🔢 COUNTING 1–20 WORKBOOK

For when counting begins to match what’s in front of them.

→ Count • Recognise • Understand

They count.

They see the number.

They match it to how many.

Then they check and count again.

They begin to notice when it matches — and when it doesn’t.

This is where numbers start to connect to what they can see.

• They count out loud and point to objects

• They say numbers in order and begin matching them

• They recognise numbers and want to use them when counting

• You want something they can return to and continue with
