Objective

By the end of this lesson, you will be able to understand how different numbers relate to each other up to 10.

Materials and Prep

Materials: Paper, crayons, markers, and a counting chart up to 10.

Prep: Make sure the student is familiar with numbers 1 to 10 before starting the lesson.

Activities

• Draw pictures of different animals and count how many legs they have. Then add the legs together to see how many legs there are in total.

• Create a fun game where the student has to match the correct number of objects to the corresponding number written on a card.

• Use the counting chart to identify numbers and show how they are related to each other. For example, 5 is made up of 2 and 3.

Talking Points

• "Numbers are like puzzle pieces that fit together to make bigger numbers."

• "When we add 2 and 3 together, we get 5. It's like putting two puzzle pieces with three puzzle pieces to make a picture of 5."

• "Let's draw a picture of a cat with 4 legs. How many legs would 2 cats have together?"

• "When we count, we can see how different numbers are related to each other, just like how friends play together."

• "Numbers can be friends and help each other make bigger numbers, just like we help our friends."
