Circle Counting and Drawing Worksheet

The Circle Counting and Drawing Worksheet gives preschool children a simple way to practice counting and number sense. Children count one group of circles first, then draw two requested groups of circles, with no drawing larger than ten circles.

At age three, counting can feel bumpy. Many children skip a number, count the same circle twice, or lose track when drawing and counting happen together, so a short circle activity gives children practice without a long sit-down lesson.

A parent or teacher can sit beside the child and point to each circle while counting out loud. After the first group is counted, the child can draw the next two circle groups, then touch each new circle to check the total.

The Circle Counting and Drawing Worksheet is useful because the page asks for both looking and making. A child is not just circling an answer. A child counts a set, draws new sets, and sees how a number can become a real group of marks on paper.
