Trace and Write Numbers 11-15: Counting and Writing Worksheet
This worksheet helps children ages 4-6 practice tracing and writing the number words from eleven to fifteen, moving beyond single-digit numbers into the trickier teen range where number names don't always follow an obvious pattern. Matching the number of dots on dice to the correct written number name also reinforces that these longer number words still represent a specific countable quantity.

How to use this worksheet
Have your child trace the numeral and the number word for eleven first, saying the word aloud as they trace each letter. Move to the dice picture, having your child count the dots carefully since teen numbers involve larger quantities that take more focused counting. Once they've counted correctly, have them write the matching number name in the space provided. Continue through twelve, thirteen, fourteen, and fifteen in the same trace-count-write sequence.
Materials needed
- Pencil
- Eraser
Extension activities
- •Have the child find objects around the house and count them, writing both the number and the number word.
- •Use flashcards to practice number recognition and writing for the teen numbers specifically.
- •Make a matching game pairing numeral cards, like '13,' with their written word, 'thirteen.'
- •Build towers of blocks for each number from 11 to 15 and compare their heights.
Tips for parents and teachers
Encourage the child to say the number words aloud as they trace and write, since the teen numbers have irregular spelling patterns that benefit from extra verbal repetition. Provide positive reinforcement and celebrate their progress, since counting accurately into the teens is a genuine leap from counting to ten. If your child loses track while counting dice dots, have them touch each dot individually and pause between groups of five.

Trace the Numbers 1-9 Worksheet for Preschoolers
Tracing the numerals 1 through 9 gives children ages 3-5 repeated, guided practice with the specific pencil strokes each number requires, building the fine motor control and muscle memory needed for independent number writing. Because tracing follows a fixed, correct path, it also reinforces accurate numeral recognition, helping children tell visually similar digits apart.
Caterpillar Counting Worksheet for Preschoolers
Counting the segments of each caterpillar teaches children ages 3-5 one-to-one correspondence — touching or marking each segment exactly once while saying a number — which is the core skill underlying accurate counting. Writing the final total in a box also connects the physical act of counting to its written numeral, reinforcing early number-writing practice.
Pac-Man Maze Worksheet: Count and Move!
This dice-counting maze gives children ages 3-5 repeated practice matching a rolled number to the correct number of moves, reinforcing accurate counting under a bit of playful pressure. Tracking Pac-Man's current position after each roll also builds short-term spatial memory, since children must remember where they left off before moving again.
CVC Train Worksheet: Write and Build CVC Words!
This worksheet gives children ages 4-6 focused practice blending letter sounds into consonant-vowel-consonant words, using train-car pictures as clues for words like 'dog,' 'hen,' or 'cup.' Because children both write the word and can optionally build it with Lego blocks, this worksheet reinforces the same phonics skill through two different physical actions — handwriting and hands-on construction — which helps the spelling patterns stick.
Plant Parts Worksheet: Identify and Label the Parts of a Plant!
This worksheet teaches children ages 4-6 to identify and independently label the flower, stem, leaf, and roots of a plant, moving a step beyond simple matching toward recalling vocabulary from memory. Optionally adding pulses or grains to the diagram introduces a tactile, sensory layer that helps reinforce which part is which through touch as well as sight.
Pac-Man Maze Worksheet: Count and Move!
This dice-driven maze combines counting practice with path-following for children ages 3-5, since they must accurately count dots on a die before moving Pac-Man the matching number of spaces forward. Deciding how far to move and staying on the correct path also builds early strategic thinking, as children track their current position within the maze after each turn.
Corn Seed Addition Worksheet for Preschoolers
Counting corn seeds on two ears of corn and combining them into one total teaches children ages 3-5 the core concept of addition as joining groups together, using a concrete, countable image rather than abstract numerals alone. This worksheet also builds one-to-one correspondence, since accurate addition depends on touching or pointing to each seed exactly once while counting.
Number Matching Worksheet: 0-18
This activity strengthens numeral recognition for children ages 3-5 by having them find and pair matching numbers from 0 to 18 printed on separate strips. Because the numbers are scattered rather than in order, children must recognize each digit shape on its own rather than relying on counting sequence, which builds true number recognition instead of rote list-reciting.
