Match Numbers To Their Words Worksheet With Answers

Description

This is so common! Number words, especially the tricky teens and the spelling of “forty,” are a big challenge. This worksheet helps kids confidently read and recognize number words from “one” to “one hundred.”

Why Reading Number Words is a Must-Have Math Skill

This isn’t just writing practice—it builds:

• Word Problem Success: If kids can’t read “seven,” they can’t solve “John has seven apples.”
• Real-World Reading: From books (“Chapter twenty-one”) to signs (“Speed limit twenty-five”), number words are everywhere.
• Spelling and Phonics: Number words boost sight word knowledge and spelling patterns.
• Math Confidence: Kids feel more confident when they can read math problems easily.
• Level 1 (1-10): Simple matching to build confidence with basics.
• Level 2 (11-19): Focus on tricky teens like “twelve” and “fifteen,” plus a memory trick.
• Level 3 (20-100): Practice tens, especially “forty” (no ‘u’) and “fifty.”
• Bonus Decoder Wheel: A fun cut-and-paste game matching numbers to words.
