It's not exactly a sentence, it's just an example of someone opening a maths or science lesson at school.

I think he should correct the notice.

I was the first one to arrive.

Right, but we're talking about two lessons - the first and the second - , wouldn't it be more correct to write "first and second lessons"?

Acosta,

No, not in that context, it is not plural.

But if you say: "The first two lessons are free..." then is fine.
