Scholars practice identifying and counting syllables. Images of classmates are cut out and placed on a chart. Learners clap and count the syllables in each child's name. They finish by writing the number of syllables under the...

Hop to it! Beginning counters fill in water lily number sequences as a frog "hops" across them, skip counting by twos. There are five sequences in total, and some require counting backward. Learners can reference the two examples, which...

Young mathematicians study the relationship between skip counting and multiplication. They build on skip counting skills and examine arrays while studying multiplication. Resources are provided.

Scholars make a pictograph based on the number of syllables in each picture card. They choose a card, say the name of the object on the card, break the word into syllables, count the syllables, then glue the picture onto the number chart...

This great activity incorporates counting, phoneme segmenting, and class photos. In pairs, learners take turns saying, counting, and checking the number of phoneme segments found in their classmates' names. They count the phonemes and...

Don't let these sneaky snakes fool your little learners! A number chart lists numbers 1 - 100, but several snakes are blocking many of the numbers. Mathematicians figure out which numbers are hidden and fill them in next to the...

This simple and fun game collaborates young mathematicians as they practice counting. Using a double ten frame each, partners alternate rolling a die and filling in spaces with as many counters as was rolled. They continue until both...

Focus on the number 10 as part of a series of worksheets for young counters. First, they trace the word ten and print it once or twice on their own. Next, learners draw 10 bottles onto an image of a brick wall and examine sets of...

Looking for a good lesson on counting and sorting? This lesson is worth a look! In this classification lesson, learners sort buttons by color, shape, shiny verses not shiny, or number of holes.

Developing a strong number sense in the primary grades is essential to the success of young mathematicians. These simple worksheets present learners with a series of ten-frames, asking them to write the number shown in each model....

Select items to purchase from a store, add up the total cost, then estimate the total cost! Kids count out the money needed to make the purchase and pay for the items. An excelent way to connect real life math and estimation!

Analyzing and understanding word problems is extremely important. Pupils learn that in money problems, earn usually means you add and spend usually means you subtract. They will solve a series of money-related word problems, label coins,...

Learners will have fun trying to trick their classmates in this interactive ten-frame riddle activity. After choosing a number and filling in the frame, they create three clues to challenge a classmate trying to guess their number. A...

Even though each of these sets of images has a number below it, the two may not match up! The challenge is to circle the number of objects matching the numeral in each box. Kids can either circle individual objects or draw a large circle...

Have crumpets with the queen! Kindergartners count the number of crumpets on each plate - all add up to six - and write the correct number in the space provided. They then copy a dominoes pattern for different ways to add up to six, and...
