If you’ve ever felt like your math block needs just a little something extra to help students build confidence with numbers and number recognition, you are not alone.
We spend so much of our math time in small groups, on the carpet, or at math centers using manipulatives, ten frames, and games—and while that hands-on practice is so important—sometimes your students just need a structured way to review and show what they know.
That’s exactly why I started using these Numbers to 20 Practice Pages in my classroom.
What’s Included on Each Number Page?
Each page gives your students multiple ways to interact with the number—helping them build number sense and recognize that numbers can be represented in more than one way. Here’s what your students will practice:
- Number Recognition and Representation
Students identify the numeral, number word, and matching hand signals. - Ten Frame Practice
Students fill in the ten frame with crayons or bingo daubers to represent the number. - Numeral Formation and Word Tracing
Students practice writing the numeral and tracing the number word. - Number Hunt
Students search for and color the number hidden in a group of numbers. - Tally Marks
Students group and count by 5s to represent the number with tally marks. - Student Choice Drawing
Students draw a picture to represent the number, giving them a chance to apply what they’ve learned in a creative way.
All of these activities work together to give your students meaningful practice with number recognition, counting, and numeral writing. They provide repeated opportunities to review these important skills. Best of all, students stay engaged while working on one simple, focused page. Whether they need extra support or just a chance to show what they know, these printables are easy to fit into your day.
