Also, a suggestion if you're teaching younger children, or if your child hasn't mastered counting to ten yet: Instead of venturing on past 15, start over with 1 again and go through 10 to solidify those numbers. The larger numbers get harder and confusing, so if you're child isn't following when you get into the higher numbers, just start over with 1.
I have included a lot of the pictures you will need in the printable version of the lesson plan to make life easier for you! Make sure you click on the printable version to get all the content you will need!

Remember that the "Facts about..." pages and other extras are not included in the blog text, but they are included in the printable version. Some of the ideas in these plans came from Brightly Beaming Resources. Each daily session of "School Time," as my son calls it will last about half an hour. Adjust the lessons for your child's age and level of education. Enjoy!
