Welcome to Numbers! – Today’s focus: Learning about numbers – Counting by ones – Let’s count items one by one, like steps – Counting by tens – We’ll count in groups of ten, like bundles of sticks – Understanding quantities – Knowing how many items we have | This slide introduces kindergarteners to the concept of numbers and counting. Start the lesson by engaging the students with the excitement of learning about numbers. Explain that counting by ones is like taking single steps, one at a time. Demonstrate this by counting objects in the classroom. Then, introduce counting by tens, which is like grouping things together in larger amounts, such as ten sticks tied together. Use visual aids like counting blocks or images to help them understand. Emphasize that counting is a tool we use to find out how many things we have, whether it’s toys, crayons, or even friends. Encourage participation by having students count along with you. Prepare hands-on activities where they can practice counting by ones and tens with physical objects.

Counting by Ones – Start at number 1 – Count up to number 10 – Each number is +1 – 2 is one more than 1, 3 is one more than 2 – Use fingers to count – Show 1, then 2, then 3 fingers as we count | This slide introduces the concept of counting by ones, which is a fundamental skill in kindergarten math. Start by explaining that counting by ones means adding one more to get to the next number. Demonstrate this concept by counting from 1 to 10 out loud with the class, and encourage the students to use their fingers to represent each number as they count. This tactile approach helps reinforce the concept of incrementing numbers by one. Make sure to go slowly to ensure that all students can follow along and understand that each step in the sequence is just one number higher than the last.

Practice Time: Counting by Ones – Count apples by ones – How many apples are in the basket? Let’s count together: 1, 2, 3, … – Count classroom blocks by ones – Look at the blocks! Start from one and count up. | This slide is an interactive activity for students to practice counting by ones using tangible objects like apples and blocks. Encourage the students to touch each apple or block as they count to reinforce the concept of one-to-one correspondence. Make sure to count along with them, emphasizing each number as you go. This activity helps to solidify their understanding of sequential order and prepares them for counting higher numbers. For students who finish early or need an extra challenge, ask them to count items in groups of ten to introduce the concept of skip counting by tens.

Counting by Tens: Big Number Jumps! – Counting by tens is fun – Imagine taking giant steps – Jump to the next zero-ending number – For example, from 10 we jump to 20, then 30, and so on – Practice: 10, 20, 30… to 100! – Let’s count together: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100 | This slide introduces the concept of counting by tens, which is a foundational skill in understanding place value and number patterns. It’s important to make this activity engaging by comparing counting by tens to taking big steps or jumps. This visual and physical representation helps kindergarteners grasp the concept of skip counting. During the activity, encourage the children to count aloud together and use their fingers to represent each count of ten. This will help them visualize the sequence and reinforce their learning. You can also incorporate movement by having them physically jump each time they count the next number in the sequence, making the learning experience interactive and memorable.

Let’s Count Together by Tens! – Counting by tens as a class – Start at 10, add ten each time – For example: 10, 20, 30, and so on – Watch how we reach 100 quickly – It’s like a number race to 100! – Practice makes perfect – Keep practicing counting by tens | This slide is designed to engage Kindergarten students in a fun and interactive counting activity. The goal is to help them understand the concept of skip counting by tens, which is a foundational skill in developing number sense and preparing for more advanced arithmetic. Start by counting together as a class, emphasizing the pattern and rhythm of adding ten each time. Use visual aids if possible, such as a number line or counters, to illustrate the jumps from one ten to the next. Encourage the students to participate and watch as they become more confident in their ability to count by tens. After reaching 100, praise their effort and encourage them to practice at home with their families or during free time to reinforce the concept.

Counting with a Song – Songs make counting fun – Learn to count by ones and tens – We’ll use a catchy tune to remember the sequence – Sing along and move to the beat – Clap your hands or tap your feet as we count – Practice counting with music – Helps to reinforce number patterns | This slide introduces a musical activity to help Kindergarten students learn to count by ones and tens. Music is a powerful tool for memory and can make learning numbers enjoyable. The song should have a simple, catchy melody that’s easy for the children to follow. Encourage them to clap or tap along to the beat to get physically involved in the learning process. This kinesthetic approach helps reinforce the numerical patterns. After the song, engage the class in counting out loud together, first by ones up to ten, then by tens to one hundred. This activity not only teaches counting but also helps with rhythm and coordination.

Class Activity: Number Train – Become a ‘train car’ with a number – Line up with classmates in order – Count out loud together – Choo-choo around the room | This activity is designed to help Kindergarten students practice counting by ones or tens in a fun and interactive way. Each student will represent a ‘train car’ and will be assigned a number. They will then line up in the correct sequence and count out loud as they move around the room like a train. The teacher should ensure that the numbers are in the correct order and assist any students who need help. Possible variations of the activity could include counting by ones for a simpler exercise or by tens for a more advanced challenge. The teacher can also use this opportunity to introduce the concept of number patterns and sequences in a visual and kinesthetic manner.

Fantastic Counting! – Celebrate counting by ones and tens – Practice is key to counting – Count objects around you, like toys or snacks – Applaud our counting success – Keep practicing at home! – Try counting steps, claps, or jumps by ones or tens | This slide is meant to conclude the lesson on counting by ones and tens. It’s important to end on a positive note, reinforcing the children’s effort and success. Encourage the students to continue practicing their counting skills in different settings, using everyday objects. This will help them understand the practical application of what they’ve learned. Remind them that practice is essential, and they should feel proud of their progress. Suggest fun counting activities they can do at home, like counting toys, snacks, or even steps. This will make learning more engaging and help solidify their counting skills.
