Counting worksheets — count the pictures and write the number

Counting a group of objects and writing the number links the three faces of a number: the quantity, the spoken word and the written digit. These sheets show colourful pictures arranged in rows of five, the same layout as a ten frame, so children can start to see “five and three more” instead of counting one by one. Three levels lead from 1–5 for the youngest to 11–20.

🔢 Best for ages 3–6

How to get the most from these sheets

• Ask your child to touch each picture with a pencil while counting aloud.
• After writing, ask “How many?” — the answer is the last number said.
• At 11–20, point out the full rows: “a row of five, another five, that makes ten…”.
• Let little ones colour the pictures they have counted.
