Count and Clip Counting Wheels
These counting wheels are a fun way for children to practise counting to 10! Each counting wheel features a different number for counting from 1 to 10. Students will count the objects in each section and clip them with a peg or paperclip if they belong. This is a fun, low prep and hands-on counting activity that is perfect for early finishers or rotations.
Students simply count the objects on each card, and then cover the correct number with a clothes peg or paper clip. A great activity for fast finishers and Mathematics rotations.
