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.

How to use this worksheet

Start by reading the numerals down the left column together, then read each number-name word on the right column aloud. Ask your child to find the number name that matches each numeral and draw a straight line connecting the pair with a pencil. Work through the list one row at a time rather than jumping around, since skipping ahead often causes crossed or tangled lines. Once every pair is connected, have your child trace back over each line while saying the number name aloud to double-check their work.

Materials needed

  • Pencil
  • Crayons

Extension activities

  • Make a set of numeral cards and number-name word cards and play a memory-matching game.
  • Write numbers 1-10 on sticky notes and hide them around the room for your child to find and read aloud.
  • Have your child write the number name next to a group of counted objects, like five buttons or three spoons.
  • Sing a counting song and pause on each number to say its written name together.
