Tutoring Plan: Number Recognition

Lesson Plan

Objective: When presented 10 flash cards (1-10) one at a time, the student will name each numeral with 90% accuracy.

Activity:

1. Have the student sit opposite of tutor at a desk or table with surface cleared of any objects.
2. Show the student one flash card at a time.
3. a) Say: "What number is this? Record on chart "+" if the student responds correctly, "-" if the student does not respond correctly.
   
   b) If the student does not respond correctly, say: "This is number ___. Trace ___. (Be sure student follows arrow.) As the student traces the number, say the name of the number.
   
   Then repeat 3(a) for that number.
4. Repeat step 3 for each card, marking the response on the graph.

   Work for 10 minutes.

   Throughout the lesson offer support and encouragement: "Good job!", "You're doing very well!", or "I really like the way you're working!" Do not, however, use any responses that show if the student is giving a correct response: "You're right!", "That's correct!"

   Materials: 3x5 textured flash cards for numbers 1-10 with direction arrows for tracing numbers.
