Preschool Number 9 worksheets

About this worksheet

This page is all about the number nine. A child traces the numeral 9 first, so the hand learns the shape, and then counts groups of pictures and circles the number that tells how many. Some groups hold nine, and some hold one fewer or one more, so every group has to be counted and the number on the page cannot simply be copied. The pictures change from row to row and so does the way they are arranged: in a line, in rows, scattered or in a ring. That matters, because a child who has really learned nine knows it whatever the pictures look like and wherever they sit.

Say each number word as a finger touches a picture, and say it aloud again when you reach the last one: that last number is how many there are. Count nine stairs, or nine stones on a path, and stop at nine. Learning one number at a time is slower than a long counting sheet, but it gives a young child time to feel how big nine is.
