What Are Numbers? – Numbers show quantity – Numbers tell us how many items we have – Numbers are part of daily life – We use numbers without even thinking about it! – Explore numbers 1 to 9 – Get familiar with the first nine numbers – Counting practice with stickers – Use stickers to count from 1 to 9 | This slide introduces the concept of numbers to Pre-K students, emphasizing their role in quantifying objects and their presence in everyday life. Start by explaining that numbers help us understand how many things we have, like counting apples or toys. Highlight the use of numbers in daily routines, such as knowing our age or how many cookies we can eat. Introduce the numbers 1 through 9 with visual aids, and engage the students in a counting activity using stickers to make the learning process interactive and fun. Encourage the children to place the correct number of stickers for each number from 1 to 9, reinforcing their counting skills and number recognition.

Counting Fun with Stickers! – Stickers make counting enjoyable – Let’s count from 1 to 9 together – We’ll use stickers to count in sequence – Match numbers with sticker amounts – For number 3, place 3 stickers in a row – Practice makes perfect – Keep counting until you’re confident | This slide introduces the concept of counting using stickers, which adds a tactile and visual element to the learning process. It’s designed to help Pre-K students associate the quantity with the numeral by physically placing the corresponding number of stickers. Start by demonstrating how to count stickers from 1 to 9, ensuring each child has a turn to place the correct number of stickers for each numeral. Encourage the children to count aloud as they place each sticker. This activity not only teaches counting but also helps with number recognition and fine motor skills. As an extension, you can ask the children to group the stickers by color or shape, integrating a sorting exercise into the counting practice.

Learning Number 1 with Stickers – Understanding the number 1 – Number 1 is the first counting number – Place 1 sticker on paper – Choose your favorite sticker and put it in the middle of your paper – Recognize you have 1 sticker – Look, there’s only one sticker on your paper! | This slide is designed to introduce Pre-K students to the concept of the number 1. Start by explaining that 1 is the very first number we learn when we start counting. Encourage the children to pick one sticker they like the most and place it anywhere on their paper. This activity helps them visually understand the concept of ‘one’ and recognize that they have a single item in front of them. Praise the students for their effort to reinforce their understanding. For the next class, prepare a similar activity with the number 2 to gradually build their counting skills.

Counting Stickers Up to 9 – Count stickers to make two – Add more to count three – Keep going up to nine – Count out loud together – Practice counting each number as a group | This slide is designed to engage Pre-K students in a fun counting activity using stickers. Start with two stickers and ask the students to count them out loud. Then, add one more sticker to make three and continue the process, encouraging the students to count along each time a sticker is added. This activity helps to reinforce their understanding of numbers and counting in a visual and interactive way. Make sure to praise their efforts and correct gently if they make a mistake. By the end of the activity, they should be able to count confidently up to nine. For students who grasp the concept quickly, challenge them to count backwards from nine to two.

Let’s Practice Counting! – It’s your turn to count – Use stickers for counting – Place a sticker for each number – Match stickers to numbers – Ensure the stickers equal the numbers shown – Count up to 9 stickers – Practice counting from 1 to 9 with stickers | This slide is designed for a hands-on counting activity for Pre-K students. Provide each student with a worksheet that has numbers 1 through 9 printed on it and a set of at least 9 stickers. Students will place the corresponding number of stickers next to each printed number, which helps them visually associate the numeral with the quantity it represents. This activity reinforces number recognition and counting skills in a fun, interactive way. Teachers should walk around the classroom to assist students who may struggle with matching the stickers to the correct numbers and to encourage them to count out loud as they work. Additionally, teachers can prepare variations of the activity, such as using different colored stickers for odd and even numbers or grouping stickers to show pairs or single units.

Class Activity: Sticker Counting Fun! – Receive your stickers from the teacher – Match stickers to numbers on the sheet – For number 5, place 5 stickers in a row – Place stickers next to each number – Ensure one sticker is placed for each number – Count out loud as you place each sticker – Practice counting up to 9 with stickers | This activity is designed to help Pre-K students practice counting to 9 in a fun and interactive way. Each student will receive a sheet with numbers 1 through 9 and a set of stickers. The teacher will guide the students to place the correct number of stickers next to each number on their sheet. For example, they will place one sticker next to the number 1, two stickers next to the number 2, and so on, up to the number 9. As they place each sticker, encourage them to count out loud to reinforce their understanding of the sequence of numbers. This hands-on activity not only helps with counting skills but also fine motor skills as they handle the stickers. Possible variations of the activity could include using different colored stickers for each number, grouping stickers to show ‘more’ and ‘less’, or having students swap sheets to count their classmates’ stickers.

Reviewing Our Sticker Counting – Let’s review counting to 9 – Count stickers on your sheets – Look at your sticker sheet, count each row of stickers out loud – Check if stickers match numbers – Do you have the same number of stickers as the number shown? – Celebrate our counting skills | This slide is aimed at reviewing the counting skills of Pre-K students by using sticker sheets. Start by engaging the students in a group activity where they count to 9 together to refresh their memory. Then, have each student count the stickers on their sheets individually, ensuring they understand that each number corresponds to the quantity of stickers. Ask them to verify if the number of stickers on their sheet matches the written numeral. Praise the students for their effort and accuracy in counting, reinforcing their confidence in number recognition and counting skills. For students who may have difficulty, provide additional guidance and practice opportunities.

Goodbye and Great Counting! – Amazing counting today! – Numbers show us ‘how many’ – Numbers like 1, 2, 3 up to 9 tell us quantity – Practice counting at home – Try counting things around you, like toys or snacks – Excited for more number fun! | This slide is a positive reinforcement for the children, praising their counting efforts and encouraging them to continue practicing at home. It’s important to remind them that numbers are a way to understand quantity in the world around them. Encourage them to count familiar items to reinforce the concept. Looking forward to the next class, instill excitement for learning more about numbers. Provide parents with simple counting activities they can do with their children, like counting steps, toys, or even snacks to make learning continuous and fun.
