Number 18 Worksheets for Preschool

By the time children get to preschool, most of them will be able to count up to 18, and some of them may reach quite a bit higher.

However, what many of them will not be able to do is to write numbers and count a specific number of objects.

They need to learn 1:1 correspondence and to have a system for counting where they count each object once and once only without missing any out.

The worksheets in this section will help children learn to recognise, count and match images showing 18 objects and the number 18.

The sheets are aimed at preschoolers and kindergarten age kids.

Using these sheets will help your child to:

• recognise number 18 in both figures and words;
• recognise images showing different representations of 18
• write the number 18 using tracing as a support
• color eighteen of different sets of objects

We hope using these number 18 worksheets for preschool will get your child off to a great start in their journey through math.

The worksheets have been divided into sections of different types of worksheets:

• Color the Number: where you have to color in 18 objects
• Color and Trace: where you have to color in 18 objects and practice writing the number 18 using the guides
• Number Tracing: where you have to write lines of the number 18 within the guides.
• Find the Number: where you have to practice finding the number 18 in figures in a grid of random numbers
• Number Grid Match: where you have to find and match the number 18 in figures, words and pictures

The worksheets in this section involve coloring the correct number of objects.

There are 2 versions of the worksheet.

• the first version (A) shows 18 cakes to color.
• the second version (B) has 18 out of 20 cakes and 18 out of 20 circles to color.

The worksheets in this section involve coloring the correct number of a objects/animals and writing the number by tracing along the dashed lines.

There are 3 versions of this activity: A, B and C which are in order of difficulty.

• the first sheet (A) shows 18 cakes to color in and there is only one line of numbers to trace
• the second sheet (B) shows 20 cakes of which 18 need to be shaded and one line of numbers to trace
• the 3rd sheet (C) is similar to the second sheet but has three lines of numbers to trace.

These worksheets involve tracing the number 18 using the guides and support provided.

You have to complete 5 lines of each number.

There are two versions:

• Sheet A involves tracing each number using the guides provided.
• Sheet B is more advanced and involves tracing the first number on each line using the guide provided and completing the rest of the line independently.

These 3 worksheets involve finding the number 18 in the number grids and counting how many times it occurs.

The worksheets get gradually harder with larger grids with smaller fonts and more occurrences of the number 18.

These two worksheets involve finding different representations of number 18.

The representations include words, figures, number of objects, and Ten and Ones.

The worksheets get gradually harder with larger grids with smaller fonts and pictures.

Each page contains lots of different activities with a focus on just one number.

Activities include: counting, coloring, tracing and matching
