Grade 1 number sequence → Chooses the next whole number → Builds accuracy counting forward within 20 with written numerals.
Written numerals → Connects a number to the one after it → Strengthens number order practice in a clear task.
Counting within 20 → Counts on by one from a given number → Supports steady answers without restarting at one every time.

Kids often know the counting song, then stall when one number is sitting alone on the page. This activity keeps the task clear: look at a number, think about what comes next, and choose the next whole number. All answers stay at 20 or below, so it fits early Grade 1 counting and number sense practice.
This is a good match when a child can count forward with support and is starting to connect spoken numbers to written numerals. Sit nearby at first and ask, “What number comes after this one?” If they hesitate, count together from a number they know, then return to the item and let them choose.
The practice works because it repeats one small idea without extra directions getting in the way. Your child reads or identifies the starting number, counts on by one, and marks the next number. That builds comfort with number order, especially across the teen numbers where many first graders still need extra time.
For a next step, use the Find the Missing Numbers Worksheet to practice filling gaps in a longer number sequence. When numbers above ten start to feel confusing, the Tens and Ones Number Cards Worksheet can help connect teen numbers to place value in a hands-on way.

Seeing your child hold a pencil like a dagger can trigger instant panic. But constantly 'correcting' their grip often leads to tears and a hatred of drawing.
