Count and Paste! Tens and Ones Worksheet
Counting groups of teddy bears and then matching each total to its tens-and-ones representation teaches children ages 4-6 to connect a counted quantity with its place value breakdown, reinforcing that numbers can be represented in more than one way. Cutting and pasting the matching representation adds fine motor practice to the counting and place value work.

How to use this worksheet
Have your child count the teddy bears in the first group carefully and write the total number in the box. Look at the tens-and-ones picture cutouts at the bottom of the page and ask your child to find the one that matches the number they just counted. Have them cut it out and paste it into the correct box, then repeat for each remaining group.
Materials needed
- Pencil
- Scissors
- Glue
Extension activities
- •Draw your own groups of objects and represent the totals as tens and ones.
- •Use base-ten blocks to build and check each number physically.
- •Group small toys at home into tens and count any leftover ones.
- •Play a number-matching memory game pairing numerals with tens-and-ones pictures.
- •Practice writing two-digit numbers while saying how many tens and ones make them up.
Tips for parents and teachers
Watch for your child pasting a tens-and-ones picture that doesn't quite match their counted total, and encourage them to double-check their count if the pairing looks off. Have them explain how many tens and ones make up their answer before gluing it down. Celebrate accuracy in both counting and matching, not just the final pasted picture.

Solar System Number Matching Worksheet for Preschoolers
This worksheet combines number-word recognition with a color-by-key coloring task for children ages 4-6, asking them to match number names written on planets to their corresponding numerals before coloring each planet according to a color code. Matching written number words in a space-themed context adds novelty that keeps repeated number-word practice fresh, while the color-key step reinforces careful, sequential following of visual instructions. Together, these two tasks combine literacy and numeracy practice in one engaging page.
Number Names Matching Worksheet for Preschoolers
This matching worksheet builds early number-word literacy for children ages 3-5 by asking them to connect each numeral with its written name. Learning that '5' and 'five' refer to the same quantity strengthens number sense and lays groundwork for reading math vocabulary later in school. The side-by-side layout also sharpens visual scanning and one-to-one matching skills.
Number Names Matching Worksheet for Preschoolers
This worksheet helps children ages 3-5 connect written number names, like 'three' or 'seven,' to the numeral they represent, an important step beyond simply recognizing digits since it introduces reading actual number words. Decoding a color clue to figure out and write each number name first adds an extra layer of visual attention before the matching step even begins.
Number Names Worksheet: Addition Practice for Kids
This worksheet combines addition practice with number-word writing for children ages 4-6, asking them to solve simple addition problems and then spell out the answer using its written name rather than a numeral. Requiring the answer in word form pushes children beyond calculation into applying number vocabulary correctly, reinforcing that 'seven' and '7' represent the same value. This dual task builds both math fluency and early spelling skills together.
Number Names Matching Worksheet for Preschoolers
This worksheet layers two skills for children ages 4-5: unscrambling the letters of a number-name word and then matching that word to its correct numeral. Unscrambling requires children to recognize familiar letter sequences, an early word-recognition skill, while matching reinforces that written number words correspond to specific quantities. Together these tasks push number-word literacy a step further than simple copying or tracing.
Number Names Matching Worksheet for Preschoolers
Matching numerals to their written number-word form, like connecting '5' to the word 'five,' teaches children ages 3-5 that numbers can be represented two different ways: as a symbol and as a spelled-out word. Searching for the correct number name within a word search grid also builds visual scanning and early sight-word recognition, since number words like 'one' or 'seven' don't always follow predictable spelling patterns. This dual practice strengthens both numeracy and literacy at the same time.
Number Names Matching Worksheet for Preschoolers
This worksheet helps children ages 3-5 connect written number words — like 'three' or 'seven' — to their matching numerals, an important step beyond simple numeral recognition toward full number literacy. Drawing a line from a number name to the numeral it stands for requires children to read or recall the word and hold it in mind while scanning for its match, which builds working memory alongside early reading and number skills.
