Standards for Number Sense
These activities support early math standards connected to recognizing numerals and matching numbers to quantities.
Common Core State Standards
- CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.CC.B.4: Understand the relationship between numbers and quantities; connect counting to cardinality. Kids count each picture to see if it matches the number.
- CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.CC.A.3: Write numbers from 0 to 20. Represent a number of objects with a written numeral 0-20. Kids match each set to its numeral.
Texas Prekindergarten Guidelines
- PK4.V.A.5: Child recognizes numerals 0-10. Kids name the number on each page.
- PK4.V.A.2: Child counts up to 10 objects with one-to-one correspondence. Kids touch and count the objects in each picture.
Virginia Mathematics Standards of Learning
- K.NS.2.a: Read, write and identify the numerals 0 through 30. Kids identify the number on each page.
- K.NS.1.a: Use one-to-one correspondence to determine how many are in a given set. Kids count each set one object at a time.
Digital and Printable Number Identification Back to School gives preschool and kindergarten kids practice recognizing numbers 1-10 and matching them to pictures.
Each page shows one number in the middle with a ring of pictures around it. Kids find the pictures that show that number and mark each one with a thumbs up or thumbs down.
The pictures show each number in different ways, so kids practice counting objects, reading numerals and spotting ten frames.
How to Use Digital and Printable Number Identification Back to School
- Pick the Google Slides version, the Seesaw version or the printable pages.
- Kids name the number on the page.
- Kids count or read each picture.
- Kids drag a thumbs up to the pictures that match and a thumbs down to the ones that do not.
Small Group: Count each picture together.
Math Center: Print the pages and have kids cover the matching pictures with counters.
Easy Ways to Differentiate These Number Pages
Every group has a mix of counting and number skills. These simple changes keep the activity familiar while meeting each child where they are.
For Children Who Need More Support:
- Start with numbers 1-5.
- Count each picture together.
- Use counters to build the number first.
- Point to one picture at a time.
For On-Level Practice:
- Find every matching picture.
- Name each number.
- Tell why a picture does not match.
- Work through 1-10 in order.
For an Extra Challenge:
- Mix up the order of the pages.
- Write the number for each picture.
- Draw another way to show the number.
- Find the number in the classroom.
For Speech, OT, ELL or Special Education Support:
- Read each slide together and give plenty of wait time.
- Accept pointing, gestures, AAC or any communication method the child already uses.
- Dragging pieces builds mouse and touch screen skills.
- Use real objects to count along.
Digital and Printable Number Identification Back to School Is Perfect For:
