LKG Maths Worksheets

LKG maths in most Indian schools covers pre-number concepts (big/small, tall/short, more/less, same/different), counting and writing numbers 1 to 20, matching numbers to quantities, 2D shapes, simple patterns, sorting and classification, and sometimes the number names one to ten. Addition and subtraction with symbols are introduced in UKG.

By the end of LKG a child should count objects to 20, read and write numerals to 20, compare two groups and say which has more, recognise and name basic shapes, copy and extend a simple pattern, sort objects by colour or size, and use comparison words such as bigger, longer and heavier. These match the NCF-FS 2022 numeracy outcomes for ages four to five.

Teach teen numbers as "ten and some more". Use a ten-frame or two rows of five objects: fill ten, then add the extra ones and count on from ten. Say the number name and write it together, pointing out that 1 comes first for every teen number. Practise 11 to 15 until secure before moving to 16 to 20, and revisit 1 to 10 sheets in between.

Many CBSE and ICSE schools introduce number names one to ten in the last term of LKG and expect them to be written in UKG. In LKG the focus is on matching the numeral, the quantity and the spoken word; reading the written name is the next step. If your school teaches number names early, pair each numeral sheet with the matching word card.

One sheet a day, about ten minutes, is plenty. Number sense builds through repeated short practice with real objects, not through volume of paper. If the school sends its own maths homework, use these sheets on weekends for the topic that was shaky during the week, such as teen numbers or shapes.

Yes. Every sheet downloads free as a watermarked PDF after creating an account, with a limit of five downloads a day. An annual subscription removes the watermark and daily limit for the full library of more than 1,000 worksheets and packs, which is the usual choice for teachers printing class sets on A4.
