Counting Small Numbers for Class 1
Hello, students! Today, we are going to learn about counting small numbers. This is a very important skill because it helps us understand numbers and how to use them in our daily lives. Let's start with the basics.
What is Counting?
Counting means saying numbers in the correct order while matching each number with an object. For example, if you have five apples, you say "one" for the first apple, "two" for the second apple, and so on until you reach "five."
Steps for Counting
1. Recognizing Numbers:
First, we need to know what numbers look like. Here are the numbers from 1 to 9:
- 1
- 2
- 3
- 4
- 5
- 6
- 7
- 8
- 9
2. Counting Objects:
Now let's practice counting with some objects. Look at these pictures and count the objects in each picture.
Example 1: Apples
Let's count the apples together:
- One (1)
- Two (2)
- Three (3)
- Four (4)
- Five (5)
So, there are five apples.
3. Number Names:
We also need to know the names of numbers. Here are the names for numbers 1 to 9:
- 1 - One
- 2 - Two
- 3 - Three
- 4 - Four
- 5 - Five
- 6 - Six
- 7 - Seven
- 8 - Eight
- 9 - Nine
4. Number Sequencing:
Let's put the numbers in the correct order. Say them with me:
- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
Great job! Now, let's try filling in the missing numbers:
- 1, __, 3, __, 5
- The missing numbers are 2 and 4.
5. Comparing Numbers:
Let's learn to compare numbers. We can say if one number is more (bigger) or less (smaller) than another number.
Example:
- Which is more: 3 or 5?
- Five is more than three.
- Which is less: 7 or 2?
- Two is less than seven.
Activities and Practice

You have five fingers on one hand.
Activity 2: Counting Toys
Take some of your toys and count them. How many cars do you have? How many dolls?
