Counting Flashcards 1-20 | Number Cards for Math Centers | 49 Card Pages Set

Counting flashcards 1-20 for math centers

These counting flashcards 1-20 are a packet of 49 card pages, with four big number cards on each page and 196 cards in all. Every card shows one number up to 20 in thick, rounded digits, with small stars, dots, flowers and swirls around it.

The set is made for preschool and kindergarten teachers who set up counting and number recognition centers, and for parents who want a simple card set for home. The digits come in bright colors, and the same numbers return on many pages in new styles.

Teachers who need preschool counting cards for a center can print the pages for one week at a time. The pages also work as flashcards for counting practice at home, since each card has only one digit and a few decorations. Because the cards carry no counting pictures, children use real objects from the room, which keeps the practice hands-on.

What’s on the pages

Each page has a heading that reads Number Flashcards in a different color, and some pages add the words For Kids Learning or Kids Learning at the bottom. Four cards sit in two rows on every page. Some cards have a colored border, some a dashed border and some none at all.

• Single digits: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9.
• Teen numbers: 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19.
• Round numbers: 10 and 20.
• Number words: one page prints the word under each digit, such as five, thirteen, eight and seventeen.

The digit is the biggest thing on each card, and the decorations stay near the edges. There are no counting pictures, only the digit, so you can add blocks, counters or buttons from your own shelf.

What’s in the download

The counting flashcards 1-20 pdf has 51 pages in total.

How to use counting flashcards 1-20

Print the pages you want and cut the cards apart along their edges. Hold up one card and ask the child to say the number, then ask them to count out that many objects.

A few ways to use the cards:

• Lay out four cards and ask the child to touch the number you call out.
• Put a card in each bin or tray and let children fill it with that many blocks or counters.
• Put the cards in order from 1 to 20 on a pocket chart.
• Play a memory game with two printed copies of the same page.
• Use a single page as a quick warm-up at the start of math time.

Counting flashcards 1-20 work best in short rounds. Start with a few numbers up to 10, add the teens one or two at a time, and bring older cards back for review. A parent can pull a single page out in the car or at the table for two minutes of practice before dinner or a car ride.

Take a look at the preview pages before you buy, so you can see the card styles and the sizes of the numbers.
