How to use it
- Choose the first and last number (anything from 0 to 20).
- Leave “Add pictures to count” on to show a row of pictures under each number.
- Check the preview, then press Print. Each page fits a few numbers so nothing is cramped.
Why it helps
Tracing a numeral while counting real objects connects the symbol to the quantity it stands for — a key early math idea. The guide lines and solid model number show where each stroke starts and stops.
Which age is it for? Ages 3–6
Start three- and four-year-olds with 1 to 5 and the counting pictures. Most five-year-olds are ready for 1 to 10, and six- and seven-year-olds can practise the teen numbers up to 20.
Frequently asked questions
Why is the first number solid?
The solid number is a model: children look at it first, then trace the dashed copies. Talk about where the number starts as they trace.
How should my child count the pictures?
Encourage touching each picture once while saying the numbers aloud, then writing the last number said in the box. This builds one-to-one correspondence.
Can I print just one number?
Yes — choose the same number for “From” and “To”.
