About this worksheet

Writing a number requires a child to connect three things at once: a quantity, the number word they hear, and the symbol their hand produces. A child may count twelve dots correctly but write 21, reverse a digit, or leave the answer blank because forming the number takes more effort than recognizing it. On this page every item is a ten frame with some dots in it, and the child writes how many. A full frame is ten, a second frame holds the teens, and an empty frame is zero, which every sheet includes once because zero is the number children most often forget to write.

The sheet runs from the smallest number to the biggest so the child can see the numbers grow. Watch whether your child recounts after writing; that quick check catches many reversals. Say the number, write it, then look at the frame once more.
