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.

How to use this worksheet
Look at the numerals listed at the bottom of the page together and say each number aloud. Ask your child to think about how that number would be spelled as a word, then search the grid for that spelled-out number name, scanning row by row. Once they find a match, have them circle it and connect it back to the correct numeral. Continue through each number, reviewing the full list of matched number names together at the end.
