About this worksheet
Sorting and counting go together: before children can say how many of each kind there are, they have to see which pictures are alike. On this page one row of mixed pictures sits at the top, such as apples, stars and fish all jumbled together. Below it, the child counts one kind at a time and writes the number in a box. Counting only the stars means leaving the apples and fish alone, which is harder than it sounds, so a good way is to touch each star once, or to put a small dot on each one as it is counted.
Support sheets have fewer pictures, and challenge sheets have ten. The numbers for the three kinds are always different, so the child cannot copy one answer to the next. After the page, sort a handful of buttons or socks at home and count each pile.
What your child will learn
- Sort a mixed group by kind
- Count how many in each group
- Write the number for each group
- Count one kind and leave the others alone
Common Core standard: K.MD.B.3
Worked example
The row has 4 apples, 3 stars and 2 fish mixed together. Touch only the stars: 1, 2, 3. Write 3 in the box for stars.
Common mistake
Counting every picture in the row instead of only the kind that was asked about.
Helpful hint
Touch only the kind you are counting, and say a number for each one.
