Next Number to 20 Worksheet
The next number to 20 worksheet gives first graders practice with counting forward by one. Each problem asks the child to look at a number and choose the next whole number, with all answers at 20 or below.
Number order matters a lot at age six because addition, subtraction, place value, and mental math all rest on knowing what comes next. Many children can chant numbers quickly, then stall when a worksheet asks for the number after 13 or 18.
A parent or teacher can sit beside the child and read each number aloud. Ask, “What number comes right after?” Let the child point, say the answer, and mark the choice, then use a finger count from the given number if the answer feels unsure.
The page keeps the task clear and small, so the child can focus on one skill instead of sorting through busy directions. The answer range stays within 20, which makes the worksheet a good fit for short, screen-free practice at home, in a math center, or during extra review.
