Kindergarten Counting Worksheets

One-to-one correspondence can be thought of as simply matching objects that are the same or that go together. When learning to count, children need to learn to match one number to one object – the number one to the first object and the number two to the second object, etc. Watching children at this stage of counting is sure to put a smile on your face!

Skills include counting (of course), tracing, cutting and glueing, drawing objects, matching, reading or recognizing number words, and lastly, coloring.
