This 2-page resource is great for children to practise counting. Page 2 is an excellent step up from Page 1. The overlapping animals and higher numbers encourage children to use “crossing out” or “dotting” strategies to avoid double-counting.

Visual Clarity: The white background and distinct colors for each species make the “spotting” part of the task accessible for Year 1 and Year 2 students.

Vocabulary Opportunity: You can use this to introduce specific names like “clownfish” or “crustacean” (for the lobster).
