Skills Students Practice with These Number Recognition Activities
Preschoolers need more than just recognizing a numeral on a page. Strong early math instruction gives them chances to see numbers, count objects, write numerals, and connect all of those pieces together.
- Number recognition for numerals 1–20
- Counting skills and one-to-one correspondence
- Counting to 20 using visual supports
- Ten frame practice for quantity and number sense
- Number word recognition and number vocabulary
- Handwriting and numeral formation during tracing and writing tasks
- Fine motor skills through manipulating pieces, cards, and tools
- Visual discrimination while identifying numbers and matching representations
All of that practice helps build the strong foundation kids need before moving into more advanced math.

How to Use the Bubblegum Counting Activities
Getting started is simple, and you can easily adjust the activities for centers, small groups, or one-on-one support.
Step 1: Print the activities you want to use and prep them for your classroom. You can place them in math tubs, use them with mini erasers, or add them to independent work bins.
Step 2: Introduce one activity at a time so students understand the expectations. Model how to count carefully, match quantities to numerals, and complete each task correctly.
Step 3: Rotate the activities through your math centers, small groups, or review time so students keep practicing number recognition and counting skills in fresh ways throughout the week.
A little variety goes a long way... especially when you’re teaching numbers to wiggly little humans with very big opinions.
