Learning About Numbers 1 to 20:

COUNTING with preschoolers

COUNTING IS A CRUCIAL PREREQUISITE SKILL IN MATH. STUDENTS MUST BE ABLE TO COUNT FLUENTLY TO BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND MORE COMPLEX CONCEPTS.

When paired with lots of oral counting, preschool number worksheets help students form concrete understandings about numbers, digits, and quantities.

I always begin the year by thinking of the transition times where I want to incorporate counting. Maybe before or after a Math lesson, while lining up, before or after serving snacks, etc.

When I am consistent with the routine, the students make sure it’s not forgotten! We may begin by counting 1-5, then 1-10, and so on. The beauty of oral counting is that you can build on it all year long.

Each printable number tracing worksheet provides FIVE opportunities for children to learn and understand each digit. Your students can:

Identify/name the number
Trace it on handwriting lines
Find the number in a grid mixed with other numbers
Count (and color) a group of objects related to the number
Make the number on a blank ten frame

What Do Free Number Tracing Worksheets Teach?

DEVELOP NUMBER SENSE WITH EARLY CHILDHOOD LEARNERS

WORKING WITH EACH NUMBER IN MULTIPLE WAYS HELPS STUDENTS DEVELOP CONCRETE UNDERSTANDINGS ABOUT NUMBERS (NUMBER SENSE).

These Fall number writing worksheets are so versatile! You can adapt the preschool/kindergarten worksheets to suit all of your students’ skill levels. Keep these questions in mind:

Is your number greater/less than ten?
How many more ten frame squares do you need to fill to make ten?
Can you make the same number on the ten frame in a different way?
Does this numeral look similar to/different than other numerals?

How Can I Help Preschoolers Develop Number Sense?

Preschoolers thrive with hands-on math activities that engage all of their senses. You can help them develop great number sense by incorporating some of these activities:

Compare Numbers

Take opportunities to talk about which number is bigger/smaller. Use math terms like greater than/less than, or more/less. You can even do it at snack time!

Number Line

Refer to number lines often. Practice oral counting while pointing to each number, or search and find specific numbers on the number line. Dot-to-dots are essentially number lines that create a picture!

Subitize

Subitizing is the ability to look at a set of objects (often dots) and determining the number in the set without counting. Children develop this skill by rolling dice or looking at dot cards.

Use Manipulatives

Use a variety of manipulatives as much as possible. Children can place counters on a ten frame, count groups of plastic bears/frogs/etc., or they can use playdough to form the shapes of the numerals.

Count Orally

Give your students lots of opportunities to gain counting fluency by…counting! Count forwards, backward, and skip count as often as possible.
