Description
Counting Groups of Objects
This counting objects activity helps young learners count groups of 1 to 6 things and write how many. The objects on each card are scattered rather than lined up, so children learn to touch and count each one once, no matter how a group is arranged. That one-to-one counting is the base for every number skill that comes next.
How to Use Count and Write
Cut out the six count cards. Each child gets a Count and Write sheet with six pictures. Children look at a picture, find the card with the same object, touch and count each object on the card, and write the number in the box. The counting objects activity works well at a math center, in a small group or with a partner, and it is a fun preschool counting activity that also fits kindergarten review. A Kindergarten practice worksheet gives six new groups to count, with the number written in a square.
What’s Included
- Colorful cover page
- How to Use page with simple steps
- 6 count cards with 1 to 6 objects
- Count and Write recording sheet
- Kindergarten practice worksheet
- Answer keys for the recording sheet and the practice page
Why This Activity Helps Kids
- Scattered groups teach children to count every object exactly once.
- Matching a picture to its card adds a fun search to each count.
- Writing the number links the spoken count to the numeral.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Count real toys, apples or blocks in scattered piles, have children build a group to match a card, or ask them to draw their own count card for a friend. You can also call out a number and have children hold up the card that shows that many.
