Title: Introduction to Number Notation
Objective: - To introduce nursery 1 students to number notation - To help students recognize and identify numbers from 1 to 10 - To develop basic counting skills
Materials: - Number flashcards (1-10) - Whiteboard or chart paper - Markers or colored pencils - Counting objects (e.g., blocks, toys, or stickers) - Worksheets or coloring pages with numbers 1-10
Procedure:
- Introduction (5 minutes):
- Greet the students and gather them in a circle.
- Show the number flashcards one by one, from 1 to 10, and ask the students to repeat each number after you.
- Encourage students to count along with you as you display the flashcards.
- Number Recognition Activity (10 minutes):
- Distribute the number flashcards to the students.
- Ask the students to hold up the correct flashcard when you call out a number.
- Repeat this activity a few times, gradually increasing the speed to challenge the students.
- Counting Objects (10 minutes):
- Give each student a small set of counting objects (e.g., blocks, toys, or stickers).
- Instruct the students to count the objects and place them in a line on their desk.
- Walk around the classroom, providing assistance and encouragement as needed.
- Number Formation (10 minutes):
- Write the numbers 1 to 10 on the whiteboard or chart paper.
- Demonstrate how to form each number, emphasizing the correct stroke order.

- Ask a few students to share their favorite part of the lesson or something new they learned.
- Thank the students for their participation and enthusiasm.
Extension Activities (optional): - Play a number recognition game using flashcards or a number chart. - Create a number line on the classroom wall and have students place stickers or drawings of objects next to each number. - Use counting songs or rhymes to reinforce number recognition and counting skills.
Assessment: - Observe students’ participation and engagement during the activities. - Check students’ ability to recognize and identify numbers during the number recognition activity. - Assess students’ number formation skills during the writing practice. - Review completed worksheets or coloring pages for accuracy and understanding.
