About this resource
Description
Number words are the written names of numbers, like seven, twelve and twenty. This number words to 20 activity helps kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grade children read the number words from one to twenty and match each one to its numeral. Reading number words helps children understand numbers in stories, word problems and directions.
Children cut out 20 cheese cards with numerals and 20 mouse cards with number words. They lay the cheese cards in order, read each mouse card and feed the mouse the cheese with the same number. The mouse cards are mixed up, so children must read every word. A practice page then asks children to write eight number words from a word box.
What’s Included
- A How to Use page with simple steps, materials and prep tips
- 20 cheese numeral cards for the numbers 1 to 20
- 20 mouse number word cards from one to twenty
- A 1st grade practice worksheet with a word box and eight numbers
- An answer key for every match and the practice page
Why Number Word Matching Helps Kids Learn
First, matching a word to a numeral connects the way a number looks to the way it is written. Second, the teen words like fourteen and seventeen get extra practice, which is where many children get stuck. Third, the cheese and mouse cards turn reading practice into a fun feeding game that children want to play again.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Start with the cards from one to ten, then add the teen numbers when children are ready. Turn the cards face down for a memory game, or time a match and try to beat it. This kindergarten number words activity also works as a quick review for first and second graders. Pair the number words to 20 activity with the resources below for more number practice.
