Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Give learners a number of counting objects, recap lessons on counting and sequencing. Using cut out number name cards, assist learners to pick a number name card and count the number using given counters. Let them be in pairs and play "pick and count" (one person picks and the other counts). Let them do this activity individually where learners pick a numeral card and then quickly count objects to match the numeral card. Extend this activity to matching objects with the number name. Do interactive reading on a concept book on number names (if you do not number name create one), and let learner interact actively linking number names with respective numbers. Let learners play with number name cards during the reading and the post-reading stages to enhance their understanding.
