Welcome to Numbers! – Greet our little mathematicians – Today’s focus: Numbers 1 to 10 – Interactive counting activity – We’ll count together, listen and repeat after me. – Encourage participation – Can everyone join in and count out loud? | This slide is designed to introduce Pre-K students to the concept of numbers up to 10 in a fun and interactive way. Start the class with a warm greeting to make the children comfortable. The main activity involves counting from 1 to 10, which will help the students become familiar with the number sequence. Encourage the children to listen carefully and then repeat the numbers after you. This will also help them with number recognition and pronunciation. Make sure to engage with the students by asking them to participate and count out loud, creating a lively and inclusive environment. Praise their efforts to build confidence. For the activity, you can use visual aids like number cards or fingers to help them visualize the numbers as they count.

What Are Numbers? – Numbers help us count – Numbers are used daily – Counting with fingers – Let’s count each finger, 1 to 10 – Recognizing numbers 1-10 – Listen to numbers and show fingers | This slide introduces the concept of numbers to Pre-K students. Start by explaining that numbers are tools we use to tell how many of something we have. Emphasize the everyday use of numbers, such as knowing how many candies you have or how many toys are in the box. Engage the students by counting fingers together, which helps them visualize and understand the concept of counting. Encourage them to look at their own hands and count each finger out loud from 1 to 10. This activity not only makes learning fun but also reinforces their ability to recognize and understand numbers up to 10. For the auditory learners, practice listening to numbers and then showing the corresponding number of fingers. This will prepare them for the next activity where they will choose the number that they hear.

Listen and Choose: Numbers Up to 10 – Listen to the number I say – Point to the correct number – Are you ready to listen? – Let’s try a practice round! – We’ll do a fun practice before the real game! | This slide is designed to engage Pre-K students in a listening and recognition activity involving numbers up to 10. The teacher will say a number out loud, and the students will point to the corresponding number. Before starting, ensure that the students are attentive and ready to listen. Begin with a practice round to help them understand the activity. For the practice, use numbers they are already familiar with and ensure they are comfortable with the game mechanics. During the actual activity, speak clearly and give them ample time to find and point to the numbers. Praise their efforts to build confidence. Possible variations of the activity could include using number flashcards, having students close their eyes and only listen, or turning it into a game where students ‘race’ to point to the correct number.

Number Match Game: Listening Fun! – Match numbers to object groups – Listen for the number I say – Find the group with that many items – If I say ‘3’, which group has 3 objects? – Let’s start with the number 1! – Practice with 1 item to begin | This slide introduces the Number Match Game, an interactive activity designed for Pre-K students to connect auditory number recognition with visual quantity association. The teacher will say a number aloud, and the students will be asked to identify the group of objects that matches the number they heard. Start with the number 1 to keep it simple for the students. As the game progresses, use different numbers up to 10. Encourage the children to count the objects in each group aloud to reinforce their counting skills. Possible variations of the activity could include using different sets of objects, having students take turns saying numbers, or matching number cards to object groups.

Numbers in Our World – Numbers are everywhere – Spot numbers in our room – Can you see numbers on items like your desk or book? – Numbers on the clock – Look at the clock. What numbers do you see? – Find numbers on the calendar – What is today’s date on the calendar? | This slide is designed to introduce Pre-K students to the concept that numbers are a part of our everyday environment. Start by explaining that numbers help us measure, count, and organize things. Encourage the children to look around the classroom and identify numbers they see on objects like their desks, books, or even the number of windows. Point to the clock and discuss the numbers found there, and do the same with the calendar, discussing today’s date. This activity helps students recognize that numbers are not just for math class; they are a fundamental part of our daily lives. For the activity, you can have students point to different numbers in the classroom, count items like blocks or crayons, or even have a number scavenger hunt.

Let’s Count Together! – Count objects as a group – Look at pictures and count items – Count items like apples, balls, or ducks in the picture – Count out loud together – Everyone’s voice matters, join in the counting fun! – Practice numbers up to 10 | This slide is designed to engage Pre-K students in a group counting activity to help them practice and reinforce their understanding of numbers up to 10. Display pictures with a clear number of objects, ranging from 1 to 10, and encourage the children to count the items out loud together. This will help them associate the number with the quantity of objects. Make sure to use colorful and interesting images to capture their attention. The activity should be interactive and fun, allowing the children to feel comfortable with numbers and enjoy the learning process. As the teacher, lead the counting and ensure every child participates. Praise their efforts to build confidence.

Number Song: Dance and Count! – Sing along to learn numbers – Songs with numbers improve memory – Dance as we count to 10 – Move to the rhythm and count aloud – Music makes remembering fun – Melodies help us recall numbers better – Practice counting every day | This slide is designed to engage Pre-K students with numbers through music and movement. The number song activity combines auditory and kinesthetic learning, which is very effective for young children. As you play the song, encourage the students to sing along and dance, which will help them associate the physical movement with the numbers they are counting. Music is a powerful tool for memory, and by incorporating it into the lesson, students are more likely to remember the sequence of numbers up to 10. Make sure to practice the song daily to reinforce learning. You can also use props like number flashcards or visual aids to enhance engagement.

Class Activity: Number Hunt – Listen for a number up to 10 – Find items in groups of that number – Could be pencils, blocks, or books – Ready, set, find! – Share what you found with the class – Tell us about the items and count together | This interactive activity is designed to help Pre-K students recognize and understand numbers up to 10 through a fun and engaging ‘Number Hunt’. Start by clearly saying a number up to 10 and then have the students search the classroom for items that are in groups of that number. This could be anything from pencils to blocks, or even pictures on the wall. Once they find an item, they should bring it back to their seat. After everyone has found something, go around the room and have each student share what they found and count the items in their group together. This reinforces number recognition, counting skills, and group collaboration. Prepare a list of numbers and corresponding items in the classroom to ensure a smooth activity flow.

Goodbye Numbers – Celebrate today’s counting – Acknowledge growing expertise – You’re on your way to becoming number pros! – Say farewell to the numbers – Let’s wave goodbye to each number we learned – Anticipate our next counting adventure – Can’t wait to count with you again soon! | This slide is meant to conclude the counting lesson on a positive note, reinforcing the children’s sense of accomplishment and progress in learning numbers up to 10. It’s important to celebrate their efforts and improvements in becoming ‘number experts.’ Encourage the children to physically wave goodbye to the numbers, making the activity engaging and memorable. This also helps them look forward to future lessons. As a follow-up activity, you could have the children draw their favorite numbers or practice counting objects until the next class.
