1–20 Dump Truck Number Cards
A set of number cards to use when practicing one-to-one correspondence from 1–20.
Use this resource in the classroom when learning how to identify, count, and sequence numbers from 1 to 20.
Print out the cards on cardstock and cut out each number card to create a complete set. Then, store in a resealable bag and use it as a math center activity.
Provide students with a set of dump truck number cards and a pile of blocks. Ask the students to place the blocks into the back of each dump truck so that the number of blocks matches the number written on the side of the dump truck.
As an extension, encourage the students to sequence their dump trucks from 1 to 20.
Alternatively, use the dump truck number cards to create a 1 to 20 number line display in your classroom.
