Description

Touch and Count Number Cards 0–20 is a hands-on counting resource for preschool, Pre-K, kindergarten and 1st grade. Each numeral carries counting dots placed right on the number, and children touch every dot as they count aloud. It is a simple, multisensory way to build one-to-one correspondence and numeral recognition together.

The large touch and count cards cover numbers 0 to 20. Teen number cards add ten frames and number words, which helps young learners see a teen number as ten and some more. Matching cards for numbers, dot patterns and words turn the set into sorting and memory activities.

Five math games give the same counting practice a playful shape, with independent and partner options such as roll-and-count and matching. Eleven worksheets follow up with touch-and-count tracing, missing numbers, number words, comparing quantities and ten frames.

A teacher guide and 4-week study plan lay out how to introduce the numbers and build toward 20. A student number checklist tracks which numbers each child knows, a certificate celebrates progress, and an answer key is included. Pages can be used with crayons and pencils or slipped into dry-erase sleeves and laminated.

The 29-page PDF works with whole-class lessons as well as hands-on practice, and it suits math centers, small groups, counting and cardinality lessons, special education, intervention, homeschool, morning work and early finishers.
