Let’s look at the worksheet titled “I can count the objects.”
We need to count how many of each object are in the big box, and then write that number in the small square below it.
The objects we’re counting are:
- Acorn
- Leaf (the one with 3 points)
- Sunflower
- Scarecrow
- Pumpkin
- Squirrel
Let’s go row by row and count each type.
First, let’s list all the items in order from left to right, top to bottom:
Row 1:
Acorn, Leaf, Sunflower, Scarecrow, Sunflower
Row 2:
Pumpkin, Acorn, Squirrel, Sunflower, Pumpkin
Row 3:
Sunflower, Scarecrow, Acorn, Leaf, Squirrel
Row 4:
Squirrel, Sunflower, Pumpkin, Acorn, Scarecrow
Now let’s count each one:
🌰 Acorns:
Row 1: 1
Row 2: 1
Row 3: 1
Row 4: 1
→ Total = 4
🍂 Leaves (3-pointed):
Row 1: 1
Row 3: 1
→ Total = 2
🌻 Sunflowers:
Row 1: 2
Row 2: 1
Row 3: 1
Row 4: 1
→ Total = 5
🧑🌾 Scarecrows:
Row 1: 1
Row 3: 1
Row 4: 1
→ Total = 3
🎃 Pumpkins:
Row 2: 2
Row 4: 1
→ Total = 3
🐿️ Squirrels:
Row 2: 1
Row 3: 1
Row 4: 1
→ Total = 3
Wait — let me double-check because I think I might have missed something.
Let me make a tally for each as I go through every single item again carefully.
List of all 20 items (5 per row × 4 rows):
1. Acorn → acorn=1
2. Leaf → leaf=1
3. Sunflower → sun=1
4. Scarecrow → scare=1
5. Sunflower → sun=2
6. Pumpkin → pump=1
7. Acorn → acorn=2
8. Squirrel → squir=1
9. Sunflower → sun=3
10. Pumpkin → pump=2
11. Sunflower → sun=4
12. Scarecrow → scare=2
13. Acorn → acorn=3
14. Leaf → leaf=2
15. Squirrel → squir=2
16. Squirrel → squir=3
17. Sunflower → sun=5
18. Pumpkin → pump=3
19. Acorn → acorn=4
20. Scarecrow → scare=3
Okay, now final counts:
Acorn: 4
Leaf: 2
Sunflower: 5
Scarecrow: 3
Pumpkin: 3
Squirrel: 3
Now match these to the boxes under the pictures.
Under the acorn picture → write 4
Under the leaf picture → write 2
Under the sunflower picture → write 5
Under the scarecrow picture → write 3
Under the pumpkin picture → write 3
Under the squirrel picture → write 3
But wait — looking back at the worksheet layout, the bottom section has 6 boxes arranged like this:
[ ] [ ] [ ]
[ ] [ ] [ ]
And above them are icons:
Top row of icons: Acorn, Leaf, Sunflower
Bottom row of icons: Pumpkin, Scarecrow, Squirrel
So we fill:
First box (under acorn) → 4
Second box (under leaf) → 2
Third box (under sunflower) → 5
Fourth box (under pumpkin) → 3
Fifth box (under scarecrow) → 3
Sixth box (under squirrel) → 3
Yes, that matches our counts.
Final Answer:
4, 2, 5, 3, 3, 3
