Numeracy Match: Counting and Number Recognition Worksheet
Children ages 4-6 strengthen number recognition by matching written numerals to their corresponding word names or quantities, reinforcing that numbers can be represented in more than one way. This kind of numeral-to-word matching deepens number sense beyond simple counting, helping children see the relationship between symbol, word, and quantity. Coloring in their birth date personalizes the practice and connects it to something meaningful in their own life.

How to use this worksheet
Look at the numbers on the left side of the page together and read each one aloud. Have your child find the matching word or quantity on the right side, drawing a line to connect the two once they're confident in the match. Continue through each pair, checking together that the connections make sense before moving on. Finish by having your child find and color in their own birth date somewhere on the page.
