Free Raindrop Number Subitizing & Counting Printable
Number and counting are skills that kids learn early in PreK and kindergarten. One skill they learn is number subitizing. This is where you look and just know the number.
This can be done with ten frames, tally marks, and dice. These are just a few of those. And you will find all three in this number matching printable.
You can work on matching one item to the number or all four items.
The Raindrop Subitizing Number Practice & Counting printable is apart of the 20 Free Printables for April.

What is Subitizing?
Subitizing is the ability to recognize a small group of objects without counting. This would be with dots, dice, and tally marks as examples of groups of objects. Subitizing is part of the development of number sense.
Today’s number printable works on learning to match groups of objects to the correct number. You will find raindrops to match a numbered cloud. Plus there is a picture with a boy with an umbrella and raindrops to count and sort as well.
You will find tally marks, ten frames, and dice for the raindrops to match the number on the cloud.
I recommend printing on cardstock and laminating so you can use these over and over.
You have numbers from 1 to 10 on the clouds. These number cards are for use with the raindrops to sort under the numbers.
You can see the four different types of numbers you can sort. You have three that are great for subitizing and one is great for counting. You have dice, ten frames, tally marks, and counting raindrops.
Things to use with the Raindrop Subitizing Number Practice & Counting Printable
Ways to Use the Raindrop Subitizing Number Practice & Counting Printable
Setting up the Raindrop Number Sorting Activity
You can see we set up four numbers and the items to sort. This is a simple number set for a number learning center. You can say what each of the numbers on the cards are and then count up to each number.
You could also set it up so they get one number at a time and then they have to go through all the cards to find the correct ones to match.
Sort all the Number Raindrops
You can start all the raindrops to the correct numbers. You can see that they line up nicely under the numbers. You can talk about how they know which of the numbers matches correctly.
You can do all the numbers of just a few.
Sort Just One Raindrop For Each Number
A simple sorting activity for those just starting out would be to use just one set of the raindrop and have them sort similar raindrops to the numbers. You can see the tally marks below. But you could also do just the dice.
Sort all the Tally Marker & Dice Raindrops
If they are doing great with one set of numbers they work up to doing two raindrops for each number. You can see that we did the dice and the tally marks for each number. This is really great number printable that is flexible for different ways that kids learn.
Count & Sort the Raindrops
There is a counting part to this printable. It is the boy with the raindrops that are on the side. You can count the raindrop and then sort the raindrops to the correct number.
Put the Number Raindrops in Number Order
Another activity you can do with just the raindrops is to put them in order. You can see that we put the dice in number order. You can have them say the number for each of the raindrops. You can use any of the raindrops for this number activity.
Make the Tally Markes on the Number
You can add a hands-on activity with its by using craft sticks to make the tally marks on the raindrops. This lets kids who need some hands-on activity use the raindrops in different ways.
Match the Ten Frames on the Raindrop
You could also use unifix cubes and make the ten frame that they see on the raindrop. This is another good hands-on counting activity for numbers.
