Identify Numbers Worksheet: Matching Numbers and Words
This worksheet builds number-word recognition by having children match written number names, like 'seven,' to their corresponding numeral, 7. For four- to six-year-olds, learning to read number words alongside numerals adds an important layer to early numeracy, since numbers appear in both written-word and symbol form in books, signs, and everyday life.

How to use this worksheet
Read the first number word aloud together, like 'five,' and help your child sound it out if needed. Ask them to scan the numerals on the other side of the page to find the matching numeral, then draw a line connecting the word to the number. After completing the matching section, have your child cut out the numeral pieces and paste each one directly onto its matching written number word for extra reinforcement. Finish by reading through all the completed word-number pairs together.
