Goldfish Bowl

Worksheet Description

This worksheet features an illustration of a fishbowl filled with water, positioned above a row of fish illustrations. The activity asks students to color the fishes and then cut and paste them into the fishbowl, transforming it from an empty state to a full one. This interactive task combines coloring, cutting, and pasting, which are all engaging actions for young learners. The goal is to fill the fishbowl with the colored fish to visually represent the concept of fullness.

The worksheet is designed to teach students about the concepts of empty and full through a creative and hands-on activity. By coloring and moving the fish into the bowl, students can grasp the transformation of the bowl from an empty to a full state. This task also develops fine motor skills through the actions of coloring, cutting, and pasting. Moreover, the worksheet introduces early counting skills, as students may count the fish while filling the bowl, and reinforces the idea that a collection of items can change the status of a container from empty to full.
