Description

What our Numbers: Two lesson plan includes

Lesson Objectives and Overview: Numbers: Two teaches young learners about the number two. By the end of the lesson, students will be able to recognize the number two and demonstrate understanding of the concept of “two” by counting two objects. This lesson is for students in preschool.

TWO SHOES ACTIVITY

For the activity, students will color and decorate a pair of shoes. Pass out craft supplies of your choice to decorate the shoes, and allow students to decorate the shoes as they desire. Once the shoes are complete, read the caption at the bottom of the page with the students. “2 – Two shoes ready to play!” Save the page for the numbers book.

At the end of this activity, students will have created the second page in their numbers book. By the end of the unit, students will have a page for each of the numbers 1 through 10. Keep all of the activities from all the “Numbers” lessons and staple them together. Add the cover page from the Additional Resources in the Numbers: One lesson plan. Once completed, read the book with your students and send them home for families to enjoy.

Options and Extensions

There are a couple of additional options you could add to the lesson. Create a 2 number bracelet. Using a pipe cleaner, have students add two pony beads. Label the bracelet with the number two using tape and a marker. Let students wear their number bracelet. Using the number 2 sheet included in Additional Resources, have students trace the number with their finger, then a pencil or crayon if desired. Students can then add two stickers or use dot markers to complete the ten-frame.

Read the featured book One Shoe, Two Shoes by Caryl Hart. As an extension to the lesson, read Two Eggs Please by Sarah Weeks, Two Little Monkeys by Mem Fox, and No Two Alike by Keith Baker.

ADDITIONAL RESOURCES

Our preschool lessons include additional resources that you can use throughout the lesson. They are provided to give you as much content as possible to complete the lesson without having to find sources on their own. For instance, if the lesson requires you to show students pictures, you can use the ones in the additional resources.

Preschool Philosophy

Our preschool curriculum is thoughtfully designed by professional teachers to nurture curiosity, build foundational skills, and prepare young learners for kindergarten and beyond. Each preschool lesson plan offers age-appropriate activities to promote early literacy, math readiness, creativity, and social-emotional growth.

At the preschool level, children are developing rapidly—socially, emotionally, physically, and academically. The goal of our lesson plans for preschool is to provide structured yet engaging learning experiences that spark imagination, encourage problem-solving, and foster a lifelong love of learning.

CURRICULUM FOCUS

Our curriculum focuses on key objectives such as:

• Building early literacy and language skills through stories, songs, and interactive activities.
• Developing number sense, shapes, colors, and patterns with hands-on lessons.
• Encouraging creativity and self-expression through art, play, and music.
• Supporting social-emotional development, cooperation, and confidence.
• Strengthening fine and gross motor skills through active learning.
