About This Worksheet
Each page has twelve boxes. In every box your child counts the pictures, such as bears, flowers or fish, then circles the correct number from three options beside them. The options sit close together, like 8, 9 and 10, so your child has to count carefully rather than guess.
The pages mix small and larger groups, up to 20. It is a quick way to practise accurate counting and to link a quantity with its numeral.
Skills Your Child Practises
- Counting objects accurately
- Matching a quantity to a numeral
- Choosing between close numbers
- Recognising numbers up to 20
How to Use This Worksheet
