First grader → Counts on from a given whole number → Chooses the next whole number through 20 with adult support.
Child → Reads and compares numerals within 20 → Matches the counting word that comes immediately after the number shown.
Parent and child → Say numbers aloud while pointing → Check each choice using the counting order instead of guessing.

Six-year-olds can know the counting song and still stall when one number is missing. This Grade 1 page asks them to look at a given whole number, count on by one, and choose the next whole number, with answers no higher than 20.
This works best when a child can count in order toward 20 and recognize many numerals in that range. If teen numbers still feel wobbly, stay close, let them point as they count, and keep the pace slow enough that they can think instead of guess.
The main skill is counting on. Your child starts with the number shown, says the next number in the counting order, and marks the matching answer. For a related step where the missing number may appear within a short sequence, try this find the missing numbers worksheet; it helps children use number order in a slightly different way.
As you sit together, ask, “What number comes right after this one?” If they hesitate, count aloud from the number before it, then return to the item. After this feels steady near 20, the tens and ones build worksheet is a useful next step because it connects teen numbers and 20 to place value with hands-on number building.
