Number Sequencing

What is it

Colourful and fun worksheets to practise number sequencing from 1-20 in ascending and descending order 

Teaching Objectives

• Practise counting numbers forwards and backwards 

• Support pattern recognition and prediction skills (i.e. identifying missing numbers) 

• Encourage visual discrimination of numbers and sequences

• Provide early foundation for addition and subtraction concepts 

• Work on sustained attention and independence to complete worksheets

How to use

• Review counting from 1-20 with your child. 

• Let your child cut out the ice-cream scoops or help them with the cutting. to stack the numbers according to sequence.

• Use pages 6 to 9 to introduce the concept of filling in the sequence with the missing numbers. Move your child’s finger to each number and count together with your child if needed.

• For pages 12 and 13, your child has the opportunity to count backwards from 10-1 and 20-11.

• As the child progresses, he or she is ready to complete a mixture of forward and backward sequencing and counting!

Teaching tips

• Sing number songs and rhymes to make learning numbers fun and rhythmic, helping with memory and sequencing.

• Read number books together. Borrow simple number storybooks from the library. Identify different numbers and have the child trace the number on the book with their finger. 

• Play number-based games. E.g., “Find the Number” scavenger hunts or number bingo.

• Use songs and videos to make learning more fun and engaging!
