Dozen Worksheet – Hen and Cheerio Eggs

Here is a worksheet that I drew up for my kids to teach them the concept of one dozen.  My five year old, four year old and three year old all enjoyed it and my one year old enjoyed eating cheerios.  Here’s how it works: you the parent set out cheerios on each of the eggs surrounding the hen and the children sort them into the egg carton and then count them.  How many eggs?  You prompt them to answer both in the form of “12” and “one dozen”.  You can do this again and again as many times as they like encouraging the use of the new vocabulary, “What is another way to say twelve?”
