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 variety.

How to Teach Number Recognition:

NUMBER PRACTICE WORKSHEETS

NUMBER RECOGNITION ACTIVITIES ARE A KEY COMPONENT OF EARLY LEARNING PROGRAMS. WITHIN THE SKILL OF NAMING NUMBERS LIES COUNTING AND WRITING NUMBERS ALSO.

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 math printable number 16 tracing worksheets! Your students will get opportunities to explore the Number 16 in a variety of ways until they reach automaticity in recognizing/naming/writing/counting.

The free math worksheets 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 strong number sense, which is important later on when they solve problems that are more complex.

Take the learning beyond number formation by posing questions about numbers as you explore them.

  • What kinds of lines make number 16? (curved/straight/both)
  • Can you show 16 on your fingers? Why not?
  • Is sixteen greater than/less than 10? How do you know?
  • Get you spell out the number?
  • What is your favorite number? Why?
