Number Ring Activity (1-20)
A number matchup activity to practice numbers 1-20.
Use this teaching resource to reinforce student learning with both one-to-one correspondence and counting and with subitizing.
How to use this resource:
- Print the rings on cardstock and cut them out. Write each number 1–20 on a wooden clothespin.
- Students clip the clothespins to the corresponding number of dots on the number rings.
To practice one-to-one correspondence, provide students with a set of manipulatives such as pom-poms to place one on each circle as they count to determine the total number in each pie piece.
This resource has been split into two wheels – one with the numbers 1–10 and another with the numbers 11–20 to easily differentiate for your students.
This resource is great to use as a math center activity or in your guided math groups.

Common Core Curriculum alignment
- CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.CC.B.4
Understand the relationship between numbers and quantities; connect counting to cardinality.
- CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.CC.B.4.A
When counting objects, say the number names in the standard order, pairing each object with one and only one number name and each number name with one and only one object.
- CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.CC.B.4.B
Understand that the last number name said tells the number of objects counted. The number of objects is the same regardless of their arrangement or the order in which they were counted.
- CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.CC.B.5
Count to answer "how many?" questions about as many as 20 things arranged in a line, a rectangular array, or a circle, or as many as 10 things in a scattered configuration; given a number from 1-20, count out that many objects.
