About this worksheet
Counting out a number of things is different from counting a group that is already there. To color three pictures out of five, a child has to say the numbers, color one picture for each number word and then stop. Stopping is the hard part: many children keep going to the end of the row. Each row on this page has the same picture repeated and a number to color.
Say the number words together as the crayon moves, and ask how many are colored at the end. The first sheets use rows of five; the last use rows of ten. If a child colors too many, count the colored pictures together and talk about which ones to leave white.
What your child will learn
- Count out a number of pictures
- Stop counting at the number asked for
- Match one number word to one picture
- Color neatly inside an outline
Head Start ELOF standard: P-MATH 3, K.CC.B.5
Worked example
The row has five stars and the page says to color 3. Say one, color a star; two, color a star; three, color a star. Stop. The last two stars stay white.
Common mistake
Coloring the whole row, or counting a picture twice, so the last number said is not the number asked for.
Helpful hint
Say one number for each picture you color, and stop at the number.
