How it works
- Pick your numbers: 0 to 5, 0 to 10, the teens, or any you choose.
- Choose a size and handwriting style. The sheet on the right updates as you go.
- Decide on tracing only, or trace then write with empty space at the end of each row.
- Download and print. All the numbers come out in one PDF.
Forming numbers the right way
Most numbers start at the top, just like letters. Children who start a 5 at the bottom or draw an 8 as two circles find numbers harder to write quickly later on. The start dot shows exactly where to put the pencil, and the arrow shows the first move. For 4 and 5, which take two strokes, the numbers 1 and 2 show the order.
Ideas for number practice
Count it, then write it
Before tracing a number, have children count out that many counters, blocks or claps. Writing a number means more when it stands for a quantity they just made.
Watch for reversals
Reversing 2, 3, 5, 7 and 9 is common and normal in K2. Extra practice with start dots on just those numbers helps.
Teen numbers
Say “ten and three more” for 13. The ten frame worksheets show the same idea in pictures.
In the MOE curriculum
- K1–K2The NEL Framework asks children to recognise and write numerals and to recognise number words.
- Motor skillsIts fine motor goals include pencil grip and eye–hand coordination.
- Primary 1Reading and writing numbers up to 100 in numerals and in words.
Number words matter in Singapore classrooms: P1 children write numbers in words as well as numerals, up to one hundred, so spelling “eight” and “twelve” correctly is part of the maths syllabus, not just English. The words beside each numeral on these sheets give an early start.
Ordinal numbers, from first to tenth, are in the P1 syllabus too. Once 1 to 10 are secure, line up ten toys and have children write 1st, 2nd and 3rd under the first few.
