The bulk of Kindergarten math instruction is, simply, numbers! They are the foundation for everything else that comes next, right? Adding, subtracting, comparing, and more. But every preschool and kindergarten teacher knows that teaching “numbers” is anything but simple! It requires time, patience, repetition and a variety of number recognition activities.
I made the Free Printable Number 14 Worksheets for Tracing and Number Recognition to cover all of those bases with ease. The number tracing worksheets include all facets of the Number 14 from recognition and formation to counting and grouping. Now you can get out there and do the not-so-simple work of teaching!

How to Teach Number Recognition:
NUMBER PRACTICE WORKSHEETS
NUMBER RECOGNITION IS A KEY COMPONENT OF EARLY LEARNING PROGRAMS. THESE FREE WORKSHEETS HELP CHILDREN LEARN TO WRITE AND COUNT, TOO!
Number recognition is a loaded concept, in my opinion! We can’t just show students a flashcard with each number on it and, Boom!, they know their numbers.
“Knowing” a number means more than just recognizing the numeral. It means naming it effortlessly, picking it from a group of other numbers, counting to it, counting back from it, and matching it with the correct quantity.
Clearly, your students are going to need a bit of repetition and meaningful practice before they really master number writing, recognition, and counting.
That is why I love these printable number 14 tracing worksheets! Your students will get opportunities to explore the Number 14 in a variety of ways until they reach automaticity in recognizing/naming/writing/counting.
The number sense worksheet can be incorporated into your day in a “number” of ways!
- Morning work
- Math lesson
- Math center
- Homework
- Early finishers
In addition to learning to count, the free printable worksheets help children develop other pre-algebra math skills.
Take the learning beyond number formation by posing questions about numbers as you explore them.
- What kinds of lines make number 14? (curved/straight/both)
- Can you show 14 on your fingers? Why not?
- Is fourteen greater than/less than 10? How do you know?
- Are there groups of 14 in our classroom?

Why Is It Important For Kids To Learn Numbers?
Printable number worksheets give ample opportunities to explore different facets of each number. This is an important step on the journey toward solid number sense and the ability to move on to complex math skills required to solve word problems.
Develops Automaticity
When the process of identifying a 14 is time-consuming and laborious, it makes it difficult for a child to then move beyond and add 7+7 subtract 14-7. Repeated practice on math worksheets results in a number automaticity that is necessary later.
Enhances Handwriting
Writing numbers is difficult for children. Their pincer grasp is still developing and they are still learning writing vocabulary, like straight line, curved line, start at the top/middle/bottom. Every chance to practice writing numbers helps strengthen small muscles.
Improves Number Sense
Knowing that 14 is greater than 1, or less than 20, is an important piece of understanding numbers. As children learn to identify numbers on a number line in sequence, they begin to make important comparisons and understand quantity.
Teaches Grouping
Counting groups of objects or matching a number with a group helps kids begin to “subitize,” or be able to recognize small groups without actually counting each singular object. Subitizing is an important math skill because it takes away the labor of counting each group every time.
