Counting is more than saying numbers
Children can often recite numbers long before they can count objects. Counting a scattered group asks them to match one number to one picture, keep track of what they have counted, and know that the last number says how many. These sheets practice all three.
How to use them
Start with counts to 5 and circling the number, then counts to 10, then writing. Counts to 20 suit kindergarten and first grade, when children start to count larger groups.
