Numbers Activity - Finding Numbers 1 - 10: The Great Number Hunt

Get ready to turn your kids into mini number detectives! This Finding Numbers 1-10 activity is like a treasure hunt, but instead of gold, they’re searching for sneaky little numbers hiding in plain sight. Armed with their trusty crayons, students will circle the instructed number (e.g., “Find all the 3s!”) while feeling like they just cracked the Da Vinci Code of math.

Ways to Use:

• Morning Work: Perfect for that quiet “let’s pretend we’re all awake” moment.

• Math Centers: Keeps kids busy, learning, and not trying to eat the glue.

• Homework: Fun enough that parents won’t side-eye you for assigning it.

• Substitute Plans: No complicated instructions, just numbers waiting to be circled.

Advantages:

• Number Recognition Mastery: Kids will spot 7s in their sleep after this.

• Focus Training: Sharpens their eagle eyes for spotting details.

• Fine Motor Skills: All that circling is basically finger yoga.

• Zero Prep: Print, hand out, and sit back while the numbers take the spotlight.

Your students will have so much fun, they might forget they’re learning. And you? You’ll feel like a teaching wizard. Win-win!

Enjoy!
