These sheets cover a wide span, from a two-year-old counting apples to a first grader subtracting within 20. Picking by skill rather than by age tends to work better, so here is roughly how they build on each other.
- Ages 2-4, first numbers. Start with counting 1 to 5 with apples. Small quantities a child can see at a glance, without needing to count one by one.
- Ages 3-5, counting and forming numbers. Counting to 10, number tracing 1 to 10, ten frames, shapes and patterns. Recognizing a number, writing it, and seeing what the quantity looks like are three separate skills.
- Ages 4-6, working with larger numbers. Counting to 20, number bonds to 10, greater than and less than, counting by 5s and 10s. Number bonds in particular are what make addition feel obvious later.
- Ages 5-7, adding and subtracting. Addition within 20 and subtraction within 20. Worth waiting on until counting to 20 is comfortable without pointing.
Concrete first, worksheet second
The Montessori sequence is always physical before symbolic. A worksheet records what a child already understands; it is a poor way to introduce something new.
- Count the real thing first. Buttons, pasta, stones on the table, and only then the printed page.
- One concept per sitting. Counting and number formation on the same sheet usually means neither lands.
- Let them use fingers and objects for as long as they want to. Taking the counters away early makes children guess instead of reason.
- Stop while it is still going well rather than finishing every box on the page.
