About This Worksheet
2 and 3 both start with a curve at the top, which makes them easy to reverse. Practising them on separate pages first, then together, helps your child learn which way each curve faces.
Page 1 practises 3, page 2 practises 2, and page 3 mixes 2 and 3 in one row. Each row starts with a model number on a maths block grid.
Skills Your Child Practises
- Writing 2 and 3
- Curved stroke control
- Telling apart two similar curved numbers
- Neat sizing within grid boxes
How to Use This Worksheet
- Trace 2 and 3 in the air with your child before writing on paper.
- Complete the single-number pages before the mixed page.
- Check that curves face the same way as the model.
- Say each number aloud as your child writes it.
- Move to Week 8 when both numbers are written without reversing.
What’s Next?
Move on to Week 8 – Numbers 5, 2, 3 and 4, which adds the number 5.

Frequently Asked Questions
My child reverses 3 sometimes. Is that normal?
Yes, reversing 2 and 3 is very common at this age and usually fades with practice. Point to the model and trace it together.
Why are 2 and 3 taught together?
Both start with a curve at the top. Practising them side by side helps your child notice how they differ.
Should we do all 3 pages in one go?
One page per sitting is enough for most children.
What comes after Week 7?
Week 8 adds the number 5 and reviews 2, 3 and 4.
