Numbers are everywhere! They help us count and understand the world. Today, we’re going to learn about the number one. It’s the first number we learn and it’s very important!
Let’s find the number one on our bodies. You have one nose. Can you point to it? Great! Now, stick out your tongue. You have one tongue too! See? That’s the number one!
Writing the number one is easy! Start at the top and draw a straight line down. That’s it! You can also spell it like this: O-N-E.
We use the number one in many ways. If you want a sandwich, you say, “One sandwich, please.” This means you want just one sandwich.
Here’s a fun fact: Unicorns have one horn. So, when someone asks how many horns a unicorn has, you can say, “One!”
After we learn about one, we move on to the next number, which is two. Learning numbers in order helps us understand bigger numbers and do math!
The number one is special because it means just one thing. It’s important for counting and knowing when something is unique. Next, we’ll learn about the number two and more numbers after that!
Number One Scavenger Hunt: Go on a scavenger hunt around your home or classroom to find things that come in ones. Can you find one chair, one clock, or one door? Take turns with a friend and see who can find the most items that are just one!
One and Only Drawing: Draw a picture of something that has only one of its kind. It could be a unicorn with one horn, a person with one nose, or a clock with one face. Share your drawing with the class and explain why you chose that item.
One Minute Observation: Set a timer for one minute and observe something interesting around you. It could be a plant, a toy, or a pet. After the minute is up, share one thing you noticed about it. This helps us pay attention to details and appreciate the uniqueness of one thing at a time.
