💡 How to Use This Worksheet

This worksheet is designed to be used as a fun and engaging activity to reinforce counting skills in Reception children. It can be used during small group work, as part of a maths station, or as an individual assessment tool. Before starting, ensure children are familiar with number recognition and can count objects up to 5. For children who are struggling, provide concrete manipulatives such as counters or building blocks to aid their counting. Encourage them to physically count each object before writing the number. Common mistakes to watch for include counting objects more than once or skipping numbers. For children who complete the worksheet quickly and accurately, extend the activity by asking them to draw their own groups of objects and write the corresponding number, or to compare the number of objects in different groups using terms like 'more than' and 'less than'.
