Count objects to 10 worksheets
Counting a group of things and writing the number is the very first math a child does. These free printable worksheets show a group of themed pictures and ask one question — how many? — so a preschooler connects a set they can see to the numeral that names it.
If they get stuck

The answer key prints on a separate page.
What's on this sheet
Each problem shows a single group of the mascot's picnic treasure, and the child counts the pictures and writes the total in the box. Because every token is on the page to touch and tally, counting stays concrete, and matching a group of five stars to the numeral 5 connects one-to-one counting to the symbol that names it. Groups stay at ten or fewer so nothing is too crowded to count carefully.
Why this sheet works
This is a first-step sheet, so it stays short — a few groups to count is plenty of focused practice for a young child, and the amounts vary rather than repeating one.
How this one works
One question from a sheet like this one, worked a step at a time — with a sentence saying what just happened and why.
