5-day set · Numbers to 5
Count, color, show and trace the numbers 1 to 5, one sheet a day. Each day has one worksheet, a little harder than the day before, and one short activity with no printing.
- 7 pages — the week plan, 5 sheets, answer keys
- Color PDF
- Free, no sign-up
The first page is the plan for the week, with a box to tick each day. Every sheet also has its own page on the site, in color or black & white.

How to use the set
Print the whole PDF on Monday, or one sheet each morning. Keep each session short and stop while the child still enjoys it. If a day feels too hard, stay on the day before for a while: the guide How to teach counting to 10 explains each step and what to do when it goes wrong.
