Ten Green Bottles - Worksheet

The "Ten Green Bottles" worksheets are a series of engaging activities designed to help young learners with counting and simple arithmetic. In the initial worksheet, children are presented with a number of bottles and asked to calculate how many there would be if one more bottle were added. They write their answers in provided boxes, which encourages them to engage with basic addition. Another section of the worksheet challenges them to think in reverse; they must determine how many bottles there would be if one were taken away, practicing basic subtraction skills.

Subsequent worksheets continue to build on these counting skills. Worksheet 2 presents a different set of counting exercises where children count the bottles depicted on the wall and record their answers. The accompanying answer sheet provides the correct number of bottles for each question, allowing for self-assessment or teacher evaluation. In Worksheet 3, the exercises are repeated with different numbers of bottles to further reinforce the concepts of adding and subtracting one. Finally, Worksheet 4 shifts the focus to colouring a specific number of bottles, which not only aids in number recognition but also helps to develop fine motor skills. The answers for the colouring task are implied by the instructions, as the children are directed to colour a set number of bottles.
