The key takeaways are introducing numbers 1-10 through counting activities, modeling the concept of zero, and assessing students' understanding through individual conferences.

The steps in the lesson plan include an introduction using a nursery rhyme, teacher modeling counting with magnetic shapes, independent practice worksheets, and differentiation for different skill levels.

The materials and equipment needed are worksheets, construction paper, glue, and rainbow pom poms to represent the numbers.

Number Recognition 1-10

Lesson Plan

Teacher:
Grade: Pre-Kindergarten
Content Area: Math

1. Content and Standards:

 2.1 PK.A.1 Know number names and the count sequence.


 2.1 PK.A.2 Count to tell the number of objects.

2. Prerequisites: in order for this lesson to be approached and completed in a


successful manner, the students have previously been exposed to the
concepts of number sense and they have properly identified them visually.

3. Essential Questions:
 What are the number names and how are they important?
 How do I count to find out “how many”?
 Why is it important to understand the concept of counting?

4. Materials and Equipment:

o Know Your Numbers 1 to 10 worksheet


o set Number 1 to Tracing worksheet
o Construction paper
o Glue
o Rainbow colors pom-poms

5. Instructional Objective: At the end of the lesson, students will be able to


identify and know how to trace numbers one to ten.
 Instructional Procedures:

Before: (Introduction 5 minutes)

Have the students come together as a group.


To motivate the students, begin by saying, "Today, we will be learning about numbers.
Raise your hand if you know a number."
Randomly select students to share the number they know. This taps into their prior
knowledge.
Write down the numbers that are shared on the board.
Say, "I will share with you a poem by Mother Goose that uses all the numbers from one
to ten." Sing the poem One, Two, Buckle My Shoe.
Have the students recite the poem after you.

During:( Explicit Instruction/Teacher modeling 5 minutes)

Draw a large circle on your board.


Place 10 magnetic shapes to the right of the circle
Explain to the students that there are no items in the circle. Nothing there represents the
number zero. Zero represents nothing at all.
Move one magnetic shape into the circle, then write the number 1 above the circle. Have
the students repeat, "one."
Add another magnetic shape into the circle. Count one, two. Erase the 1 and write 2.
Have the students repeat, "one, two."
Repeat until all 10 magnetic shapes are in the circle, changing the number at the top to
reflect the number of items in the circle.
Use your index finger to count all 10 magnetic shapes in the circle.

Group work (5 minutes)


Have the students return to their desks?
Each student should have a piece of construction paper and glue.
Each student should have ten rainbow colors pom-poms.
Model the upcoming activity on the whiteboard using magnetic shapes or a shading in
dots.
Make a list on the board: 1-10. Have the students copy you as you place the correct
number of items next to each number.
Below is an example how the students' work should look.
1. *
2. **
3. ***
4. ****
5. *****
6. ******
7. *******
8. ********
9. *********
10. **********

independent practice (10 minutes)


Provide each student with one of the Know Your Numbers 1 to 10 worksheets and a
pencil.
Read the instructions for section one.
Allow the students a few minutes to complete section one.
Read the instructions for section two.
Allow the students a few minutes to complete section two.
Read the instructions for section three.
Allow the students a few minutes to complete section three.
Collect the worksheets for grading.

After:

Differentiation

Enrichment: Give above level students the entire set of ten worksheets from Know Your
Numbers 1 to 10. Allow them to complete these at their own pace.
Support: Have struggling students complete the Number 1 Tracing worksheet during
Independent Working Time for extra practice.
Assessment (10 minutes) Conduct mini conferences with the students individually at
your desk. Give them each a random amount of objects and ask them to use their index
finger to count the items aloud.
