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.

How to use this worksheet
Read the first number name aloud together, sounding it out if needed, and ask your child what numeral that word represents. Have them find the matching number on the dartboard and draw a line connecting the word to it. Continue through each number name on the list, encouraging your child to say both the word and the numeral out loud as they draw each line. When finished, review the completed matches together, counting from smallest to largest number as a final check.
