Description

Lesson plan:

Read Aloud – One Duck Stuck

• Read the story aloud with expression, pausing after each new group of animals appears. Ask:
• “How many animals came to help the duck?”
• Encourage students to count aloud together.

Matching the Animals

• After reading, display the flashcards (with numerals and groups of animals) in random order on the board or floor.
• Pose the big question: “Who came and helped the duck first, second, third…?”
• Students use numeracy skills, such as numeral reading, counting, or subitising, to place the flashcards in story order (e.g., 2 fish, 3 moose).
• You can also emphasise the sequence of events using the number line.

Ordering Numbers and Matching Animals

• Mix up the flashcards and invite students to reorder them from 1 to 10 using their numeracy skills.
• Reinforce ordinal language: first, next, then, last if possible.
