Count and Write Worksheets for Kindergarten
Teach one-to-one counting by matching one spoken number to one picture.
Teaching notes for parents and teachers
How to teach it
Have the student point to or mark each picture once. Ask them to repeat the final number to name the whole collection.
Example to work through together
Use the model below as you explain the example. Have your student point to the quantities as you discuss them.
Try it with six counters: move each counted counter to a new row while saying one number word. Stop when every counter has moved.
The last number spoken tells how many counters are in the whole group. It does not describe only the last counter.
Ask your student
How can we keep track of the pictures already counted?
If your student needs help
If a picture is counted twice, use a steady pointing path or movable counters.
Make a practice set
Select the worksheet, answer key, or both. When both are selected, the answer key prints after the questions. Keep it separate if you want your student to work independently.
After your student finishes
Invite the child to explain one choice with objects, pointing, or a drawing. Offer help recording the answer when needed. Choose another activity when the child is ready for a different way to use the same quantities.
