Goal: for children to learn the numbers from 1-12
Materials:
Procedure: The paper roll is painted, each Child chooses a color, and then they glue a circle with the numbers on it.
That way children repeat the numbers on their clock.
Activity: Jumping
Materials:
The figures are placed on the floor about a foot apart and the children are asked to jump from one figure to another. You can just say the colors or the geometric figure or both depending on the age of the child.
This activity helps children in the cognitive area (colors and figures), Health and development: Gross motor and likewise the social/emotional area because children learn that they have to wait to take turns.

Many times we have spacious rooms with a lot of material which we rarely use. We can use every corner to implement didactic design that promotes the cognitive development of children. Remember, your teaching design can be simple or elaborate. It doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s, because what works for others won’t necessarily work for you.
It is important to highlight that an educational learning method is that set of steps to follow to generate a change in the student, so that they can learn and enhance their skills.
It is important that all furniture such as tables and chairs are suitable considering the size of children and preschool children.
Appropriate didactic ideas to implement in lesson plans:
1. Corners or an area where you have didactic spaces: Balls that can bounce off while learning. If you have enough space, you could install a small swing, a mini handrail, or a ladder with a slide.
2. Reading area: Large pillows are ideal for a moment of reading
3. Creativity area: Use the table, place a paper and a sheath cover with different temperatures, and seal it with adhesive tape. The little ones can use it to practice writing at the table.
4. Play station for the little ones: A kitchen with wooden toys, a painting easel, building blocks, materials with different textures, are some of the activities that you could implement here.
5. Music territory: Teaching through music wooden musical instruments, multicultural music discs for children.
6. Number space: stacking blocks are great for teaching counting, stacking, sorting by color, and other math-related activities.
The characteristics of a didactic material can vary according to the objectives, the characteristics of the students and the study conditions, as well as the infrastructures and access to technologies. For example, a teaching material for the area of mathematics cannot be prepared in the same way as for art history.
Among some characteristics, the didactic material:
