Numbers One Five and Three Matching Worksheet

Kids can stall when a number word looks long, even if they know the numeral right away. This preschool math page focuses on three number words, one, five, and three. For each item, the child looks at the number word, uses the picture cue, and identifies the matching numeral from three choices.

This is a good fit when a child is starting to connect spoken number names, printed number words, and written numerals. You do not need to treat it like a test. Sit together, read the word aloud if needed, and ask, “Which number shows that?” The picture cue gives one more way to think before choosing.

The practice is simple on purpose. It asks children to read or listen to a number word, compare it with the numeral choices, and mark the one that matches. That builds early number sense by helping them notice that the word “five,” the spoken word five, and the numeral 5 all point to the same amount idea.

After this page, keep the next step just as concrete. If counting objects would help, try the Circles Count and Draw Worksheet so the numeral is tied to a set they can count. If the numeral choices feel easy and your child is ready to think about order, the Next Number to Five Worksheet gives more practice with numbers up to five.
