About this worksheet

A mystery picture of squares numbered 1 to 5, with a color key.

What kids practice

Before kids can add or compare, they need to know each number by sight, say its name, and match it to the right amount. This topic takes the numbers 1 to 10 one at a time with tracing, counting, coloring and hunting.

Watch for

  • Writing numbers backwards, especially 2, 3, 5, 7 and 9. This is very common and fades with practice.
  • Mixing up 6 and 9.
  • Saying the numbers in order but losing track when counting things.

It's free to print, with an answer key. See the full numbers 1 to 10 guide for kindergarten.
