Count the Animals and Tap the Right Number

How to play

1. Look at the group of animals shown on the screen.
2. Count each animal out loud, one at a time, by pointing with a finger.
3. Tap the number that tells how many animals you counted.
4. Keep going to the next question and try to count every group correctly.

This activity builds one of the most important early maths skills: counting with one-to-one correspondence. Your child learns to match one number word to one object, to understand that the last number said tells the total, and to recognise written numerals from 1 to 10. Tapping an answer also strengthens number recognition and careful looking. At home you can extend the learning by counting real objects together, such as spoons, socks or steps on the stairs. Ask gentle questions like "How do you know?" or "Can you count again to check?" to encourage confidence and accuracy rather than speed.
