Count by Ones with Dot-to-Dot Worksheets
Dot-to-dot puzzles are a fantastic teaching tool for early learners. As students connect the dots in numerical order, they naturally practise counting by ones, reinforcing their understanding of number sequence. These puzzles offer a hands-on approach to learning, making maths more approachable and enjoyable.
This set of 3 dot-to-dot puzzles has been created by our dedicated teacher team to help your students practise counting by ones. To help you differentiate for the varying ability levels of your students, three versions have been provided:
- Toucan (Students count from 1-25)
- Honey Bear (Students count from 1-33)
- Dinosaur (Students count from 1-38)
This resource downloads as a black-and-white PDF. It also includes an answer key.
