This lesson plan uses the story Ten Little Monkeys to teach students to count from one to ten. As the teacher reads the story, students place monkey manipulatives on their board and count along up to that number, touching each one with their finger. At the end, the teacher checks that each student can count sequentially from one. Students are then asked how many monkeys there are in total to reinforce counting all the way to ten.
