Counting 1-10 exercise - Free Printable

Let’s count each group of objects carefully.

---

First row: Cows
There are 2 cows.
→ Answer: 2

---

Second row: Trees
Count the trees: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 → There are 5 trees.
→ Answer: 5

---

Third row: Fish
Top row: 3 fish
Bottom row: 4 fish
Total = 3 + 4 = 7 fish
→ Answer: 7

Fourth row: Soccer balls
Let’s count them one by one:
Left side: 2 balls (one on bottom left, one above it)
Middle: 2 balls (stacked vertically)
Right side: 2 balls (one on top right, one below it)
Wait — let me recount visually:

Actually, looking again:
- Bottom left: 1
- Above that: 1
- Middle bottom: 1
- Middle top: 1
- Right bottom: 1
- Right top: 1

That’s 6 soccer balls total.

Wait — let me list positions to be sure:

Imagine a grid:

Row 1 (top): [empty] [ball] [empty] [ball] [empty] [ball] → 3 balls? No, better to just count all visible.

Actually, from left to right, top to bottom:

1. Leftmost bottom
2. Above #1
3. Center bottom
4. Center top
5. Right bottom
6. Right top

Yes — 6 soccer balls.

But wait — in the image description, we have numbers available: 7, 6, 2, 8, 5

We already used 2 and 5 for cows and trees.

Fish was 7.

Soccer balls — let me double-check with actual counting:

Looking at the arrangement:

It's like this:

● ● ●
● ● ●

No — actually, standard layout is:

Left column: 2 balls (vertical)
Middle column: 2 balls (vertical)
Right column: 2 balls (vertical)

Wait — no, looking again:

Actually, in the original problem, the soccer balls are arranged as:

- One on far left (bottom)
- One above it (left middle)
- One in center bottom
- One in center top
- One on far right bottom
- One on far right top

That’s 6.

But let me check if I missed any.

Alternatively, maybe it’s:

Positions:

(1,1) - empty
(1,2) - ball
(1,3) - empty
(1,4) - ball
(1,5) - empty
(1,6) - ball

(2,1) - ball
(2,2) - empty
(2,3) - ball
(2,4) - empty
(2,5) - ball
(2,6) - empty

Wait — that would be 6 too.

Actually, simpler: Just count every single soccer ball shown.

In the image (as described), there are 6 soccer balls.

But let’s look at the last item: lollipops.

---

Fifth row: Lollipops

Count them: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 → 8 lollipops.

So now we have:

Cows: 2
Trees: 5
Fish: 7
Soccer balls: ?
Lollipops: 8

Available numbers: 7, 6, 2, 8, 5

We’ve assigned:

Cows → 2
Trees → 5
Fish → 7
Lollipops → 8

That leaves only 6 for soccer balls.

And indeed, when we counted soccer balls, we got 6.

Perfect.

So final matching:

Cows = 2
Trees = 5
Fish = 7
Soccer balls = 6
Lollipops = 8

All numbers from the box are used exactly once.

Final Answer:
Cows: 2
Trees: 5
Fish: 7
Soccer balls: 6
Lollipops: 8
