Primary Counting Puzzles

Recognizing patterns helps students to become better thinkers and problem solvers.  Counting and Cardinality are a big focus in kindergarten.  With this in mind, and taking an idea I saw somewhere, I created these puzzles for primary students.  I think they would be good in a station or as something for the kids to do when they finish other work.  Maybe you would want to use one for classroom management?--the class earns a piece when it reaches a goal, and when the puzzle is complete, they earn a reward.  I am sure you can think of some great ways to use them.  You'll just need to download the file, print it in color, laminate if you wish, and cut!
