Match the number to the picture — Nursery and KG maths

A number is a name for “how many”. In this lesson your child counts a group and taps the number that matches it — or hears a number and finds the group that has that many. This joins the counting words to the written numbers 1 to 5.

How to teach it

Count, then match — “count the pictures first, then find the number that says the same”

  1. Count the pictures in the group: 1, 2, 3, 4.
  2. The last number is the answer: 4.
  3. Find the written number 4, or the group with 4 pictures.

Use it for: Reading numbers on lifts, buses and house doors, and showing a number with toys or fingers.

Worked example: Which group has 4 balloons? → 🎈🎈🎈🎈

  1. Count each group with your finger. We need 4 balloons.
  2. This group has 4: 1, 2, 3, 4.

Check: 1, 2, 3, 4 — the group with 4 balloons ✓

✏️ Practice
