What this worksheet practices
K.CC.A.1 · Common Core Math · Kindergarten
Counting & Cardinality
Children work on knowing the number names and the counting sequence, counting to tell how many objects there are, and comparing numbers.
How to use this worksheet
- 1
Do "Make 10" before any addition sheet, not after. Number bonds to ten are what make first-grade addition fast, and children who learn them late end up counting on fingers for another year.
- 2
For "Adding with Pictures", cover the answer box and ask your child to say the whole sentence out loud — "three and two make five". Saying it is what moves it into memory.
- 3
Print "Counting by Tens" twice. It is the one sheet on this list worth repeating, because skip counting is the foundation of place value in 1st grade.
- 4
Let them use physical objects. Buttons or pasta next to the sheet is not cheating at this age; the picture on the page is a stand-in for objects, and the objects work better.
