UKG Maths Worksheets (Ages 5–6)
UKG maths worksheets are practice sheets for children aged 5–6 in Upper Kindergarten (Senior KG) in India. Maths covers number sense, counting, the four basic operations, shapes, measurement and patterns, taught through objects before abstract symbols. The sheets on this page cover number sense and counting, addition and subtraction, shapes and measurement and patterns and comparison.
Upper Kindergarten shifts from recognising symbols to using them: children blend letter sounds into words, write short sentences, and solve small addition and subtraction sums instead of only counting objects. Numbers extend to fifty, and the plus and minus signs appear on the page for the first time. Five-year-olds join and separate groups within 10 and write the matching equation. A balanced set covers addition and subtraction with pictures and then numbers only, number bonds to 10 on a ten frame, writing numerals to 20 and counting aloud to 100, comparing two numbers, teen numbers as ten and some more, 3D shapes such as cube and sphere, measuring by comparison, and sort-and-count charts. Regrouping and place value beyond the teens are next year's content.

Christmas Pattern Worksheet: Circle the Next Picture!
This seasonal worksheet gives children ages 4-6 practice identifying a repeating pattern using Christmas-themed pictures and predicting which picture logically comes next. Pattern prediction requires children to notice a repeating rule and apply it forward, a skill that underlies later math concepts like skip counting and multiplication tables. The festive imagery adds seasonal excitement that can make repeated pattern practice feel like a holiday game.
Time Telling Worksheet: Circle the Correct Time!
Reading an analog clock face and choosing the matching time from three written options builds clock-reading fluency for children ages 5-7, requiring them to interpret both the hour and minute hands together rather than guessing from a single hand.
Counting and Comparing: Greater Than, Less Than, or Equal To Worksheet
This worksheet builds on basic counting by asking children to compare two separate groups of pictures and decide whether one group has more, fewer, or the same number as the other, then represent that relationship with the correct symbol. For four- to six-year-olds, this task combines accurate counting with comparative reasoning, both of which are essential building blocks for later mathematical problem solving.
Word Problem Fun: Solving Burger and Bird Problems!
Solving addition and subtraction word problems featuring burgers and birds gives children ages 4-6 practice applying arithmetic to playful, concrete scenarios, strengthening the link between story context and the correct math operation.
Subtraction Worksheet: Count and Subtract for Preschoolers
This worksheet introduces children ages 4-6 to subtraction by having them count a group of objects, take away the indicated amount, and write the resulting difference. Grounding subtraction in physical counting rather than abstract number facts helps children build real number sense, understanding subtraction as 'taking away' rather than just memorizing symbols and answers.
Froggy Skip Counting Worksheet: Practice Number Patterns!
This worksheet introduces children ages 4-6 to skip counting — counting forward by a number other than one, such as by 2s or 5s — using a playful frog theme to keep the repetitive number pattern engaging. Recognizing and continuing a skip-counting sequence builds early number pattern awareness, a skill that later supports multiplication, telling time, and counting money.
Word Problems Worksheet: Addition Practice for Young Learners
Solving simple addition word problems teaches children ages 4-6 to translate a short story into a number sentence, practicing both reading comprehension and the mechanics of combining two groups into a total.
Comparing Numbers Worksheet: Greater Than, Less Than, and Equal To!
Children ages 4-6 learn to compare two numbers and choose the correct symbol — greater than, less than, or equal to — building an essential foundation for later work with inequalities and algebra. Comparing quantities and representing the relationship symbolically is a more abstract skill than simple counting, so this worksheet stretches children just past straightforward number recognition into true numerical reasoning.
Sheep's Barnyard Adventure: A Fun Counting and Movement Worksheet
This board-game-style worksheet helps children ages 4-6 practice counting and number recognition by rolling a die and moving a sheep piece along a numbered path, following simple instructions at each stop. Turning counting practice into a game with chance and movement keeps children engaged far longer than a static worksheet, while still reinforcing accurate counting and number sequence recognition along the path.
Time Worksheet: Observe Events and Find the Duration!
Children ages 4-6 practice an early concept of time and duration by reading about a series of daily events and calculating how long an activity lasted by adding up time spent. This introduces the idea that time can be measured and combined, a stepping stone toward reading clocks and understanding schedules later on.
Counting Fun: Count by 5 or 10 Worksheet for Preschoolers!
Counting objects arranged in groups of five or ten teaches children ages 4-6 skip counting, a faster strategy for finding a total than counting every single object one by one. This early efficiency strategy builds a foundation for later multiplication and for quickly estimating larger quantities.
Before and After Numbers Worksheet for Preschoolers
Knowing which number comes immediately before or after another is a core piece of number sense for children ages 4-6, building the mental number line they'll rely on for addition, subtraction, and later mental math. This worksheet ties that skill to counting sets of objects first, which grounds the abstract number sequence in something concrete and countable. Practicing both directions — before and after — also strengthens flexible thinking about number order rather than only counting forward by rote.
Word Problems Worksheet: Practice Subtraction with Fun Pictures!
This subtraction word problem worksheet gives children ages 4-6 practice translating a short story into a math equation, using pictures of objects being taken away to make the abstract idea of subtraction concrete. Reading, counting, and subtracting in sequence builds the same problem-solving pathway children will rely on for more advanced word problems later in school. Visual supports, like crossed-out or removed objects in the pictures, help children see subtraction as an action rather than just a symbol.
Addition Worksheet: Find and Write Equations!
Writing an addition equation from a picture — rather than solving one that's already written — asks children ages 4-6 to translate a visual quantity into mathematical symbols, a more demanding skill than simply computing a given sum. This worksheet has children count grouped objects, represent what they see as a written equation, and then solve it, connecting concrete counting to abstract number sentences. Practicing this translation step is exactly what builds true number sense, rather than just memorized addition facts.
Festive Math Fun: Counting and Addition Worksheet for Kids
Children ages 4-6 sharpen counting accuracy and practice basic addition using festive Christmas visuals, including a snowman scene where sums are recorded directly on its body. This worksheet also introduces subtraction-style thinking by having children count what remains after some objects are 'struck out,' giving an early, concrete preview of take-away math.
Measurement Worksheet: Matching and Measuring Objects!
This worksheet moves children from an intuitive sense of size toward the more formal skill of using a ruler to measure length in units, bridging estimation with actual measurement. For ages four to six, matching objects to an approximate number of units first, then confirming with a ruler, helps them see measurement as something they can predict and then verify rather than an arbitrary number.
Addition Worksheet: Adding Numbers with Fun Pictures!
This worksheet gives children ages 4-6 practice with simple addition by having them combine two groups of pictured objects and write the resulting total, reinforcing the core idea that addition means putting groups together to find 'how many in all.' Working from pictures rather than numbers alone helps bridge concrete counting to the more abstract number sentences children will encounter as their math skills progress.
Descending Order Worksheet: Numbers 1-100
Arranging numbers from largest to smallest requires children to compare multiple quantities at once and hold a mental number line firmly enough to reverse their usual forward-counting habit, making this noticeably more challenging than ascending order practice. For ages four to six working with numbers up to 100, this builds flexible number sense that supports later skills like rounding and estimating.
Tens and Ones Worksheet: Practice Place Value with Fun Elephants!
This worksheet has children break two-digit numbers into their tens and ones parts, then apply that understanding to simple addition and subtraction, a natural next step once place value clicks. For ages four to six, using the playful elephant images keeps a fairly abstract math concept approachable while still building the numerical foundation they'll rely on for years of arithmetic to come.
Word Problem Fun: Balloon and Mango Math Worksheet for Kids
Solving addition word problems featuring balloons and mangoes teaches children ages 4-6 to translate a short story into a number sentence, practicing both reading comprehension and basic addition in a playful, visual context.
Apples to Basket: Sorting Math Worksheet for Preschoolers
This worksheet combines basic addition and subtraction practice with sorting skills as children ages 4-6 solve a math problem written on each apple, then decide which basket it belongs in based on whether the answer is more or less than a target number. Categorizing numbers by size after calculating them adds a layer of number-sense reasoning beyond simply finding the right answer.
Alligator Comparison Worksheet: Greater Than, Less Than, and Equal To!
This worksheet teaches children ages 4-6 to compare two numbers using the 'hungry alligator' mnemonic, where the alligator's mouth always opens toward the larger number. Understanding greater than, less than, and equal to is an essential building block for later place value, ordering, and basic algebra concepts.
Ascending Order Worksheet: Fruit Fun!
Arranging numbers on groups of fruit from smallest to largest teaches children ages 4-6 to compare quantities and understand ascending order, a core numeracy skill that supports later work with number lines and place value.
Number Pattern Worksheet for Kids: Identify and Fill in the Blanks!
Identifying and continuing number patterns builds early algebraic thinking for children ages 4-6, teaching them to notice a repeated rule, like adding one or adding five, rather than treating each number as unrelated. This kind of pattern recognition strengthens number sense and lays groundwork for later skip-counting, multiplication, and even sequencing in non-math contexts.

How to use these worksheets at home or in class
Two short sheets a day, roughly fifteen to twenty minutes altogether, keeps a five-year-old moving without overload. Alternate an English page with a maths page so neither subject stalls, and let your child attempt the first few items before stepping in.
Start with the sheet that matches what your child can already do, then move one step up. Keep finished sheets in a folder: UKG teachers often ask for evidence of practice, and children like seeing their own progress.
Is your child ready for UKG maths work?
Before this stage a child should write most capital letters from memory, know the sound each letter makes, count objects accurately to twenty, and sit through a full worksheet without needing a break halfway through.
Frequently asked questions
How many maths worksheets should a five-year-old do in a week?
Three or four sheets of about ten minutes each, rotated across the strands: one counting or number-writing page, one addition or subtraction page, one on shapes, patterns or measuring. Keep objects on the table for anything below the number-only stage. When a page is completed correctly without finger counting, move that strand up a step and leave the others where they are.
