What children practise
This set gives young learners several ways to meet the number 20. Children can look for the numeral, trace its shape, count groups of objects and connect a quantity with the written number. Simpler activities suit children who are beginning to count and recognise numerals. Older children can practise writing 20 independently, count forwards to 20 and compare groups. Use these number 20 worksheets after your child has had some practice with smaller numbers, such as Number 1 Worksheets and Number 2 Worksheets.
Simple ways to use the pages
At home, begin with a short counting activity using buttons, blocks or pencils, then let your child complete one worksheet. Ask your child to touch each picture while counting so that one number matches one object. In class, place the pages at a maths centre with crayons and counters. Children can work with a partner, take turns counting a group and check the answer together. Keep the session short for younger children. Older children can complete a page, then draw their own group of 20 objects beside it.
Helping with counting to 20
Children may count an object twice, skip an object or say the numbers in the wrong order. Move objects into a line or a ten-frame so each item is easy to see. If your child loses track, ask them to touch or move each object as they say the next number. The number 20 can also be confused with 2, especially when children are still learning place value. Say, "two tens make twenty" and build two groups of ten with counters. When tracing, remind your child to start at the marked point and form the 2 before the 0.
Lumi's tips
- Make it easier by covering some pictures and asking your child to count a smaller group before working with all 20.
- Make it harder by asking your child to write the number before tracing it and then count backwards from 20.
- Keep it meaningful by counting 20 everyday items, such as spoons, steps or toy blocks, after the worksheet.

Questions parents ask
What do children learn from number 20 worksheets?
They practise recognising, tracing, writing and counting the number 20. Many activities also connect the numeral 20 with a group of 20 objects.
Are these number 20 worksheets suitable for a 3-year-old?
Some simpler pages are suitable for a 3-year-old with adult support, especially counting, colouring and number recognition tasks. Writing activities may suit older children who are ready for pencil practice.
How can I teach my child to count to 20?
Count real objects slowly and move each object once as you say a number. Break the set into two groups of ten to help your child see how 20 is made.
Can I download and print these worksheets at home?
Yes. Most EarlyActivity printables are free to download with a free account. The files are PDFs for A4 and US Letter paper, and you can print them at home or in your own classroom.
How can I help a child who writes 20 backwards?
Use a large model and guide your child through the order: make the 2 first, then the 0. Let them trace it several times before asking them to copy it without help.
