Warm-up

• Review the names of the numbers from 1-5, asking the students to say the number name out loud before showing them the card. For example, show a card with the number 3 on it and ask, " What is this? " and wait for the student to respond "three." Then, show a card with the number 5 on it and ask, " What is this? " and wait for the student to respond "five."
• Repeat this with numbers 6-10.

Direct Instruction

• Introduce the concept of stating number names by showing the numbers 1-10 on cards and having the students say the number name out loud before showing them the card.

• Have the students take turns picking a card and saying the number name out loud.
• Encourage the students to help each other if they are having trouble saying the number name.

Independent Practice

• Give each student a set of number cards and have them go around the room presenting their cards to the class one at a time.
• As the students present their cards, have the class say the number names out loud.
• Encourage the students to help each other if they are having trouble saying the number name.

Closure

• Review the concept of number names and ask the students to show one-to-one correspondence by placing a number card on top of the corresponding number cube.
• Encourage the students to say the number names as they place the cards on top of the cubes.

Assessment
