Count and Match: Number Names Worksheet for Preschoolers
This worksheet helps children ages 3-5 connect a counted group of objects to its written number name, reinforcing that a quantity, a numeral, and a number word all represent the same idea. Counting a group and then finding its matching name — rather than just its matching numeral — adds an extra layer of number literacy, since your child must recognize or read the word form as well as understand the quantity.

How to use this worksheet
Look at the first group of objects together and count them out loud, touching each one as you count. Once you have the total, look at the number names listed on the page and read them together, sounding out any unfamiliar words. Have your child draw a line from the counted group to its matching number name. Repeat this process for each group on the page, encouraging your child to recount if they're unsure of the total.
