Counting the Groups of Items 1-9

Young mathematicians are on their feet and moving around in this primary grade sorting activity. After giving each child an object or picture card, they then sort themselves into groups, counting to see which has the most or least...

Working with numbers 1-10, beginning counters complete five exercises to help them hone their skills. They examine two sets of sports balls, circling the ones at various number positions. Next, they count a set of ladybugs, recording the...

Capture the engagement of young mathematicians with this hands-on sorting activity. Given a bag of objects, students work independently sorting the items based on their physical attributes, counting to determine the size of each group....

Class members drill and practice counting skills from 1 to 20. They count along with a puppet and when the puppet makes a mistake, they correct it. In pairs, they connect cubes to make a train and count the number used. On the last of...

Practice counting in patterns and skip counting by 1, 5, and 10. Once the patterns have been taught, teams of 5 or 6 learners -- holding hands in circles -- skip count each time they collectively bounce a balloon up into the air. Early...

Class members predict and count how many items need to be cleaned up in class while skip counting by 10s. They estimate whether having each child clean up 10 items will be enough to get the room ready for the next day. Everyone counts...

What an easy way to practice counting and comparing numbers! Learners examine four sets of drawings, each with two types of objects pictured. They count each object, writing the number below. Then, they color in the item with fewer...

This worksheet has learners solve five problems in which groups of 10 pictured items are circled and the rest counted. Pupils write the number (under 20). What distinguishes this work from other counting worksheets is that the objects...

In this counting activity, students will solve ten problems where they count the number of items pictured. Students will identify the correct number by circling the correct answer. Then students will write the correct answer.

Use the book, The Gummy Candy Counting Book, to practice counting up to ten objects in a group. This lesson nicely-combines language arts and math in a way that should lead to effective teaching.
