Number Words to Numerals Worksheet

Six-year-olds can know a number when they hear it and still pause when that same number is written as a word. This first grade math worksheet keeps the task focused: read number words for seven, four, fifteen, eight, and six, then write each matching numeral in the large box.

Use it when counting to 20 is familiar, but number words still feel new. The page is not a full 1 to 20 chart. It gives a small selected set, so you can hear where your child is confident and where a word like fifteen needs another slow read.

The practice works by connecting three parts of number sense: the spoken number, the written word, and the numeral your child writes. Say one word together, have them write the numeral, then ask how they know. If the next step is number order, try the next whole number to 20 worksheet because it keeps numbers in the same range while shifting attention to what comes after.

Stay close for the first item, then let the rest be a quiet try. If a numeral is reversed or mixed up, point to the word again and rewrite the numeral beside it on scrap paper before they fix the box. For a hands-on follow-up with fifteen, the tens and ones build worksheet helps show how a teen number can be made from tens and ones.
