By now, your kids, most likely in kindergarten, will be counting already. They will just be entering the big kid world of pens and paper...

Numbers will already be beginning to make sense to them. Now we are just deepening those connections.

The journey of saying 9, hearing 9, connecting the sound 9 with the written 9, is a gradual one.

It's full of realisations and re-realisations. As the various parts become more and more to make sense to the child, understanding and use comes into being gradually.

All our worksheets are designed by a children's illustrator and a teacher...they're all free because we're committed to closing the unfair gaps in children's education.

As kids pick up on the use of numbers in the real world they will want to show you what they're learning and what they now understand.

No doubt, it will be an exciting moment for them!

If you're using the worksheet at home how about letting them choose when they're ready to show you? Or how about a prize for effort or patience rather than success or perfection?

We know children like to show parents and older siblings their work and how they are growing up and are just like their brothers and sisters. We've designed our printables with this in mind... rather than a quick throw away something that can mark the occasion... something for them to be proud of and to treasure.
