About this worksheet
A row of stars, hearts or circles, and a box for the number. This is the first written maths a child does. Start with counting up to 5 and move to 10 when the child counts without skipping.
Tips for parents and teachers
- Let the child touch or tick each shape while counting. One touch, one number.
- Counting real things comes first: steps, spoons, biscuits. The sheet is for after that.
- Do not worry about the neatness of written numbers at this age. Number tracing is on the tracing sheet.
