House counting to 10

House Counting 0–10 – Hands-On Maths Activity

A fun, colourful and interactive maths resource designed to develop number recognition, counting skills and one-to-one correspondence through practical learning.

This resource includes 11 colourful houses, individually numbered from 0 to 10. Each house features a different coloured roof and a cosy living room setting.

Children are encouraged to identify the number displayed inside each house and add the corresponding number of people.

Children can use small people counters, miniature figures or playdough people to represent the occupants of each house, making this a versatile and engaging activity.

Learning Objectives:

• Recognise numbers from 0 to 10.
• Count objects accurately using one-to-one correspondence.
• Match quantities to written numerals.
• Develop fine motor skills through handling and placing counters.
• Understand the concept of zero as an empty set.
• Encourage independent learning and problem-solving.

Suitable for: EYFS, KS1, SEN, home education, maths interventions and individual or small-group activities.

How to Use:

Simply print the numbered houses and provide children with small people counters or miniature figures.

Children identify the number displayed inside each house and place the correct number of people inside to match.

For repeated use, laminate the sheets.

This resource provides a fun, practical approach to early counting, allowing children to develop their mathematical understanding through hands-on learning.

Please note: People counters and other manipulatives are not included.
