An adult can read each question. Use large safe counters. Answer aloud, point, draw, write or type. Online answers are not saved or submitted. Save the PDF in a compatible PDF reader or print it to keep work. Do not enter private identifying information.

Lesson 1: Count Objects One at a Time

Use large safe counters, such as blocks, with an adult. Move each one as you count. A grown-up reads the question; the child may answer aloud, point, draw or write.

1. Count out 2 blocks. How many blocks are there?

2. Count out 4 blocks. How many blocks are there?

3. Count out 5 blocks. How many blocks are there?

4. Count out 3 blocks. Move them to a new arrangement and count again. How many?

5. Count 6 blocks. What is the last number you say?

6. Why touch or move each block as you count?

Advanced extension: Count 10 blocks arranged in a circle. Rearrange them and count again.

Lesson 2: Numbers Zero Through Five

Make each group with large counters. Tell or write how many. For a drawing question, draw in the box or on paper. An adult can scribe an answer when needed.

1. An empty box has no blocks. How many?

2. Make a group of 1. Write or say its number.

3. Make a group of 3. Write or say its number.

4. Make a group of 5. Write or say its number.

5. Draw 4 circles. How many circles did you draw?

6. Put 2 blocks on a plate. Take both away. How many remain?

Advanced extension: Show the number 5 in two different arrangements. Count each arrangement.

Lesson 3: Numbers Six Through Ten

Use up to 10 large counters. Make each group and count it. Show 7 as 5 blocks and 2 more. This is one way to arrange the set.

1. Make a group of 6. How many?

2. Make a group of 7. How many?

3. Make a group of 8. How many?

4. Make a group of 9. How many?

5. Make a group of 10. How many?

6. Show 5 blocks and 2 more. How many blocks altogether?

Advanced extension: Show 10 as 5 and 5, then as 6 and 4. Count to check.

Lesson 4: Numbers and Counting to Twenty

An adult may write the numeral and read the question. Use 20 large counters or draw marks. Organize 10 and some more to help count.

1. Say the next number: 10, 11, __.

2. Say the next number: 13, 14, __.

3. Say the next number: 18, 19, __.

4. Show 10 blocks and 1 more. How many?

5. Show 10 blocks and 4 more. How many?

6. Show 10 blocks and 7 more. How many?

Advanced extension: Show 19 as 10 and some more. What is one more?

Lesson 5: Compare Groups and Count Back

Build the two groups with large counters. Match the objects one-to-one. To count back, remove one block each time you say the next number.

1. Which group has more: 3 blocks or 5 blocks?

2. Which group has fewer: 2 blocks or 4 blocks?

3. Compare 3 blocks and 3 blocks.

4. Count back: 5, 4, 3, __, 1, 0.

5. Count back: 3, 2, __, 0.

6. What does zero mean in a group?

Advanced extension: Compare 8 and 10 using matched objects. How many more does the larger group have?

Independent Chapter Check

Teacher: Read each item aloud. Use large counters. Let the child answer independently by speaking, pointing, drawing or writing. Note whether each object is counted exactly once.

1. Make a group of 4 blocks. How many?

2. Show an empty group. What number names it?

3. Make a group of 8 blocks. How many?

4. Say the next number: 7, 8, __.

5. Show 10 blocks and 3 more. How many?

6. Which is more: a group of 2 or a group of 5?

7. Count backward: 3, 2, 1, __.

8. Count 5 blocks, move them into a new arrangement, and count again. How many?
