This medium worksheet gives kindergartners more counting variety as they work toward fluent counting to 20. Part A is a nine-question fill-in-the-blank set that asks for the number between 10 and 12, the number after 16, the missing number in 13, ___, 15, and a quick count backward from 12. Children also fill the gap in 17, 18, ___, 20 to practice the trickiest end of the sequence.
Part B is a four-pair matching activity that links phrases like Comes after 14 and Comes before 17 to numbers such as 15, 9, 20, and 16. Switching between writing and matching keeps young learners thinking about order in fresh ways and strengthens the number sense they will lean on in first grade.
