Count & Represent Objects 1-10 — Answer Key
Part A: Trace the Words
Trace each word carefully by following the dotted lines.
1. count
2. group
3. tally
4. set
5. one
6. ten
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. You have 5 fingers on one hand.
Hold up one hand and count each finger: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. There are 5 fingers on one hand.
2. A triangle has 3 sides.
A triangle is the shape with three straight sides that meet to make three corners, so 3 fits the blank.
3. There are 10 eggs in a carton of ten.
A carton of ten is named for what it holds, so it has 10 eggs inside when it is full.
4. A bicycle has 2 wheels.
A bicycle rolls on a front wheel and a back wheel, so it has 2 wheels in all.
Part C: True or False?
Read each statement. Circle True or False.
1. If you have 4 apples and get 1 more, you have 5 apples.
True False
True. Starting with 4 apples and adding 1 more gives 4, 5 — so you end with 5 apples.
2. The number 7 comes right after the number 9.
True False
False. When you count up, 7 actually comes before 9. The number that comes right after 9 is 10.
3. You can show the number 3 by holding up 3 fingers.
True False
True. Each finger you hold up stands for one, so 3 fingers up shows the number 3.
