Number order for growing learners
This set gives young children gentle practice with the numbers that come before, after and between. Younger children can begin by reading two numbers and saying which comes next. Older preschoolers can fill in a missing number in a short sequence or write the number before and after a given number. Use numbers within 5 for a first try, then move towards 10 or higher when your child is ready. Clear spaces, large numerals and familiar counting pictures help children focus on the order of numbers.
Simple practice at home or in class
Give your child one worksheet at a time and read each instruction aloud before they begin. At home, use toy cars, blocks or pencils to make a line of objects, then ask which object is before, after or between another one. In class, children can work in pairs, with one child choosing a number and the other finding its place. A quick number-line game on the floor makes a useful warm-up. For extra number writing, link this set with the Number 1 Worksheets or another familiar number page.
Help with common mix-ups
Children often confuse before and after because the words depend on the direction of the number line. Keep a number line visible and move your finger from left to right while saying the sequence aloud. Some children also write the same number in both spaces, especially when they are still learning to count steadily. Ask them to count from one rather than guess, and let them touch each numeral as they speak. If a child is tired, cover part of the page and finish one small group of questions later.
Lumi's tips
- Make it easier by using counters or bottle caps to build the number sequence before your child writes an answer.
- Make it harder by asking your child to give the before, after or between number without looking at a number line.
- Keep it fun by asking number-order questions about turns in a queue, steps on stairs or pages in a book.

أسئلة يطرحها الأهل
What do before, after and between numbers mean?
The number before comes just earlier in the counting order, the number after comes just later, and the number between sits in the middle of two numbers.
What age can children start these worksheets?
Children can begin with simple number pairs around age 2 or 3 when they are learning to count. Use smaller numbers and read the questions aloud for early learners.
How can I teach before and after numbers?
Show a short number line and count forwards together. Point to one number, then ask your child to find the number just before or just after it.
What if my child keeps mixing up before and after?
Use one clear direction, such as moving from left to right, and repeat the counting sequence. Practise with objects in a line before returning to the worksheet.
How do I download and print these worksheets?
Download requires a free EarlyActivity account. Free accounts can download up to 20 printables a day, and the PDFs can be printed for use at home or in your own classroom.
