About this sheet
What is on the page, and how to get the most out of it.
Seven rows of fruit, each with a box at the end to write the number in. Strawberries, bananas, oranges, apples, watermelon, grapes and avocados, with a different quantity in every row.
Start here if your child has not done a counting worksheet before. Fruit is the category young children know best, so nothing on the page needs explaining, and all their attention goes on the counting itself rather than on working out what they are looking at.
The useful thing to watch is whether your child touches each item as they count. Pointing and touching is not a crutch, it is the actual mechanism that keeps count and object matched one to one. Children who count by looking alone usually lose track past four. If yours is not touching, put their finger on the first item and start them off.
The rows go up to seven, which is past the point where most children stop being able to see a quantity at a glance and have to count properly. That is deliberate.
What your child practises
Fruit is the most familiar category, so the effort goes into counting rather than recognising. Here is what that practises.
- One to one counting with touch
- Writing numerals inside a box
- Counting past five reliably
- Fruit names in Hindi and English
Common questions
Which counting worksheet should we start with?
This one. Fruit is the category children recognise fastest, so none of their attention is spent working out what the pictures are.
My child counts the same item twice. How do I fix that?
Have them touch each item as they say the number. Losing track usually means they are counting by eye alone, and touching keeps the number and the object matched.
Does my child need to write the numbers themselves?
Not at first. Plenty of three year olds can count a row correctly but cannot yet form the numeral. Let them say the answer and you write it, then swap once writing is comfortable.
