Numbers One, Three, and Five Matching Worksheet

A number can be shown with a numeral or written as a word. This number-name worksheet brings those forms together using 3 selected numbers: 3 (three), 1 (one), 5 (five). The task is to draw a line from each numeral to its matching number word. Read the words aloud with your child before asking for an independent response. This selection provides focused practice with the numbers shown, rather than a complete chart of every number in a range.

Begin with 3, written three. Point to the written word while saying it, then find the numeral and its word in the two lists before drawing a connection. Use counters on the table if a quantity model would help connect the written forms. Check one example together so the child understands how to use the rest of the page.

Move to 1, written one, and compare it with the first example. The number’s spoken name stays the same whether it appears as digits or a written word. Look through the full list of choices; a nearby word is not necessarily the matching one. Point to both ends before drawing a line. Pause on an unfamiliar spelling and model the whole word without requiring independent reading before the child is ready.

Visit the number 3 guide for related number information. The Early Math Essentials set offers additional number and quantity activities. Complete a few cards or rows, then review one uncertain match before continuing. For a follow-up away from the page, write a numeral and its number word on separate cards, match them together, and use a small group of counters to explain what both forms represent.
