STEP-BY-STEP SOLVED EXAMPLES
Example 1: Counting Red Balloons
Look at the very first box containing red balloons. In the top row, there are 7 balloons. In the bottom row, there is 1 balloon. To find the total, count them all together in sequence: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Write the number 8 in the square box to the right.
Example 2: Counting Yellow Stars
Examine the section with yellow stars. There are two rows of stars shown. The first row contains 6 stars, and the second row also contains 6 stars. By counting sequentially from the first star to the last, you will reach the number 12. Write the number 12 in the provided box.
Example 3: Counting the Cupcake
Locate the box containing the cupcake icon. Looking at the image, there is only a single cupcake present. Since there is only one item to count, the total is 1. Carefully write the numeral 1 in the empty square box next to it.
TEACHER & PARENT TIPS
To prevent double-counting or skipping items, teach children to make a small "tick" mark with their pencil or use their finger to touch each object as they say the number out loud. This physical connection reinforces the relationship between the object and the number name. For students who finish quickly, challenge them by asking which group has the most objects or which group has the least. This worksheet is perfect for morning work, homework, or as a quick assessment tool for counting proficiency.
