Ocean Themed Counting Worksheets to Use with LEGO

Last week I started sharing some ocean themed printables with you. Today I have some ocean themed counting worksheets to share with you. They were designed to be used with LEGO, but you could easily use a variety of counting materials with them. You will find a list of counting materials listed later in this post.

Ocean Themed Counting Worksheets

Getting the Ocean Themed Counting Worksheets Ready

The first thing you will need to do is print out the Ocean Themed Counting Worksheets. You don’t have to print out the whole set. If you like you can print out just a few number mats at a time.

The mats are really colorful! You will want to print out the ocean themed counting worksheets on a color printer.

Gathering LEGO

You will need to a variety of different types of bricks for these worksheets. The long bricks work best for the Tally Marks section. You can use any type of bricks you like in the Number of Bricks section.

Other Counting Materials

If you would rather not use LEGO for this activity you could use any of the following:

Tally Mark Materials

Small Popsicle Sticks
Sections of Pipe Cleaners
Crayons
Toothpicks

Number of Bricks Materials

Buttons
Pom Poms
Bottle Caps
Beads

Exploring the Counting Worksheets

You will want to have your children read the sentence at the top of each worksheet. Then you will want them to count the ocean pictures displayed. The mat for the number nine doesn’t say how many strands of seaweed are displayed. I thought it would be fun to have one of the counting worksheets ask children just to count the pictures.

After figuring out the number they are exploring on that counting worksheet, they will need to put the right number of narrow LEGO in the Tally Mark section. Then they can put the right number of bricks in the Number of Bricks section.
