Number Stories from 1 to 10 for Kindergarten

In a child’s earliest years, numbers are learned at the pre-school (kindergarten) stage, and then in a wider and more complete way in the first grade. The more a mother at home — or a teacher in kindergarten — uses fun methods to teach children, the higher their achievement and the better their mastery of counting and writing skills. Now we will learn how to teach children numbers through stories and songs, linking each number to a tale that helps them remember it.

1- A Story About the Numbers from 1 to 10

The teacher walks into the classroom, gets the board ready, and begins with the children: “Come along, my little heroes, let’s go to Number City and visit our friends the numbers: واحد (wahid — one), اثنان (ithnan — two), ثلاثة (thalatha — three), أربعة (arba’a — four), خمسة (khamsa — five), ستة (sitta — six), سبعة (sab’a — seven), ثمانية (thamaniya — eight), تسعة (tis’a — nine), عشرة (‘ashara — ten). Who will write the numbers (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10) on the board? .. Excellent!”

“Today I’ll tell you a story about the very best number who lives in Number City. Who could it be?” The teacher shows the children some number cards and says: Number Ten was walking down the road with her little son (Zero). One day she entered Number City, and she loved the city and decided to live there. The other numbers saw her and sang to her: “Ten is a zero and a one!” Then she stood next to Nine.

Come on, let’s sing for the numbers! (“The One stands up straight.. the Two is looking at him, and Three has three little teeth, and Four is two and two, and Five is a cake with sugar, and Six is sitting and thinking, and Seven is looking up, and Eight is looking down, and Nine is grandpa’s walking stick, and Ten is a zero and a one.”) And the children sing the number song together several times.

The One called out and said: “I am the first of the numbers and the first of all things — for One is my Lord… so I am the master of the numbers.”

Ten looked around in confusion and said: “But I am the greatest in count among you, for the fingers of the hand are ten and the toes are ten, and children rejoice when they reach the number ten in their piggy banks.”

Nine replied and said: “How can Ten speak when she is only a guest who has come to us, made up of the number One hugging an empty box (Zero) so that it became ten? As for me, I am the last of the numbers and the greatest, and everyone is happy to own nine apples.”

Then Two spoke up and said: “Don’t my sweet children have two hands, two feet, two lips, two ears and two eyes? And in the Qur’an, Allah mentioned ‘of every kind, two pairs’ — so I am the best of the numbers.”

Four replied and said: “And I am double you, so my standing is twice as great as yours.”

Here Six laughed and said: “And I am written the opposite of your shape, and I point to the mind’s thinking, that’s what I express.”

Five stopped the conversation and said: “I express the geometric shape, for my circle is like the moon and the disc of the sun, and I am the easiest thing for children to write, and I point to the doughnut that children love — so I am the queen!”

Seven raised her hand, holding on to Eight, and said proudly: “We are a union, and in unity there is strength.”

And just as the whole conversation seemed to stop, Uncle Bashir stepped in to settle the disagreement and said: “None of the numbers can do without the others, for they come together to make the figures. We learn to count so we can recognize things, go to the market, and buy what we need, all relying on numbers. Numbers are our helping hands.”

“So let us all live happily together in Number City, and tomorrow we’ll go to visit Figures Island and help them prepare their party.”

“And now, my little ones, who can tell us how many balloons are in this box? .. Wonderful, my children! And now, who will put their hand into the surprise box? Come here, Ali.. go on, put your hand in and pull out what’s inside.. Ooooh, it’s a ball! How many balls do we have? Five! Well done, Ali. And now, my little ones, look for something in our classroom and tell me how many there are.”

Finally, the teacher hands out the children’s notebooks, with number worksheets from 1 to 10 attached to them.

Let the children sing the number song together…

The Number Song (Written Out)

The One — its ordinal rank is the first.
My name is the number Two, I look only to the right.
One, two!
I am Three, you clever one, I have the prettiest three teeth.
I am the Four, sweethearts, my shape is two and two.
One, two, three, four.
I am the Five, round like a cake with sugar.
Six, you smart ones, only turns to the left.
Seven the cheeky one, hands up and strong.
And I am Eight, flipped over — the opposite of Seven, and lovable.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
And I am Nine, my shape is sweet, dripping with cleverness.
And I am Ten, playing ball, a top-scorer and very clever.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten!

The mother or teacher sums up what we learn from the story:

Each of us has a role in life.. even the numbers.
Arrogance is a blameworthy trait.
Everyone cooperates together for the common good.
Humility and contentment are good traits that lead us to happiness.
The importance of learning numbers in our lives.

Tips to Improve a Child’s Counting and Arithmetic Skills

Mathematics is one of the subjects that some children find difficult enough to keep them from understanding it and from gaining confidence in themselves while learning it. If we look at working with numbers and learning math as a school subject, we find that it develops children’s mental and practical skills in their various forms. That is why both teachers at school and parents at home should follow the right methods to make a child want to learn math and gain the confidence to deal with numbers in a better way.

In the following points we offer you a set of tips to follow that will lead to a positive result with your child as they learn arithmetic and math:

When you first start teaching your child numbers, choose simple methods and tools such as: games, colors, building blocks, and other fun, appealing approaches.
Don’t limit numbers and arithmetic to lesson time only; instead make them a daily habit.
Ask your child to count things for you, for example: ask them to count how many cucumbers are in the fridge, or count the spoons on the table.. and so on.
As your child advances through their learning stages, ask them to take part with you in counting money and adding up the shopping.
Play games with your child that require arithmetic and counting.
