This lesson plan is for a two-day kindergarten lesson on counting to 50. On day one, students will learn to count to 30 through direct instruction, modeling, and counting stations. Formative assessments include questioning and a popcorn counting activity. Day two reviews counting to 30 and teaches numbers 30-50 in the same manner, with assessments of individual counting and a connect-the-dots worksheet. Consistent signals and multisensory techniques support diverse learners.

Group Members: Jessica Mills and Alexis Gibson
Lesson Due Date: November 5th
Grade Level and Teacher Name: Kindergarten/ Mrs. Leach
Day 1
Part 1 - Lesson Setup
Standard: K.NS.1: Count to at least 100 by ones and tens and count on by one
from any number.
Objective: From memory, students will count to 30 by ones orally with 80%
accuracy.
o Attention-Getting Signal ( Miss Mills):
Teacher will say
“hands on top” while putting hands on head, students will copy behavior of
putting hands on head while saying “that means stop!”
o Behavior Expectations (Miss Mills):
 Listening Bodies- I will listen and follow directions and stay in my seat.
 Raised Hands- I will raise my hand to share ideas.
 Respect Others- I will be nice to others, remember to share, and keeps
hands to myself.
o Materials List (include at least one category of the four for visual supports):
 counting video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9ldYkMtZcM (email to
leach)
 0-50 counting chart (for direct instruction) (email to leach)
 video recorder (laptops)
 index cards (1_, 2 _, 3_, 4_, 5_) (0-9) (6 sets of 10s place cards) (6 sets of
0-9 cards) (Miss Mills)
 magnets for index cards (Miss Mills)
Part 2 – Lesson Opening (possibly have students on the carpet area)

2. o Build Prior Knowledge/Connection to Personal Experiences ( Miss.Gibson):
 Ask Student Questions to assess prior knowledge
 Have you been learning how to count?
 How high can you count?
 Explain to students that we will teach them how to count higher
than 25.
 When do you think you can practice counting/what kinds of things can you
count?
o Hook: Counting Video/Sing Along ( Miss. Mills)
Counting Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9ldYkMtZcM
o Goal for Learner: Today, boys and girls, we are learning about how to count
from one to thirty.
Part 3 – Lesson Body (Miss Gibson)
o Explain (Content):
1. Explain to students that we are going to learn how to count to 30 starting
from one
2. Have students sit in their grouped desks with eye on teacher for direct
instruction
3. Explain to students that we are going to begin counting to ten.
4. Start with 0 column. Go horizontal and explain numbers like (10,20,30,)
5. Start with 0-9 and then continue to ten.
6. Have students count out loud with teacher
7. Start the same thing with remaining numbers to the number 30.
8. Emphasize with students that when you are going from 10,20,30 the first
numbers always stays the same. Like 2,3, and they need change second
number
9. Allow students to answer what number comes next.
o Model (Demonstrate a product/Demonstrate a process) ( Miss. Mills and
Miss.Gibson):

3. 1.Model counting using fingers and fist signaling to practice. (Fist for
counting 0-10, and adding a finger to demonstrate the tens place value, 1 finger
for 10s, 2 fingers for 20s, etc.)
2. After we have modeled have students participate and check for
understanding
3.Repeat if needed
o Supervised Practice Activity: Students will participate in counting stations.
(Miss Mills) Model activity first
Modeling Instructions:
 Students in assigned seats
 Get whiteboard, magnets, and index cards out
 Show index card with tens place first (2_) and place on whiteboard
 Display the 0-9 index cards on whiteboard
 Move each number index card over to partner with the 2_ card in
numerical order while counting along.
 Go over behavior expectations again
o Listening Bodies- I will listen and follow directions and stay in my
seat.
o Raised Hands- I will raise my hand to share ideas.
o Respect Others- I will be nice to others, remember to share, and
keeps hands to myself.
 Have students put their hands on their heads to show completion of
activity and teacher can check it over.
 Then if time allows, give students a new place value card and repeat the
procedure.
1. Each student will get in assigned groups ( 5 groups) ( 4-5 people per
group)
2. We will separate groups according to seating in classroom.
3. We place index cards with a number ( for example: 2__) on the table.
4. Have students count from 20-29 and so on and match with correct index
card (numbers 0-9)
5. Teachers will walk around checking comprehension. (Give students
positive praise)
6. Students will put their hands on head when they have completed a set of
numbers.
7. After students are checked for comprehension, give them the next set of
numbers.
8. Make sure each group gets the opportunity to practice 0-30.
9. Collect materials
Get students attention to transition to next activity “ Hands on Top” wait for all
students to have hands on head.
Part 4 – Assessment :

4. o Checks for Understanding (formative assessment techniques and
questioning):
Questioning (Miss. Gibson):
 Can you list the numbers 1- 30 (given a certain range of numbers, 1-10,
20-30) ?
 Can you retell the numbers 1- 30? (could even be a repetition process we
go through)
Observe students and join in with the students.
Popcorn Activity (Miss Mills):
1. Students are seated in their seats.
2. We are going to count to 30 as a class.
3. Remind students that they should be listening so they know what number
will be coming next and so they are paying attention to when it’s their turn.
4. Miss Gibson will start the count at 0, and each person after that will count
one number higher in numerical order.
5. When Miss Gibson put her hand over you, it will be your turn, and you will
say the next number.
6. Repeat process until students have counted to 30 as a class.
Part 5 – Closing(Miss Gibson)
o Review of the Objective (Higher Level Questions):Today we learned about
how to count from 1 to 30.
Questions:
 Are we building onto numbers when we count?
 Can you predict what numbers will come next (in the 1-30 range) ?
o Real Life Application:
 Do you have to count time or money?
 What things can you can count at home up to thirty?
o food, toys, flowers, pennies
Additional Considerations
List at least one strategy you used to account for these categories in your lesson.
Diversity Strategy – Consistent nonverbal signals and utilizing different learning
styles (visual, auditory, kinesthetic)
Active Participation Strategy –We will practice using hands on top now let’s stop
to get students attention throughout the lesson.
Accommodation/Modification (Gear Up/Gear Down) – Accomodate prior
knowledge to build off of. For example, our class has only learned how to count
to 25 so we are going to teach our students how to count to fifty instead of 100.
This is more of a measurable goal for our students.
