Students explore numbers by participating in basic counting activities. In this early math lesson, students identify the numbers between 1 and 5 and read several books that demonstrate early counting. Students practice counting to 5 on...

Five days of lessons develop number sense and counting patterns, including odd and even numbers, 5s and 10s, doubles, and ways to make 10. Each session opens with fun finger play to reinforce counting and reasoning about numbers. Various...

Students explore number sense by participating in a counting activity. In this whole numbers lesson, students identify the first 5 numbers after 0 and practice writing them in class. Students utilize visual aides to assist them and...

In this counting worksheet, students count ten groups of objects and circle the number that tells how many are in each group. Amounts of each item vary from one through five.

Post-Halloween learners bring in candy treats to use for counting practice. They estimate how full a bowl of candy will get when there are 100 and 200 pieces of candy counted and put in it. They take turns counting to 100 and 200;...

Jump into equivalent fractions using these fun scenarios for mathematicians to solve. First, they use geoboards to find different ways to divide a rectangle in half. Then, an alien from the planet Fractional is after one half of their...

Help young mathematicians read and interpret numbers from 1 to 10 and sequence them correctly with this card game. Using a deck of cards and two to three classmates, have one player hand out ten cards to each gamer and then put the extra...

Your youngest mathematicians skip count by 2's, 5's, and 10's as they sing along to a Hap Palmer song that helps them remember the patterns. Students practice in whole group and then individually with the worksheet provided, using the...

Youngsters chorally count to 100 by 1s, 2s, 5s, and 10s, and backwards from 20, using chip markers and a hundreds chart. Includes a printable chart and a teacher checklist for assessing mastery.

A daily counting routine builds a caterpillar with 100 body segments (marked with symbols to indicate 2s, 5s, and 10s) by the 100th day of school. Provides structured repetition as part of the morning routine so that by 100th day,...

In this counting to 5 worksheet, students solve 10 problems in which objects in a set are counted and the correct number circled.

In this beginning counting worksheet, students count the number of objects in a box. Then, they circle the correct number from the options below the objects. There are 8 questions on this worksheet.

Budding mathematicians explore the concept of skip counting. They practice skip counting as they use it to determine the number of wheels that come to school at 3 different times throughout the day. They also create a data graph to show...

Intended for learners with autism and developmental disabilities, this lesson uses the strategy of counting-on to enhance independent shopping skills. Learners will practice counting on to the next dollar value in order to purchase items...

In this number identification and counting worksheet, students circle the number of St. Patrick's Day pictures that are in each of 6 boxes on the page. They use the numbers 1-9.

Help mathematicians estimate how many seeds are in a given vegetable or fruit. They are divided into pairs and estimate the amount of seeds in a whole fruit without seeing the inside. They then cut the fruit or vegetable in half and...

Fill those extra ten minutes of math time with this fun counting activity. Given a short sequence of numbers, young mathematicians stand in a circle and count one-by-one until the last number is reached, at which point the whole group...

Budding mathematicians use sets of concrete materials to represent, count, and match quantities to 10 or more given in verbal or written form while participating in hands-on activities. This lesson uses the book 1, 2, 3 To The Zoo.

Establish 1:1 correspondence by counting students, first one gender, then the other. Give each child a colored cube (one color for boys, another for girls) and have small groups determine more or less and how many all together. As a...

Students sort gummy bears, count gummy bears, and evaluate and record their favorite colors of gummy bears.
