Logic and Early Math Lesson - Enrichment, Number Stories - 1 More, Preschool
In the "Enrichment" lesson, designed for preschool students under the chapter "Number Stories - 1 More" in the unit "Counting to 5," young learners will embark on an exciting educational journey. This lesson introduces the concept of addition by focusing on the idea of "1 more." Using the Castle Counting Worksheet as an engaging activity, students will visually explore how numbers transform when we add one more to them. This playful approach not only makes learning fun but also helps solidify their understanding of basic counting principles and introduces foundational math skills in an accessible manner.
Understanding the concept of "1 more" is crucial for preschool students as it lays the groundwork for more complex mathematical operations such as addition and subtraction that they will encounter in future grades. By mastering the ability to count to 5 and recognizing how numbers increase, students develop critical thinking skills, improve number sense, and build a strong base for mathematical reasoning. This lesson, through its creative and interactive approach, ensures that students not only learn but also appreciate the significance of numbers in everyday life, setting a positive trajectory for their future learning experiences.

Activity 1 / Enrichment: Castle Counting Worksheet
Your kids will need as much added help as they can possibly get as they learn how to count. Before they get to the more difficult aspects like adding, subtracting, and multiplying, your kids must first be experts at counting numbers as high as they can. Look at the pictures in this printout. Point at the picture in the middle. Can your kids identify the images? Now, help them figure out and check the group that shows 1 more than the one in the middle.
