Counting 1 to 10 Boom Cards

Pin

These Under the Sea themed Boom Cards help kids learn to count up to 10. They’re an awesome addition to Pre-K and Kindergarten math centers.

When I teach kids to count, I keep the 5 Principles of Counting in mind. You can learn more about them by checking out an article such as 5 Counting Principles Every Preschooler Should Know.

I begin by showing the kids how to count a small collection of objects. First, I model how to place the objects in a line. Then I say the number as I touch each object. I teach the kids to move the object aside after they’ve counted it (to avoid counting it twice). Then after I’ve counted all of the objects, I say something like “Ten was the last number I counted so that tells me there are ten altogether”.

With distance learning currently being the new norm, I created some counting Boom Cards to help kids continue to practice their counting skills.
