- Students will understand the sequence of numbers from 1 to 20.
Introduction
Start the lesson by showing students a number chart from 1 to 20. Ask them to count aloud from 1 to 20. Show flashcards with the number words for 1 to 20 and ask students to read them aloud. Explain that today they will learn how to write these numbers in digit form.
Explicit Instruction/Teacher modeling
Write the number word "one" on the whiteboard and ask students what number it represents. Show them how to write the number 1. Repeat this process for the numbers 2 to 20. Emphasize the correct formation of each digit and the importance of writing them neatly.

Guided Practice
Hand out the TeachTastic Worksheet Pack for identifying and writing numbers from 1 to 20. Work through the first few problems as a class, asking students to say the number word and then write the corresponding digits. Provide support and correct any mistakes as needed.
Independent Practice
Have students complete the rest of the worksheet independently. Circulate around the room to provide assistance and ensure students are correctly identifying and writing the numbers.
Differentiation
Support
- Provide number charts and flashcards for students who need additional help.
- Offer one-on-one support to students struggling with number identification and writing.
- Use tactile activities like tracing numbers in sand or using playdough to form numbers.
Extension
- Have students practice writing numbers beyond 20.
- Encourage students to write number sentences using the numbers 1 to 20 (e.g., 10 + 5 = 15).
- Provide puzzles and games that involve number matching and sequencing for numbers 1 to 20.
Assessment
Evaluate students' worksheets and exit tickets to assess their understanding of identifying and writing numbers from 1 to 20. Use the TeachTastic Worksheet Pack to provide additional practice if needed.
Review and closing
Summarize the lesson by reviewing the numbers 1 to 20. Address any common misconceptions and ensure students feel confident in their ability to write these numbers. Allow time for questions and provide positive reinforcement for their efforts.
Misconceptions
- Confusing the order of digits (e.g., writing 12 instead of 21).
- Difficulty distinguishing between similar-sounding numbers (e.g., fourteen and forty).
- Incorrectly forming the digits.
