Description
This printable teaching guide for children ages 3–5 uses squirrel-and-acorn play to build early number skills. Children count groups of acorns from 1 to 10, match numerals to quantities, compare more and fewer, identify a missing number, and practise number order. Use the playful activities during a small-group math lesson, a seasonal center, or guided play, adjusting the number range and support for each child.
