Year 1 | Maths | Numbers | Counting to 10
Added:Hello little learners. Welcome back to our fun maths lesson.
We finished all of our English lessons and now we're going to start maths. So, maths is all about numbers.
And numbers, the first basic thing you require to use numbers is learning how to count. Today, we're going to learn how to count to 10.
Okay, so we're going to learn how to count together, count objects, play counting games, and have lots of fun.
Are you ready? Let's begin.
So, as I said, we're going to learn how to count to 10 in today's video.
I'm going to tell you the number and you're going to repeat after me. Okay?
Let's count together slowly. Ready?

Now let's count some apples.
Look at the image. How many apples can you see?
One. Very good.
Now in this picture, how many apples can we see? Let's count.
One, two.
There are two apples.
The next image, let's see how many apples there are.
One, two, three.
Okay. Next one. How many apples are in this one? Let's count.
One, two, three, four, five.
Five apples. Great job.
Now, let's count how many stars there are.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10.
There's 10 stars. Excellent counting.
Let's count some toys. How many teddy bears can you see?
Let's count.
One, two, three, four.
Four teddy bears.
How many cars can you see? Let's count together.
One, two, three, four, five, six. Six cars. Wonderful.
Now, it's your turn. Can you count the number of bananas you can see?
That's right. Three bananas.
Can you count the dogs you can see?
Let's check together.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
Fantastic.
Now, let's play the missing number game, okay? I'm going to count and I'm going to leave out one number.
You have to tell me which number is missing. I might start from a random number. I might not always start from one, but make sure you clearly remember the order, okay?
Let's see. Listen very carefully.
1 2 3 4 6 7 What number is missing?
5. Great job.
Let's try another.
7 8 10 What's missing?
9. Excellent.
Let's try another one.
2 4 5 6 What number did I leave out?
That's right. It was three.
Okay. Now, we're going to do a find an object game, okay? Let's look around.
Can you find one chair?
You can just point to it. You don't have to bring it.
Wonderful.
Can you find two shoes?
Excellent.
Can you count five fingers on one hand?
Let's count together.
1 2 3 4 5 Great work.
Let's count from different numbers.
Okay? We're going to start at 3 and then we're going to go up to 10. But this time we're not starting at 1, we're starting at a random number. Okay? Let's see if we can do this. We're going to first start at 3.
Ready?
3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Fantastic.
Now start at 6.
6 7 8 9 10 Amazing.
Let's see how much you've learned.
What number comes after 4?
5, excellent.
What comes after 8?
9, wonderful.
What number comes before 10?
9, great thinking. This time we're going backwards. Yes?
How many fingers do we have on two hands? Let's count. Ready? Hold your fingers out and we're going to open them each time we say a number. Okay?
Ready? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Fantastic.
So, how many fingers do we have? We have 10 fingers.
Today, we learned how to count to 10. Let's do it one last time from one all the way to 10. Ready?
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Amazing work, everyone. You're becoming a math superstar.
You did a fantastic job counting today.
Keep counting things around you at home and at school.
Do you remember the finger trick that we did to count to 10? When you're looking to count something, you can use your fingers or use objects. So, when you count things around your house or in your school, slowly take your time.
You'll be incredible at counting.
Thank you for learning with me today.
See you next time for another fun math adventure. Bye-bye, little learners.
