Monster Counting Posters

Here’s a ‘friendly’ way to count on Monster.

This clean, simple, number resource is designed to enable young children to develop their understanding of number recognition and counting.

It can be used as a display poster, desktop counting resource or a direct counting activity.

This simple visual number line from mathsticks.com offers a wealth of
maths activities and/or assessment opportunities.

• Combine the three pages to make one tall poster showing numbers from zero to 10.
• Cut each page into horizontal strips so children can sort or count the monster-lines.
• Children can match a quantity of counters to a monster-line.
• Cut away the digit labels and have the children put the monster-lines in order.
• Cut away the digit labels and ask the children to re-label the monster-lines.

The monster-lines have been designed with a visual break after the fifth one. This makes number combinations easy to recognise: 6 is 5 and 1; 7 is 5 and 2; 8 is 5 and 3; etc
