Lesson Plan for Teachers on Numbers and counting up to 3

Lesson Title: Numbers and counting up to 3

Lesson Objective: Students will be able to count up to 3, recognize numbers 1-3, and understand the concept of “one-to-one correspondence.”

Materials needed: Number cards (1-3), counting bears or other manipulatives

Introduction (10 minutes): Begin by asking students if they know what numbers are. Allow them to share their understanding and provide examples of numbers they know. Introduce the numbers 1-3 and show the corresponding number cards. Have students say the numbers aloud with you.

Direct Instruction (15 minutes): Using the counting bears or other manipulatives, model counting up to 3 by placing one bear on the table, saying “one,” placing a second bear on the table, saying “two,” and placing a third bear on the table, saying “three.” Repeat this process several times, encouraging students to count along with you.

Guided Practice (20 minutes): Provide students with their own set of counting bears or manipulatives. Have them count the bears with you, starting at 1 and ending at 3. As they count, have them place the bears on a table or other surface to demonstrate one-to-one correspondence (the understanding that each object being counted corresponds to one number).

Independent Practice (20 minutes): Give each student a number card (1-3) and have them place the corresponding number of manipulatives on a table or other surface. Walk around the room to observe and assist as needed.

Closure (10 minutes): Have students share how many manipulatives they used for each number card and what number it represents. Review the numbers and counting sequence (1, 2, 3).

Assessment: Observe students during independent practice and informal conversation, take note of students being able to count up to 3, recognize numbers 1-3, and understand the concept of “one-to-one correspondence.”

Note: This is a basic lesson plan for counting up to 3 and recognizing numbers 1-3, it can be extended or modified as per the need and level of the students.
