Materials
- A device with internet access and speakers to play the video from mathskills4kids.com

READ THE PROCEDURE
-
Warm-up
To activate prior knowledge and introduce the topic:
- Ask the students to name places where they see numbers daily, such as clocks, calendars, signs, books, etc.
- Write their responses on the board or chart paper.
- Then, show them the number cards from 1 to 10 and ask them to say the name and symbol of each number.
- Have them repeat after you if needed.
-
Introduce number recognition from 1 to 5
- Tell the students they will watch a video to help them learn more about numbers up to 10.
- Explain that the video will ask them some questions, and they should try to answer them out loud or in their heads.
- Play the video from com (https://youtu.be/oAQlbTs7PYY) and pause it when necessary to check for understanding or clarify any confusion.
-
Practice number recognition up to 10
After watching the video:
- Divide the students into pairs or small groups and give them a set of number cards and 10 objects for counting.
- Tell them they will practice what they learned from the video by playing a game. The game works as follows:
- One student picks a number card and shows it to their partner or group.
- The other student(s) have to count out the same number of objects and place them next to the card.
- If they match, they say "Yes!" and give each other a high-five. If they don't match, they say "No!" and try again.
- They take turns picking number cards and counting objects until they use all the cards and objects.
-
Group Sharing
Bring the class back together and have some pairs or groups share their work with the rest of the class. Ask them questions like:
- How did you count the objects?
- How did you know if you had the correct number of objects?
- What did you do if you made a mistake?
- What was your favorite number or object?
-
Conclusion
- Review the lesson's main points by asking the students to recall what they learned about numbers up to 10.
- Have them say the name and symbol of each number and show you how many fingers it represents.
- Praise their efforts and achievements and tell them they did a great job.
✨ Assessment
To assess their learning, give each student a paper and crayons or markers and ask them to draw a picture that shows what they learned about numbers up to 10. They can draw anything they want, as long as it includes numbers and objects for counting. Collect their papers and check for accuracy and understanding.
