Suggested Order: Where Each Worksheet Fits

  2. Recognise numerals 1–10 – circle, match and find the number.
  3. Pencil control – Week 0 pattern tracing before numbers.
  4. Trace 0–10 – correct starting point and direction for each number.
  5. Write on their own – Weeks 1–11 of the writing series.
  6. Numbers 11–20 – count and recognise the teen numbers.
  7. Check – a math assessment for your child’s age before moving on.

Why Early Math Practice Matters

Research on school readiness has found that early number skills at the start of school are one of the strongest signs of how well children do later, in maths and beyond. Everyday number play at home, like counting stairs, sharing snacks or spotting numbers on signs, makes a real difference. Short, regular sessions of 10 to 15 minutes work better than long ones.
