About this resource
Description
Young learners build number sense when they count real groups and connect them to a written number. This Deep Sea Diving numbers recognition activity helps preschool, kindergarten and 1st grade students count sea animals and treasures in ten frames and write how many, from 1 all the way to 20.
Turn your classroom into the ocean floor! Tape one set of counting cards around the room and send children diving with a recording sheet and a pencil. On each card they count the fish, starfish, sea turtles or other ocean finds in a ten frame, then write the number next to the matching picture on their sheet. Set 1 counts 1 to 10 in one ten frame. Set 2 counts 11 to 20 with one full frame of ten and some more, so children see how teen numbers are built. A kindergarten practice page gives six new ten frames to count and write.
What’s Included
- A colorful cover page
- A How to Use page with simple steps and prep tips
- 10 Set 1 counting cards (1 to 10)
- 10 Set 2 counting cards (11 to 20)
- A recording sheet for each set
- A kindergarten practice worksheet: count and write the number
- Answer keys for both recording sheets and the practice page
Why This Activity Helps Kids
- Ten frames help children count in an organized way and see five and ten at a glance.
- Writing the number after counting links a quantity to its numeral.
- Moving around the room keeps young learners active and excited about math.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use Set 1 with preschool and early kindergarten students and Set 2 when children are ready for teen numbers. The cards also work at a small group table: lay them out and ask children to find the card with 7 sea turtles. At home, use the preschool counting activity as a fun treasure hunt around the house. Come back to the Deep Sea Diving numbers recognition activity whenever your class needs a quick counting review.
