Answer Key
Teacher Notes:
Use this homework sheet to practice early number sense through art-based activities. Students should count objects, recognize numerals, match quantities to numbers, and represent numbers with simple drawing or coloring. Suggested classroom use: send home as independent practice, small-group review, or an art center follow-up. Learning objectives: identify numbers 1–5, count objects with one-to-one correspondence, compare small groups, and show numbers in creative ways. Differentiation: For struggling learners, allow finger counting, point-and-say counting, and adult read-aloud support. For advanced learners, ask students to explain how they know, or extend counting up to 10 on extra paper.
