Learning Objectives
Students will be able to count, order, and say what number comes before and after a number from 0-20.
The adjustment to the whole group lesson is a modification to differentiate for children who are English learners.
Introduction
(20 minutes)
- Explain to the students that they will be working with ordering numbers from 0–20 today.
- Play the "Count to 20!" video.
- Write the word “order” on the board, and explain that order is the arrangement of things in a particular pattern or sequence. You could order some students by their height as an example.
- Ask the students to come together and show them the 0–20 Number Line Template. Tell them that they will soon make their own.
- Show students how to cut out and glue the number line together.
- Display the numbers 1–20 in order and have the whole class count to 20 with you.
- Ask the students go back to their desks.
- Hand out the Number Line Template, and tell them to begin cutting and gluing.
- Go around and assist any struggling students with this task.
- When the students are finished, bring them back together to explain the next activity.
Beginning
- When reviewing numbers 0–20, have the students repeat each number after you say it aloud.
Intermediate
- Discuss ideas of when students might encounter a number line and ways to use it.
