Numbers & Quantities: Maths Worksheet

Here is a description for a Maths Worksheet designed to combine number recognition with counting quantity using a fun ‘I Spy’ game format.

Worksheet Title: Count & Spy! Matching Numbers to Quantities
This engaging and interactive worksheet is a fantastic way to reinforce number recognition and the concept of quantity (one-to-one correspondence) for Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) children. It turns essential counting practice into a fun visual scavenger hunt!

Activity Overview:

• The Quantity Match (Top Section)
  Task: Children look at clear, colourful boxes showing groups of objects (e.g., 5 apples, 2 stars, 8 balloons).

Skill: They count the objects in each group and draw a line to match that group to the correct numeral written on the side (e.g., matching the group of 5 apples to the numeral 5).

• The ‘I Spy’ Number Hunt (Bottom Section)
  Task: This section features a large, busy grid or picture filled with many different numerals (e.g., a mix of 1s, 2s, 5s, 8s, etc., in various sizes and fonts).

The Hunt: The worksheet asks children to “I Spy” a requested number (e.g., “I Spy the number 3!”) and circle it every time they find it.

Key Learning Outcomes:
Number Recognition: Quickly identifying numerals (1-10).

Counting/One-to-One Correspondence: Accurately counting groups of objects.

Number-Quantity Association: Understanding that a numeral (e.g., 4) represents a specific collection (four items).

Concentration: Sharpening focus to complete the ‘I Spy’ search and count.
