Next Number to Ten Worksheet

English Counting & Number Sense Kindergarten Readiness 6 years old

Six-year-olds often know the counting song, then pause when they have to use it with printed numbers. This page keeps the task simple: look at the given number, count forward by one, and choose the next whole number. All answers stay at 10 or below, so the work feels familiar while still asking for careful thinking.

This is a good fit when a child can count in order to 10 with help and is starting to connect spoken number words with written numerals. If reading the numerals is the sticky part, try a quick warm-up with the number cards reading worksheet first, because it gives extra practice naming numbers before choosing what comes next.

As you sit together, invite your child to point to the starting number and say the next count out loud. For example, they can whisper the count, tap once for the next number, or use fingers if that helps. The goal is steady counting forward, not speed. If a mistake happens, go back to the number before it and count together once.

When this page feels comfortable, move into number order with a missing-number activity. The find the missing numbers worksheet asks children to notice what belongs in a sequence, which is a natural next step after choosing the number that comes right after another number.
