A simple way through counting
A child who can recite "one, two, three" is not yet counting. Real counting means touching each object exactly once while saying exactly one number — and then knowing that the last number said is how many there are. Those two ideas, one-to-one correspondence and cardinality, are what the first sheets here practice, using pictures a child can point at.
Why this order works
Once counting objects is secure, the number sequence becomes something a child can work inside rather than only recite. Filling the number before, after, or between a pair means holding a position in the sequence and moving one step from it, which is harder than counting from one and is exactly the skill that later turns into mental addition.
