Building Math Skills

There are many fun ways to build basic math skills with young children. Manipulating real life objects is a great place to start.

Sorting and classification activities pair well with these sheets. As kids move around and group objects they are learning foundational skills.

Of course, hands-on manipulatives are not 100% required. With these sheets your child will practice number concepts including:

  • number sense

  • writing numbers

  • number recognition

  • counting in the correct order

  • stating number of objects in a group

These printables are great to use as preschool number worksheets, kindergarten worksheets, or even for 1st grade.

As a mom I like to go over the counting together. Then give my child the freedom to try the tracing and coloring independently.

Every child is different and has their own set of strengths. You know your child best. Modify the lesson that goes along with these printables to fit their needs.

Free Counting Worksheets

The great thing about these free counting worksheets is each page features only one number.

Your kids can count the number of insects shown in the group. Then they can color in the large number on the page to enforce number sense.

Then, they can use their favorite art supply to color in the pictures of the insects. Think of these free number worksheeets as count, color, and write pages.

Below the image are lines for your kids to practice writing the number in numerical and word form.

As a guide, traceable numbers and number words are provided to get your child started.

Tracing numbers is a fun way for preschool and kindergarten kids to practice handwriting skills.

Fine Motor Skills

Through all of that coloring, counting, and writing your child is practicing fine motor skills. Encourage them to point to the different insects as they count each one.

You can even use a few hands-on manipulatives including glass stones or handmade painted rocks along with these sheets.

Many young learners enjoy moving objects around when learning how to count.

Plastic insects, including butterflies can also be used. I had a hard time finding a kit that had the same number of bugs that matched the number on each sheet.

Of course, your child can also point and count the number of objects found on each sheet without using additional manipluatives.
