This resource comes in both col and b/w option for your preference and comes at 2 task cards per page.
There are instructions included on the front page of the document. I recommend cutting them out individually and then laminating them, this will make them stronger and longer lasting - meaning you can use them over and over again.

2d shapes included are;

An answer key is provided on the bottom page of the recording sheet PDF file.
Instructions are also included on first pages of each PDF document. This download includes two PDF documents - one for the count the room flashcards and one for the recording sheets.
I would highly recommend laminating each of the individual flashcards so that they will be stronger, therefore longer lasting.
You can hide these flashcards anywhere you want to get the students active and moving about. Some example are:
