Which numbers can the dots use?

1 to 10, 1 to 20, 1 to 30 or 1 to 50, counting by 2s to 50, by 5s to 100, by 10s to 150, or the alphabet from A to Z.

Where do children start?

At the green dot, at the top of the picture. The numbers go round clockwise, and every number sits just outside its dot.

Is there an answer key?

Yes. The answer key shows the finished outline in red, with the colour picture it was drawn from.

Which pictures are there?

An apple, a pear, a heart, a star, a moon, a house, a fish, a duck, two dinosaurs, a butterfly, a mushroom, an umbrella, a pumpkin and a ghost.

Counting with a picture at the end

Dot to dot practices number order: children have to find what comes next, again and again, and the picture only appears if they get it right. Skip counting by 2s, 5s and 10s and the A to Z pages use the same idea for times tables and the alphabet.

Dot to dot is a puzzle, not a MATATAG competency, but it rehearses number order. The 1-to-50 and skip-counting pictures fit the Grade 1 counting work; counting by 10s past 100 goes beyond it.

The A to Z pictures follow the English alphabet. The Filipino alphabet has 28 letters, with Ñ after N and NG after Ñ, so point out the difference if your class learns the Alpabetong Filipino.
