Engaging Number Recognition Printables

Looking for number recognition worksheets that will engage your students? Students will love dotting their way through these mazes while practicing identifying numbers up to 20. These worksheets include three tasks:

• Students trace the target number at the top.
• Students identify and “dot” the circles with the target number to complete the maze.
• Students color the objects in the target number at the bottom.

Students can complete these mazes using bingo markers, crayons, colored pencils, or other tools. This resource includes dot maze worksheets and answer keys for the numbers 1 through 20.

What Age Is Appropriate For Number Recognition?

We all know that children develop at their own pace; however, here are some general guidelines:

• 2-3 Years: Some children may start to recognize and name a few numbers.
• 3-4 Years: Many children can recognize and name numbers up to 10.
• 4-5 Years: Children develop a more consistent ability to recognize and name numbers up to 20.
• 5-6 Years: With the help of their teachers, by the end of kindergarten students should be able to recognize and name numbers up to 20 with confidence.

So don’t be afraid to introduce numbers to students at a young age — chances are, they may already have had some natural exposure to numbers!
