Behavioral Objectives:
By the end of the lesson, pupils should be able to:
- Identify numbers from 1-130.
- Read and write numbers 1-130 in numerals.
- Compare numbers from 1 to 130 using “more than,” “less than,” and “equal to.”

Keywords:
Numbers, Counting, More than, Less than, Equal to, Order, Shapes, Numerals, Counting by 2s, Counting by 10s
Set Induction:
- Activity: Begin the lesson by asking pupils to count from 1 to 20 aloud. Then, ask them to count backwards from 20 to 1. Praise them for their participation.
- Rationale: This introduces them to the importance of counting and sets the stage for counting numbers beyond 100.
Entry Behavior:
- Pupils should be able to count numbers from 1 to 100.
Learning Resources and Materials:
- Flashcards with numbers 1-130
- Number chart (1-130)
- Whiteboard and markers
- Playing cards with numbers
- Counters or objects for counting
- Dictation sheets for writing numbers
Building Background/Connection to Prior Knowledge:
- Pupils should already be familiar with numbers 1-100 and counting by ones.
- They have learned about greater than, less than, and equal to in previous lessons.
Embedded Core Skills:
- Communication Skills: Pupils will discuss numbers in groups and practice dictation.
- Critical Thinking Skills: Pupils will compare and order numbers.
- Problem-solving Skills: Pupils will apply counting skills in real-life situations.
Learning Materials:
- Flashcards with numbers 1-130
- Dictation practice sheets
- Counters for hands-on counting

Content:
- Definition of Whole Numbers 1-130:
- Whole numbers are numbers that do not have fractions or decimals. They are used for counting and measuring.
- Numbers 1-130 represent a set of whole numbers that can be counted from 1 to 130.
- Explanation of Numbers 121-130:
- Numbers from 121 to 130 are an extension of the basic counting numbers we use in everyday life.
- The number after 120 is 121, followed by 122, 123, 124, and so on until 130.
- Comparing Numbers Using More Than, Less Than, Equal To:
- “More than” means a number is larger.
- “Less than” means a number is smaller.
- “Equal to” means both numbers are the same.
- Counting in Ones, Twos, and Tens:
- Counting forward in ones means increasing the number by one each time.
- Counting in twos means skipping one number each time (e.g., 2, 4, 6, 8…).
- Counting in tens means skipping ten numbers each time (e.g., 10, 20, 30…).
Examples:
- 121 comes after 120.
- 125 is more than 120 but less than 130.
- 130 is the last number in this sequence.
- Counting by 2s: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10…
- Counting by 10s: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50…
