Number Words and Numerals Worksheet

Kids often know the counting song before they can connect a written word to a written number. On this kindergarten math page, your child reads the number words four, seven, two, ten, and six, then writes the matching numerals in large boxes. It is a small set on purpose, so the focus stays on careful reading and number recognition instead of racing through a full chart.

This is a good fit when a child can say numbers to ten and is starting to notice that number words have meaning on the page. Sit nearby and ask, “What number word do you see?” If reading the word is hard, say it aloud together, then have your child name the numeral before writing it. That keeps the task hands-on and calm.

The practice works by linking three pieces of number sense: the spoken number, the written word, and the numeral. For example, “seven” is read as a word, heard as a number name, and written as 7. If your child needs more work with choosing a numeral after counting objects, try the animal counting number choice worksheet next because it adds picture counting before the number choice.

After this page, keep the next step simple. Point to one completed answer and ask your child to count that many fingers, blocks, or crayons. When ten feels interesting, the tens and ones number cards worksheet can help show how 10 starts place-value thinking in a concrete way.
