To prepare the lesson, make each object suggested by Haylock in his book understanding mathematics for young children. The objects readily available for the children to associate numbers with both at school are such people, pictures in books, sticks, cats, balls, ducks among others. Color the objects with markers, coloured pencils or the paint. Cut each set of the objects together with their associative numbers and place then on the wall.

The teacher must first ask the children to mention things that they know at home, and within the school and also the numbers they are aware about. Should also engage the children in discussion of animals they know who have shapes similar to particular numbers or their total number in their families.

The teacher then should then read the chart together with the children repeatedly and also from the book. The teacher should encourage the kids to undertake the activity of matching the numbers with pictures and also create a song for the same.

The teacher must start by cross checking the children’s general knowledge about the activity through asking them questions about water in their homes and how they use it. Each child should be given a chance to explain about the uses and names associated with water in their respective homes.

The teacher should then engage the children in activity of squeezing the water from the bottle and seeing how far it goes, checking how many drops they can collect with their jar lid and then connect all this with the names of such activities and drawings indicating the same and the various uses of water.

The children should be encouraged to make such drawings on their own and also repeat the same activities to their parents once they get home.

The get ready for the lesson the teacher should identify the type of song to be sang, either a beginning or ending song or songs just for fun as illustrated by Birkenshaw-Fleming. Then identify the equipments required either real toys or simple drawings, but mostly toys. The teacher should also identify where the singing will take place and if other activities will take place such as dancing.

First and foremost, the teacher must ask the children on the knowledge of songs they are aware of and the instruments they can use in playing those songs. The teacher should also allow them to sing, dance and produce the sounds of the instruments individually and with their own mouths.

Afterwards, the teacher should teach them a new song and incorporate movements such moving in circles as they sing, clapping or tapping their knees. The children should practice the same song for almost an hour in school per day every day and also at home. The teacher should also encourage the children to make their own new songs and sing them while they dance, clap or their own way.
