Standards for Number Recognition and Counting

These Farm Animal posters support early math standards connected to recognizing numerals, counting objects and connecting numbers to amounts.

Common Core State Standards: Mathematics

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.CC.A.3: Write numbers from 0 to 20. Represent a number of objects with a written numeral 0-20. Each poster shows a numeral with that many pictures.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.CC.B.4: Understand the relationship between numbers and quantities. Kids connect each number to a set of pictures.

Texas Prekindergarten Guidelines and TEKS for Mathematics

PK4.V.A.5: Child recognizes numerals 0-10. Kids name the number on each poster and card.
PK4.V.A.2: Children count up to 10 objects with one-to-one correspondence. Kids count the pictures on each poster.

Virginia Mathematics Standards of Learning

K.NS.2.a: Read, write and identify the numerals 0 through 30. Kids identify each numeral on the posters and cards.
K.NS.1.a: Use one-to-one correspondence to find how many are in a set. Kids count the pictures on each poster.

Farm Animal Number Posters help preschool and kindergarten kids recognize numbers 1-10 and connect each number to an amount and number word in English and Spanish.

Brighten your math wall with farm animal counting posters kids will want to count again and again.

Each full-page poster shows a number with farm animals to count. The half-page cards pair each number with its number word and the Spanish cards add a second language for dual-language classrooms.

Hang the posters on a number line or math wall for a daily reference. Use the half-page cards in pocket charts, for number of the day or for matching games.

Laminate the cards and keep them in a pocket chart or binder ring for quick number practice.

How to Use Farm Animal Number Posters

Hang the posters in order on a wall or bulletin board.
Point to a poster and say the number together.
Count the farm animals on the poster to check the amount.
Use the half-page cards to match numbers and number words.

Small Group: Hand each child a half-page card. Kids say the number, count the pictures and line up the cards in order.

Independent Practice: Place the half-page cards in a math center. Kids put the cards in order or match them to the posters.

Easy Ways to Differentiate These Number Posters

Every group of kids has a mix of counting, number recognition and fine motor skills. These simple changes keep the activity familiar while meeting each child where they are.

For Children Who Need More Support:

Start with the posters for 1-5.
Count the pictures together while touching each one.
Point to the poster that matches a set of objects.
Review a few posters each day.

For On-Level Practice:

Put the cards in order.
Read the number word on each card.
Match the cards to the posters.
Find a number on the wall when called.

For an Extra Challenge:

Put mixed-up cards in order from smallest to largest.
Name one more and one less than a poster number.
Read the number words without the pictures.Match the English and Spanish number words.
Build the poster amount with counters.

For Speech, OT, ELL or Special Education Support:

Model the number word and give plenty of wait time.
Accept pointing, gestures, AAC or any communication method the child already uses.
Use tongs or tweezers to place counters for added fine motor practice.
Repeat the same small set of numbers across several sessions.
Say the number words in English and Spanish.
