English Counting & Number Sense Focus & Attention 5 years old

This counting and number matching worksheet brings four activities onto one page. The first panel has 6 picture groups to connect to a number ladder from 1 to 10. The next panel offers 6 counting questions with three answer choices each. Another 6 groups need matching lines, followed by 6 short number sequences with one missing value apiece.

Start with the first group, which contains 2 pictures. Touch each picture once while counting aloud, then find the numeral that names the total. Encourage the child to say the total again after the last picture. In the multiple-choice panel, count before circling an answer; a nearby numeral may be only one more or one less than the quantity shown.

For the matching section, compare quantities rather than the kind or size of the pictures. Trace a possible connector with a finger before drawing it, leaving space to follow other lines. In the final panel, read the visible numbers in order and count forward by one to fill each blank. Read the completed sequence again to check that no number was skipped or repeated.

Use the number reference library when the child wants another look at a numeral. Related counting and arithmetic pages are available in the Early Math Essentials. Begin with one panel during a short practice session, then return to the others when the child is ready. Counters on separate paper can help connect a printed group with a quantity the child can move.

Frequently asked questions

What does this page practice?

It combines picture counting, matching quantities to numerals, choosing a counted total, and completing consecutive number sequences.

Do the pictures need to match each other?

The matching task is about how many pictures are in a group. Find the numeral for that quantity, regardless of which object is pictured.

How do we fill a missing number?

Read the visible sequence and count forward by one. Write the missing value, then read the full sequence aloud.

How can I help with counting?

Let the child touch each picture once. After counting, ask how many there are altogether and help locate the matching numeral.

Should we finish all four panels together?

One panel is a useful starting point. Continue while the child can count and explain comfortably, or save the remaining sections for another session.
