Your next great Lessn starts here.

Welcome to Counting! – Greet our little learners – Today’s focus: numbers and counting – Can we count to 5 together? – Let’s count: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5! – Practice counting with stickers – Use stickers to make counting tangible | Begin the class with a warm and enthusiastic greeting to engage the children. Today’s lesson is an introduction to numbers and counting, specifically up to the number 5. Encourage the children to count aloud together to create a fun and interactive learning environment. Use physical stickers as a visual and tactile aid to help them understand the concept of counting. Each child can place stickers in a row and count each one, reinforcing their understanding of the numbers 1 through 5. This activity also helps develop fine motor skills. Be prepared to assist and praise the children as they practice counting.

Learning to Count with Stickers – 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 to 5 together Use your fingers to count from one to five. – Practice with stickers | This slide introduces the concept of counting to Pre-K students in a fun and interactive way. Start by explaining that counting is a way to find out how many things there are. Use familiar examples like toys and fingers to illustrate the point. Then, engage the students by counting from 1 to 5 together using their fingers. This helps them visualize the numbers and understand the sequence. Finally, prepare an activity where students can practice counting with stickers, which will help reinforce the concept and allow them to apply what they’ve learned in a tangible way. Make sure to have enough stickers for the class, and consider using sticker sheets with different shapes and colors to make the activity more engaging.

Meet the Numbers 1 to 5 – Numbers have a special order – Like in a game, each number has a turn – Starting our count with number 1 – Number 1 is the leader of the number parade – What comes after 1? Number 2! – After 1, we meet 2 – it’s the next in line – Discovering 3, 4, and 5 in line – 3 follows 2, then comes 4, and 5 is last | This slide introduces the concept of numerical order to Pre-K students. Emphasize that numbers are like friends standing in a line, where each has its own place. Start with number 1 and explain that it’s the beginning of all counting. As you move to each subsequent number, use visual aids like fingers or actual stickers to help children visualize the sequence. Encourage the students to repeat the numbers after you, and use rhythmic clapping or a song to make the learning process engaging. The goal is for the children to recognize the order of the numbers and be able to count from 1 to 5 independently.

Let’s Count Stickers! – Stickers are fun and countable – Count together, stopping at 5 – Practice counting with stickers from 1 to 5 – Each sticker counts as one – One sticker, two stickers, and so on – Stopping at 5 is important – Remember, after 5 comes 6, but we stop at 5 for now | This slide is designed to introduce Pre-K students to counting using stickers, a fun and tangible method. Start by showing the students a small pile of stickers. Encourage them to count along with you, touching each sticker as they say the number out loud. Reinforce the concept that each sticker represents one unit. Emphasize the stopping point at the number 5 to help them understand the concept of counting to a specific number. Use clear and simple language, and consider counting multiple times to solidify their understanding. For the activity, provide each student with five stickers and guide them through the counting process. This hands-on approach will help them associate the numerical value with physical objects, which is a crucial step in developing early math skills.

Counting Stickers Together – Learn to place and count stickers – Observe sticker placement carefully – I’ll place stickers, you watch and count with me – Count each sticker out loud – We’ll say the numbers together as we count – Practice counting up to 5 | This slide is designed for an interactive class activity to help Pre-K students learn to count up to 5 using stickers. Start by demonstrating how to place stickers on a surface, one by one, while clearly pronouncing each number from 1 to 5. Encourage the students to watch closely and prepare to count along. After the demonstration, invite the students to count out loud with you as you place each sticker again. This reinforces number recognition and counting skills. For individual practice, provide each student with a set of 5 stickers and a sheet of paper. Ask them to place and count their stickers out loud. Walk around the classroom to assist and praise the students for their efforts. This hands-on activity not only teaches counting but also helps in developing fine motor skills.

Your Turn to Count! – Get your sticker sheet ready – Stickers up to the number 5 – You might have 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 stickers! – Place stickers on your sheet – Make sure each sticker has its own space – Count each sticker out loud – Say the numbers as you put each sticker down | This slide is for a hands-on counting activity where students will practice counting to five using stickers. Provide each student with a sheet and a set of stickers, ensuring that no sheet has more than five stickers. Encourage them to place each sticker on the sheet, counting as they go. This activity helps reinforce number recognition and one-to-one correspondence, which are foundational math skills. As they count, walk around the room to assist any students who need help and to ensure they are counting correctly. Praise their efforts to build confidence. Possible variations of the activity could include counting different colored stickers, grouping stickers, or even counting backwards from five.

Class Activity: Sticker Counting Fun! – Pair up for sticker counting – Place stickers on sheets – Stick them in groups up to 5 – Count stickers together – Take turns counting each other’s stickers – Ensure counting up to 5 – Help your friend if they get stuck | This interactive activity is designed to help Pre-K students practice counting to 5 in a fun and engaging way. Students will pair up and work together, which encourages social interaction and cooperative learning. Provide each pair with a sheet and a set of stickers. Instruct them to place the stickers on their sheets, counting out loud as they do so. They should take turns and help each other to ensure they both understand how to count up to 5 correctly. As a teacher, walk around the classroom to assist and praise the students for their efforts. Possible variations of the activity could include using different colored stickers for each number, counting stickers in different shapes, or even having a sticker matching game where students have to find and count the number of matching stickers.

Counting Review: Stickers Up to 5 – Celebrate our counting success – Count to 5 as a group – Let’s count together: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5! – Understanding the purpose of counting – Counting tells us the quantity of items – Practice makes perfect – Keep practicing counting with fun activities | This slide is a review and celebration of the students’ progress in counting up to 5 using stickers. Start by praising their effort and success in learning to count. Then, engage the whole class in a unison counting exercise to reinforce their skills. Explain that counting is a fundamental math skill that helps us determine the quantity of objects we have, which is an important concept for their daily lives. Encourage them to continue practicing counting in various scenarios, such as during playtime or snack time, to solidify their understanding. For the activity, consider having different sets of stickers for each student to count, or a group activity where they count items together to promote collaborative learning.

Goodbye and Great Counting! – Amazing job counting today! – Practice counting with toys or snacks – Use items like blocks or fruit pieces – Keep up the great work at home – Excited to count more next time! | This slide is meant to congratulate the students on their counting efforts during the class and to encourage them to continue practicing at home. Suggest to parents to involve children in counting activities using everyday items like toys or snacks to make learning continuous and fun. Reinforce the concept that practice is essential and that you look forward to seeing the children’s progress in the next session. Offer praise and positive reinforcement to motivate the students and end the class on a high note.
