Turn any counting worksheet into number flashcards with objects
Ready-made printables show generic apples and stars, but rarely match the counting work your child is doing this week. Upload what you already have and get a custom set in minutes.
Why build your own counting cards
Printable sheets with pictures of apples and stars are easy to find, but they seldom line up with the exact groups, numerals or word problems in your child's class. DeckOwl lets you create number flashcards with objects from the material you already have, so the pictures and numbers match what is being taught.
- Pair a group of objects with its numeral, then reverse the cards so the numeral comes first.
- Use the same object type across a set so attention stays on the count rather than the picture.
- Say each number aloud while pointing to every object once, one object per number word.
- Review the cards you miss more often than the ones you get right.
Works from your own pages
Upload a PDF, slide deck, typed notes or a photo of a worksheet. Text recognition reads the material so the cards match your lesson.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards come back at the right intervals, so counting facts that are shaky get more practice and secure ones appear less often.
Study in the browser
Practice on a laptop or tablet without installing anything. The Free plan includes browser study with 3 generations per month.
How it works
Add your material
Upload the worksheet, slide or page that shows the objects you want to count.
Generate the cards
DeckOwl writes flashcards with a question or number on the front and the count or answer on the back.
Review little and often
Practice for a few minutes a day and let spaced repetition bring back the cards you miss.
Start with one page of counting work. Each card can show a group of objects on one side and the numeral or total on the other, and you can add subtraction or comparison questions from the same page. Shorter sets reviewed daily tend to be easier to keep up with than long stacks used once a week.
Because the cards come from your own source, you can keep building as the lessons move from counting to 20 and then to simple addition.

Frequently asked questions
How do I teach counting with objects using flashcards?
Show a group of one to ten identical objects on one side and the numeral on the other, then reverse the card. Say the count aloud while pointing to each object once.
What number range suits flashcards with objects for kindergarten?
Most kindergarten counting work starts at 1 to 10 and extends toward 20 over the year. Short sets covering one range at a time are easier for young learners to review.

Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV are available on the Plus plan at $99.90/year or $9.99/month. The Free plan lets you study in the browser with 3 generations per month.
