About this activity

What your child practises

Skills: Counting in steps (2s, 5s, 10s).

Understanding how numbers are built and how they relate to each other – the base for confident mental maths.

What’s included

  • 8 questions
  • An answer key you can print with the sheet or on its own
  • An on-screen version with instant marking and stars

Age and school year

Made for ages 5–9. That’s Kindergarten – Grade 4 in the US, Year 1–5 in England, Nursery 2 – Primary 4 in Nigeria and UKG – Class 4 in India.

How to use it

  • Print it at home or school – it fits a standard A4 or US Letter page.
  • Print the answer key too, so marking takes seconds.
  • Play it on screen: answers are marked instantly and children earn stars.
  • Write on it on a tablet or touchscreen with a finger or stylus – no printer needed.

Tips for parents and teachers

  1. Keep counters or dried beans next to the sheet so your child can build and check each answer.
  2. Count real things first – spoons, socks, toy cars – then move to the pictures, so numbers stay meaningful.
  3. Let your child mark their own work with the answer key, then talk through any mistakes together.
