Number Names Worksheet: Addition Practice for Kids
This worksheet combines addition practice with number-word writing for children ages 4-6, asking them to solve simple addition problems and then spell out the answer using its written name rather than a numeral. Requiring the answer in word form pushes children beyond calculation into applying number vocabulary correctly, reinforcing that 'seven' and '7' represent the same value. This dual task builds both math fluency and early spelling skills together.

How to use this worksheet
Read the first addition problem aloud together and have your child solve it, using fingers, drawn dots, or mental math depending on their comfort level. Once they know the sum, ask them to write the number name for that answer, like 'six' instead of '6', in the space provided. Continue solving and writing out each remaining problem the same way, checking spelling together as you go. Finish by reading through all the completed number-name answers as a final check.
Materials needed
- Pencil
Extension activities
- •Have the child create their own addition problems and write the answers in number names.
- •Use manipulatives (like blocks or counters) to help visualize the addition problems.
- •Make flashcards pairing simple sums with their number-name answers for quick review.
- •Practice writing number names 1-10 in order from memory.
- •Turn it into a game where you say a sum aloud and your child races to write the number-name answer.
Tips for parents and teachers
Encourage the child to sound out the words as they write the number names, since spelling number words correctly takes more repetition than writing digits. Provide assistance as needed and celebrate their effort, especially since combining two skills at once is genuinely challenging at this age. If spelling errors happen, gently show the correct spelling rather than simply marking it wrong.
