This lesson teaches Year 1 students how to count to 20 by first mastering counting to 10, then extending to teen numbers (11-20). Students learn to count forwards and backwards, identify missing numbers in sequences, and count from any starting number, not just from 1. The lesson reinforces number recognition through counting objects like balloons, stars, and apples, and develops number sense through interactive games and practice questions.

Year 1 | Maths | Numbers | Counting to 20
Added:Hello little learners. Welcome back to our fun maths lesson. Today we're going to learn how to count to 20.
We'll count together, count different objects, play fun number games, and become amazing counters. Are you ready?
Let's begin. So, in our previous video, we learned how to count to 10. So this time we're going to learn how to count to 20. To learn how to count to 20, we have to go up to 10 first, then go up to 20. So it comes in an order. Ready? We already know 1 to 10. So we're going to say that once just to recap, and then we're going to see what comes after it.
Ready? 1.
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 Fantastic. Let's try again a little faster. Are you ready? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20.
After 10 comes the teen numbers. So the second half of what we learned. Let's say them together. Ready? 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20.
Very good.
Now, we're going to play the counting game. I'm going to show you some objects and you're going to count how many of that object there are. Okay. So, first let's count some balloons. How many balloons are there? Let's count together.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10.
There are 10 balloons. Fantastic.
Let's count the number of stars. Ready?
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12. There are 12 stars.
Now let's count 15 apples. Count with me. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15.
Excellent work. Now it's your turn. Can you count the number of ladybirds?
Let's check.
There are one 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 nine. There are nine ladybirds.
Brilliant. Now, can you count the number of pencils? How many are there?
That's right, 14 pencils. Fantastic.
Now, like we did in our previous video, let's play the missing number game.
Okay, I'm going to start with a number and I'm going to complete it up to a certain point. I'm going to miss out one number, but I'm not going to make it obvious which one it is. You have to listen very carefully and see which number is missing. This time, instead of going up to 10, I'm going to go up to 20. As I said before, I don't have to always start at one. I can start at any number and finish at any number. So, I don't have to go from one all the way to 20. Okay? I can go from 2 to 7. That also counts. Are you ready to play?
Okay, now listen up very very carefully.
One 2 3 5 6. What's missing?
Four. Great job. Okay, now next one.
Listen. 10 11 13 14 15 What's missing?
12. Excellent.
Last one. 16 17 19 20. What's missing in this one?
18. Amazing.
Let's think now. I'm going to tell you a number. You're going to tell me what comes after it. Okay.
What comes after seven?
Eight. Wonderful. What comes after 12?
13. Fantastic.
What comes after 19?
20. Excellent.
Let's look around your room.
Can you find five books? You can just point them out. Don't worry, you don't have to bring them. Can you point and tell me five books that are around your room?
Great job. Can you count 10 fingers? We did this in our previous video. Let's see if you can do it on your own.
Excellent.
Let's start counting from different numbers. So, sometimes you will be given or asked to count numbers from a specific point. You might not always be asked to count from the number one. You might have to count from the number 10 or from the number three or from the number 13. Okay, so we're going to practice starting from different numbers. We're going to start at five and we're going to go up to 15. Are we ready?
5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15. Fantastic.
Now start at 11.
11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20.
Wonderful.
The trick here is any number that comes after, for example, in this case 11, forget about it. Okay? You only need to think about the number that comes after.
Ignore the numbers that come before and then finish to whatever you're asked to finish it to. Okay, let's see what you remember for a quick quiz. Okay, what number comes after 15?
16. Excellent. What number comes before 20?
19. Great job. Remember, we're saying the word before. So, make sure you really listen to the question. Okay.
What number comes after 18?
19. Fantastic.
Let's count together one more time.
Ready? From 1 to 20.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20. You did it. Give yourself a big clap.
Fantastic work today, little learners.
You counted all the way to 20. You counted objects. You found missing numbers. And we played some really fun counting games, too. Keep counting as always. Everything you see around you.
The more practice, the better you'll become. So, thank you for learning with me today. See you next time for another fun maths adventure. Bye-bye, friends.
