Four rows. In the middle of each sits a big numeral from two to five, with a box on the left for one less and a box on the right for one more.
Done — the sheet is in your downloads
In the print dialog choose actual size (100 %) and black and white. Add a thick triangular crayon.
Why is this sheet for ages 4–5?
The neighbour on the left and on the right: the child learns to move both ways along the number line.
- Range 2–5, so both answers stay within five.
- Arrows show which side takes less and which takes more.
- No pictures to count – this one works with the number line alone.
💬 Tip for parents
If the child hesitates, have them say the row from one and stop at the middle numeral; the number they said just before is one less. Counting down is harder than counting up, so help with the left-hand box. Answers out loud first, writing after that.
