Number Words Matching Worksheet

Kids can recognize a numeral one day and stall when that same number is written as a word. This page keeps the work small and focused. Children draw lines to match the numerals 2, 9, 3, 7, and 6 with the written number words two, nine, three, seven, and six.

This is a good fit when a child can count some objects or say number names, but still needs practice connecting print to meaning. It is not a full one-to-ten chart. It is a short matching task, which makes it easier to slow down, point, read, and choose without too many items on the page.

Sit nearby and read the number words together if needed. You might say, “Find 3. Now let’s look for the word three.” Have your child trace each line with a finger before using a pencil, then check each match by saying the numeral and word out loud. If number order practice would help next, try the next number to ten worksheet for a simple follow-up with sequencing.

For reuse, slide the page into a dry-erase sleeve or ask your child to point to matches before drawing lines. If the words feel tricky, do a quick warm-up with the number cards reading worksheet, since card-style reading can help children look closely at each numeral before matching it to print.
