Number Words to Numerals Worksheet

Six-year-olds can know a number when they hear it and still pause when they see the word in print. This page gives a short, focused way to connect the number words sixteen, eight, six, two, and four with their numerals. First graders read each word and write the matching numeral in a large box, so the task stays clear and hands-on.

This is a good fit when a child can count familiar small amounts and is starting to notice number words in books, games, or classroom work. The set is intentionally mixed, with 16, 8, 6, 2, and 4, rather than a full one to twenty chart. If writing still feels slow, let them point to the word, say the number, and then form the numeral with a pencil or crayon.

The practice works by asking for one careful match at a time: printed word to spoken number to written numeral. That helps a child slow down and check details, especially with look-alike numerals or teen numbers. For more quantity practice after this page, try counting and drawing circles so the written numbers connect back to actual amounts.

Sit nearby and ask what number the word says before any writing begins. If they get stuck, cover the other rows and offer a simple choice, like six or sixteen. Keep the page for another quick round later, or use selected number cards to review the same idea in a movable, game-like way.
