. Finally, engage the students in a hands-on activity by asking them to show you five stickers. Provide stickers and have them place five in a row on a piece of paper. This visual and tactile activity helps reinforce the concept of the number five. For students who grasp the concept quickly, challenge them to find groups of five objects in the classroom.

Let’s Count Together! – Counting from 1 to 5 – Start at 1 and count up to 5 – Using stickers for counting – Place a sticker for each number – Practice counting aloud – Say the numbers together as a class – Celebrate counting to 5! – Cheer when we reach 5! | This slide is designed to engage Kindergarten students in a fun counting activity using stickers. The goal is to help them understand the sequence of numbers from 1 to 5. Teachers should distribute stickers to each student and guide them to place one sticker for each count, ensuring they understand the one-to-one correspondence between the number said and the sticker placed. Encourage the students to count aloud together, reinforcing their number recognition and verbal counting skills. Celebrate when the class successfully counts to 5, fostering a sense of achievement and excitement about learning numbers.

Counting Practice with Stickers – Start counting with 1 sticker – Add another to count 2 stickers – Now count 3 stickers together – Can you count to 4 stickers? – Finally, count out 5 stickers | This slide is designed for a hands-on counting activity using stickers, which will help Kindergarten students practice counting from 1 to 5. The activity is structured to gradually increase the number of stickers, reinforcing the concept of counting in sequence. Encourage the students to place the stickers in a row and count them one by one, touching each sticker as they say the number. This tactile experience helps solidify their understanding of numbers and quantity. After counting, students should show their counts to a friend, which promotes peer learning and communication skills. For the teacher: Prepare a variety of stickers and ensure each student has at least 5. Monitor the students as they count and offer guidance if needed. Be ready with additional activities for fast learners, such as asking them to count backwards from 5 to 1 or grouping stickers into pairs.

Sticker Counting Activity – Listen to the number I say – Count out the same number of stickers – If I say ‘3’, pick three stickers – Place your stickers on the paper – Show your counted stickers – Make sure to count aloud as you place each sticker | This activity is designed to help Kindergarten students practice counting to 5 using a hands-on approach with stickers. It will reinforce their understanding of numbers and one-to-one correspondence. As you call out a number, students will select the corresponding number of stickers and place them on their paper. Encourage them to count aloud to ensure they are associating the numerical value with the physical quantity of stickers. This activity can be varied by asking students to count different types of stickers or by changing the numbers you call out. It’s a fun and interactive way to engage students in learning to count.

Great Job Counting! – Fantastic counting today! – Practice makes perfect – Count stickers at home – Use your stickers to count from 1 to 5 – Show us your counting skills – Bring your counting stories next class | This slide is meant to congratulate the students on their counting efforts during the class and to encourage them to continue practicing at home.
