About this resource
Description
Every number has a name, and reading those names is a big step for young mathematicians. This matching number names worksheet helps first graders connect a written numeral, like 19, to the word that names it, like nineteen. Children practice number words from zero to twenty, including the tricky teen numbers that look and sound so much like other number words.
In the first section, students draw a line from each numeral to its number name. In the second section, they read a numeral and circle the correct word from three look-alike choices, such as four, fourteen, and forty. This careful reading is exactly where children tend to mix up teen numbers and tens numbers. Use the sheet for independent practice, a quick math center, homework, or a short check after a lesson on number words.
What’s Included
- A one-page matching number names worksheet with two sections
- Four numeral-to-word matching items with a clear connect-the-dots layout
- Three circle-the-number-word items with look-alike choices
- A complete answer key on the second page
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids
First, it builds number sense by linking three ways to show a number: the numeral, the spoken word, and the written name. Second, the look-alike choices train children to read the whole word, not just the first few letters, which strengthens reading as well as math. Third, it prepares students to read word problems, where numbers are often written out as words instead of numerals.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Before starting, count aloud from zero to twenty together and point to each number word on a chart. After the worksheet, write a numeral on a sticky note and have your child find or write its name. You can also turn the matching section into a game by writing numerals and number words on cards and playing a quick memory match. This 1st grade number words worksheet pairs well with counting and number writing practice.
