What should my child do on this page?

They fill the blank spots in each counting row and write the missing number in each simple addition or subtraction sentence.

How can I tell if my child is ready?

A good starting point is being able to count forward to 10 and name a few numbers before and after a given number, with help if needed.

How should I help if a blank number is hard?

Point to the number just before the blank, count forward together, and let them say the next number before writing it.

Why are addition and subtraction mixed with counting rows?

The mix helps children connect number order with how small numbers go together and come apart.

Can we use counters with this page?

Small objects are helpful; have your child build the fact, move pieces away for subtraction, then write the number.

Should my child finish it in one sitting?

It is fine to stop after one or two rows and come back later, especially if the thinking starts to feel rushed.

English Counting & Number Sense Kindergarten Readiness 6 years old

Kids often stall when the counting pattern is almost there, especially when a blank sits in the middle. This printable asks a kindergartner to fill missing numbers in four short counting sequences, then complete a missing number in a simple addition or subtraction sentence. The numbers stay small, from 2 through 10, so the work stays focused on counting order and number sense.

It fits a 6-year-old who can count forward with some help and is starting to see that addition puts numbers together while subtraction takes part of a number away. Sit nearby and have them read each row aloud, such as 6, 7, blank, 9, blank. If they get stuck, point to the number before the blank and ask what comes next.

The sequence side gives practice using nearby numbers as clues. The number sentence side connects that counting to missing parts, such as finding one addend or the answer in a subtraction fact. If object counting would help first, try the animal counting and circle totals worksheet to count groups and mark totals before coming back to written numerals.

Keep it short and hands-on. Use fingers, pennies, or small blocks to act out 4 and 2 making 6, or 7 taking away 4 leaving 3. When this page feels comfortable, use the Find the Missing Numbers Worksheet as another round of number-order practice without changing the routine.
