Students will be able to count to 10 using one-to-one correspondence. Students will practice their fine motor skills.

Introduction

(5 minutes)
  • Begin the lesson by explaining to your students that they will play a game about counting cubes, or determining how many cubes there are.
  • Tell your students that they will use tongs to put one-inch cubes into a container. After putting all 10 cubes into the container, inform them that they can strike the drum with a drumstick.
  • Inform your students that they will then switch positions with another student so that everyone gets a chance to count and strike the drum.
