Three and four year olds are learning that each number word goes with exactly one object and that the last number said tells how many. Each row here holds one to five winter pictures, small enough to count without losing track. Circling the numeral links the amount to its written symbol, and the coloring task asks your child to make a set of a given size, which shows real understanding of quantity rather than reciting numbers from memory.

Short descriptions in our own words. About our standards.
Read the instructions aloud and point to the numbers 1 to 5 at the end of each row so your child knows the choices. If your child circles the wrong number, count the pictures again together while touching each one, then find that number in the row. In the coloring task, stop after each colored picture and ask "how many now?"
Easier: Use only the first three rows and say the numbers together before circling. Placing a small toy on each picture while counting keeps the count steady.
Harder: Ask your child to trace the circled number with a finger, then point to the row with the most pictures and the row with the fewest.
