Welcome to Numbers! – Greetings, little mathematicians! – Learning numbers up to 20 – Numbers are like steps we climb, one by one, up to 20. – Numbers for counting objects – We use numbers to tell us how many things we have. – Count toys, cookies, and more! – Let’s count different items together and reach 20! | This slide is designed to introduce Pre-K students to the concept of numbers and counting up to 20. Start the lesson with a warm welcome, addressing the students as ‘little mathematicians’ to create a fun and engaging learning environment. Explain that numbers are tools we use to measure quantities in the world around us. Use relatable examples like toys or cookies to illustrate the concept of counting, as these are familiar items to the children. Encourage the students to participate by counting items in the classroom or pictures in a book. The goal is to make them comfortable with numbers up to 20 and to understand that numbers are a part of everyday life.

Learning Numbers 1 to 5 – Starting with numbers 1 to 5 – Numbers are fun! Let’s count: 1 apple, 2 balls, 3 cars, 4 ducks, 5 eggs. – Count objects for each number – Use toys or drawings to count: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. – Practice writing numbers – We’ll draw the numbers together on the board or in our notebooks. | This slide is aimed at introducing Pre-K students to the first five numbers. Start by showing them the numbers 1 through 5 and associating each number with a corresponding number of objects to help them understand the concept of quantity. Use real-life objects or illustrations that are familiar to the children. After counting, engage the students in a writing activity where they can practice tracing or drawing the numbers themselves. Provide guidance and encouragement to ensure they feel confident with their number writing skills. The goal is to make the learning process interactive and enjoyable.

Counting Fun: Numbers 6 to 10 – Counting from 6 to 10 – Visualize with ducks or blocks – See 6 ducks, 7 ducks, and so on – Writing numbers 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 – Trace over dotted lines of numbers – Practice makes perfect! – Repeat counting and writing daily | This slide is aimed at helping Pre-K students learn to count from 6 to 10. Use visual aids like pictures of ducks or blocks to help them associate the numbers with actual quantities. Encourage the children to write the numbers themselves, possibly using worksheets with dotted lines to guide them. Emphasize the importance of practice by repeating the counting and writing exercises. During the class, you can use physical items like toy ducks or blocks to make the learning experience more interactive and engaging. Allow the children to count out loud together and to trace numbers in the air or on a shared surface to reinforce their learning.

Counting Beyond 10: Numbers 11 to 15 – Discovering numbers after 10 – Counting objects 11 to 15 – Let’s count blocks, apples, or toys from 11 to 15 together. – Using fingers to count – We have 10 fingers, but we can count higher by starting over. – Practice with fun activities – We’ll play games to count and recognize these numbers. | This slide introduces children to the concept of counting beyond 10, specifically focusing on the numbers 11 to 15. It’s important to make this learning experience interactive and engaging. Encourage the children to use physical objects like blocks or toys to count from 11 to 15, reinforcing the concept of sequential order. Since children have 10 fingers, explain that they can use them to count up to 10 and then continue counting from 11 by starting over. Incorporate playful activities and games that require counting to these numbers to solidify their understanding. The goal is to make the children comfortable with these numbers through repetition and fun.

Counting Fun: Numbers 16 to 20 – Counting from 16 to 20 – Visualize with fruits or animals – For example, 16 bananas, 17 apples, 18 oranges, 19 grapes, 20 strawberries – Practice writing numbers – Trace over dotted lines of numbers 16-20 – Understanding number sequence – Learn the order of numbers and how to count up | This slide is aimed at helping Pre-K students recognize and practice counting numbers 16 to 20. Use visual aids like pictures of fruits or animals to make the learning process engaging and to help them associate quantities with physical objects. Encourage the children to practice writing the numbers, possibly using worksheets with dotted lines to trace over. Emphasize the sequence of numbers and how each number is one more than the previous. During the class, count together aloud and have the students hold up the corresponding number of items to reinforce their understanding.

Counting Together: Numbers 1 to 20 – Count from 1 to 20 together – Practice counting in sequence – Learn a counting song – A catchy tune helps memorize numbers – Sing and count along – Engage with the song to reinforce learning | This slide is designed to engage Pre-K students in learning to count from 1 to 20 through an interactive and musical approach. The counting song should be simple, repetitive, and catchy to help the children memorize the numbers easily. Encourage the students to sing along and perform counting with their fingers or other visual aids. This activity not only teaches them the number sequence but also enhances their listening and speaking skills. For the next class, prepare a variety of counting songs and consider incorporating movements or dance to make the activity more dynamic and enjoyable.

Number Match Game – Let’s play a matching game! – Cards with numbers up to 20 – Each card has a different number – Cards with groups of objects – Objects like apples, balls, or toys – Match numbers to object groups – Find the card with objects that count up to the number on your number card | This interactive game is designed to help Pre-K students recognize numbers and associate them with quantities. Set up stations with sets of cards: one set with numbers 1-20 and another with corresponding groups of objects. Students will practice counting and number recognition by matching the number on one card to the group of objects on another card. For example, a card with the number ‘5’ should be matched with a card showing 5 apples. This activity reinforces the concept of quantity and helps develop early math skills. Encourage students to count out loud and use their fingers if needed. Rotate the students through different stations to give them a chance to match all numbers.

Class Activity: Number Hunt – Let’s search for numbers 1 to 20 – Find objects matching these numbers – Can you find 3 pencils or 5 blocks? – Team up for a number chart adventure – Fill your chart with your discoveries – Place the objects on your chart with the right number | This activity is designed to help Pre-K students recognize and represent numbers up to 20 in a fun and interactive way. Set up the classroom with various objects that can be counted, ensuring there are enough items for the numbers 1 through 20. Encourage the children to work in pairs to foster teamwork and communication. Provide each pair with a number chart where they can place the corresponding number of objects they find. As they engage in the hunt, guide them to count carefully and check their work with each other. Offer assistance as needed and praise their efforts to build confidence. Possible variations of the activity could include finding objects of a certain color, size, or shape to match the numbers, or even combining objects to reach a total count, allowing for a mix of counting and simple addition.

Review and Goodbye – Excellent work today, class! – Let’s review our numbers 1 to 20 – We’ll go over the numbers we practiced. – Time for a big round of applause – Clap for each number we’ve learned! – Ready to count to 20 again? – Let’s count together one more time. | This slide is meant to conclude the lesson on a positive note, reinforcing what the students have learned about numbers up to 20. Start by praising the students for their hard work during the lesson. Then, initiate a quick review by either writing the numbers on the board or showing flashcards and asking the students to call them out. Encourage the children to celebrate their achievement by clapping for themselves, which also helps with their motor skills. Finally, engage the entire class in counting to 20 together, ensuring that they are ready and confident in their ability to count. This activity serves as both a review and a confidence booster.
