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.

Pick a level

1 to 10 and 1 to 20. K1 and K2.

K1–K2Saying numbers in order is part of the NEL Framework’s counting goals, which expect counting to at least 20.

Primary 1–2Counting by 2s, 5s and 10s links to number patterns in P1 and the first multiplication tables in P2.

Dot to dot is not a syllabus topic, but it is a gentle way to practise number order, which children need before they count on in addition. The 1 to 50 pages stretch counting beyond the preschool range and suit K2 children heading into Primary 1, where numbers go up to 100.

Ask children to say each number before they draw to it. Saying, seeing and joining the numbers together is the same habit preschool teachers build with number songs and rhymes.
