Counting up to 10 objects - Chicks!

What’s included?

This download includes x3 resources (to be used together) as x4 A4, landscape pdf sheets to practise counting objects to 10 and labelling each group with the correct numeral. This activity set has been designed to use with miniature ‘Easter chicks’ as pictured on the cover image.

What's it for?

This resource has been designed to make good use of those lovely little chicks that are generally everywhere at Easter time! This activity set encourages learners to count up to 10 objects (chicks!) and label each group (brood!) with the correct numeral (from 1 - 10). Grass 'egg holders' are included to display the egg number labels once learners have counted each group of chicks (from 1 to 10).

Who’s it for?

This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support.

How to use this resource

This has been designed for an adult to pre-cut all items so that this activity set can be presented to learners to investigate and explore independently as a 'table top' activity.

There is a sheet featuring ‘numbered eggs’ to be cut out and used to ‘label’ the groups of chicks once they have been counted out. Grass ‘egg holders’ to ‘hold’ each numbered egg are also included.

There are two pages featuring groups containing different amounts of eggs (between 0 and 10). Learners are to count out the corresponding number of Easter chicks onto each of these cards - placing one chick on one egg, practising using 1:1 correspondence.

Resource Details

These sheets are all intended to be printed onto card to improve durability.

• Resource 1 (x1 page) Includes x11 numbered eggs (0-10) dotted lines guide where to cut.

• Resource 2 (across x2 pages) Includes x11 rectangular boxes (with green outlines), each displaying groups of different numbers of eggs (between 0 and 10). Learners count out the correct number of chicks, placing one on each egg. Once all ‘egg cards’ have been completed learners can ‘label’ these groups with the numbered eggs’ (page 1)

• Resource 3 (x1 page) Includes x10 ‘grass numbered egg holders’ to display the ‘numbered eggs’ in - rather than having all items laid flat on the table top, using these holders enables the numbered eggs to ‘stand up’. Simple instructions for how to assemble these holders are included at the top of this sheet.
