Learning to Count in Kindergarten

 

Our clip it kids help make math in kindergarten fun and hands-on! Your learners will:

• identify numerals to 20
• count a collection of objects to match a numeral
• build fine motor skills using the pincer grasp 
• develop 1:1 correspondence as they count and match a peg to each word they say
• begin to notice part/part/whole relationships as they attach each peg

Students will clip each card with an appropriate quantity of paper clips or clothespins (pegs) to match the numeral.

To get this center ready, simply:

• print the cards
• laminate and cut
• team with clips, clothespins or pegs
• have fun counting!

This printable file is available in our TPT store and features:

• a teaching tips page
• a detailed instruction sheet
• game cards for number 1 to 20
• a recording worksheet and
• cover page. 

The cover page can be printed and used to help organize your game/activity tubs/pouches/packets or folders.

So many teachers using this activity have told us that their students:

• are instantly engaged with this activity
• have fun and smile during math
• work on their fine motor
• develop essential early math concepts
• enjoy math centers
