Skills to Practice

• One-to-One Correspondence

You can use these sheets as part of a math center or as independent practice. Practicing one-to-one correspondence takes time and practice.

Prior to coloring, you can have your child point to each picture as they count each one. This is a great way to practice counting skills.

• Writing Numbers

At the bottom of each worksheet there is a number to color and one to trace. Then within the boxes your kids can practicing writing the correct number three times.

• Number Sense

Each worksheet focuses on only one number. This lets your kids practice counting, saying, tracing, and writing one number at a time. On each sheet kids can count the total number of objects.

• Fine Motor Skills

Not only is coloring fun, but its a great way to practice fine motor skills. As your child colors in each object they are practicing holding a writing utensil and using it properly. They can even strengthen handwriting skills when writing each number on the sheet.

Helpful Tips

A great way to use these number recognition worksheets is to space them out over several days. You can even do one sheet per day.

Of course, the goal is not to color each image perfectly. Coloring small details take a lot of practice and is hard for young learners.

• Kids can even use a stamp or dot marker to mark off each image instead of coloring in each one.

Pair them with additional hands-on sorting and classification activities to get kids practicing these important skills in different ways.
