Number tracing worksheets 1–10

Numbers 1 to 10 to trace, one per page. A large model shows where to start (the dot) and which way to go (the arrow), next to the same number of pictures to count.

The pictures to count and color keep the numeral tied to an amount. Then come three rows: trace, trace and try, and a row with start dots only.

Numbers 1–5 are for ages 4–5 and have bigger rows; numbers 6–10 are for ages 5–6. Each age band also has a review sheet with all its numbers on one page. Have your child trace the model with a finger and say the number out loud before picking up a crayon.

Questions parents ask

When should we start tracing numbers?

When the child counts a handful of objects without help and can draw a line down, a circle and a slanted line. As a rough guide that is between four and five. Before that, counting out loud and pointing is enough.

My child writes numbers backwards. Is that a problem?

Reversals are common before and during kindergarten, especially 3, 7 and 9. Don't cross them out. Show the model, trace it together with a finger and try again. If reversals are still frequent well into first grade, mention it to the teacher.

Why does the 1 have no flag and the 7 no bar?

The sheets use the plain forms taught in most US handwriting programs: 1 is a single line down, 4 is open at the top, 7 has no bar.
