Number Tracing Worksheets
Number tracing worksheets serve as simple yet effective tools in introducing preschoolers to the world of numbers. These worksheets provide an engaging opportunity for young learners to familiarize themselves with number shapes by tracing over dotted lines that form each numeral. This activity can also help children work on improving their fine motor skills.
The benefits of number tracing worksheets extend beyond just motor skill development. As preschoolers trace, recognize, and repeat numbers, they begin to establish their understanding of numerical values. This repetitive and hands-on practice can also enhance their number recognition and retention, which can help make future learning experiences in mathematics less daunting.

Tips for Using Your Number Tracing Worksheets
Number Match Up
Ask your child to find the number of objects that are featured in each worksheets. For example, when they’re working on the number 6 tracing worksheet, challenge them to find 6 of the same object around your home, such as 6 spoons or 6 socks. This activity works best with Number Tracing Worksheets 1-20.
Numbers, Forward and Reverse
When your child masters identifying the numbers on their tracing sheets, work with them to arrange the sheets in numerical order. Move on to learning the numbers in backwards order next.
Add One More
Begin working on the concept of addition by showing your child one of their number tracing worksheets and asking them what number they would have if they added one more to the number on their worksheet. For example, show them the number 6 tracing worksheet and ask what number they would have if they added one more to six. It can be helpful to use objects to represent the numbers in this exercise. We recommend using Number Tracing Worksheets 1-20 for this activity.
