| 1 | Today — WARM-UP | Point at the five parts. Name where we are. |
| 2 | Numbers to 10 | First lesson of the year, so there is nothing behind us yet. We start at the idea. |
| 3 | Today — I DO | We are at I DO. Boards down and flat. |
| 4 | Every number tells you HOW MANY, and counting each thing once is how we find it. | Read this out. Do not explain it yet — the example explains it. |
| 5 | ● ● ● ● ● build 1 of 5 | Here are some counters. I will not guess — I will count. |
| 6 | ● ● ● ● ● ① ● ● ● ● build 2 of 5 | I touch each one as I say the number. One. |
| 7 | ● ● ● ● ● ① ● ● ● ● ① ② ③ ● ● build 3 of 5 | Two. Three. I do not skip and I do not go back. |
| 8 | ● ● ● ● ● ① ● ● ● ● ① ② ③ ● ● ① ② ③ ④ ⑤ build 4 of 5 | Four. Five. The last number I said is how many there are. |
| 9 | ● ● ● ● ● ① ● ● ● ● ① ② ③ ● ● ① ② ③ ④ ⑤ ① ② ③ ④ ⑤ → 5 build 5 of 5 | Five counters. I write the numeral. |
| 10 | How many counters? ● ● ● ● | Now the same thing on a new one. Watch — nothing on your boards. |
| 11 | Touch and count: 1, 2, 3, 4. The last number said is the answer. 4 answer — own slide | I say every step aloud as I write it. The board keeps all of it. |
| 12 | Today — WE DO | We are at WE DO. Boards up. |
| 13 | How many? ● ● ● ● ● ● ● | Touch each one with me. Boards up on the count of three. |
| 14 | 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 7 answer — own slide | Boards up. Everyone at once — check yours against this. |
| 15 | How many? ● ● ● | This one is small on purpose — count it anyway, do not guess. |
| 16 | 1, 2, 3 3 answer — own slide | Boards up. Everyone at once — check yours against this. |
| 17 | Today — YOU DO | We are at YOU DO. Boards down, books open. |
| 18 | Dimensions 1A — page 4 | Open your books to this page. Wait — do not start yet. |
| 19 | Do — page 4 | These are the book's own problems, same type as the three we have just done. Work them in the book. |
| 20 | Today — CLOSURE | Last part. Answers up. |
| 21 | “Did I touch every one, and only once?” | This is the question to ask yourself every time, not just today. |
| 22 | Hold up your board. How many fingers am I holding up? | One last board. Then we are finished. |
| Segment | MWB | Time | Boards | What to hold |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WARM-UP | retrieval | 3-5 min | BOARDS UP | Question up, boards up on the count. Everyone shows at once — a child who waits to see a neighbour's board has not retrieved anything. Grade 1 may drop this if the previous lesson was a review — from Grade 4 it is not optional. |
| I DO | none — they watch | 3-4 min | boards down | Boards DOWN and flat. This segment is watching, and a child writing is not watching. Say so once at the start of the year and then hold it. |
| WE DO | primary use | 5-6 min | BOARDS UP | One step, then boards up. Do not let them run ahead to the answer — the point is that everybody is on the same step at the same time. |
| YOU DO | on the sheet | 4-5 min | boards down | Boards down. This is the book's problems, worked where the work will be kept. |
| CLOSURE | answers displayed | 2-3 min | boards down | Answers on the board, children check their own. Mark nothing here. |
