Numbers and Counting

The Fall Math Activities (1st Grade) packet covers counting and numbers from 1 – 10 for children still developing basic counting skills to counting up to 100. The variety of math worksheets ensures that you are able to differentiate the math activities and meet the needs of all students in the 1st grade.

In the Apples Spin and Color a Ten Frame activity, students use a paper clip to spin a number and color the apple with the matching ten frame. The ten frames allow the student to visually see how numbers work together and helps build number sense skills.

Once students are able to count to ten, it is time to introduce them to teen numbers. With the worksheet Ten Frames in the Fall, students use colorful markers or pencils to color a ten frame to match the numeral in the pumpkin beside each ten frame. For teen numbers, the ten frames visually show students how a group of numbers becomes recognisable to allow for faster counting.
