Free Printable Number Word Cards 1–100

This week, my older girls are learning to recognize and read number words.  My 5-year-old is learning the number words through the number 10 and my 7-year-old is learning the numbers words through 100.

Instead of handwriting several word card sets for my girls, I decided to make a printable set and share it with you too!

What’s Included in the Number Word Cards Set

This number word cards set includes the words for each number one through twenty, and number words thirty, forty, fifty, sixty, seventy, eighty, ninety, and hundred.

Also note that there are 3 different card sizes included in this number word card set.

One set is smaller for use at the table.  The other two sets are 3″ so they’ll fit in a standard pocket chart.  The larger sets are also great for putting on a word wall, stapling to the bulletin board, or hanging on the white board.

The number word cards are intentionally black and white to save on printer ink. If you would like a bit of color like I did, print them on colored card stock to brighten things up!

All Access Pass members can download this set of Number Word Cards in the All Access Pass area if you are a member.

How to Use Number Word Cards in Your Homeschool

We are using these cards in several different ways over the next couple of weeks.  Here are just a few suggestions for your own use in your homeschool or classroom.

• Read each card.
  I will make sure my children can actually read the number words. Some words follow spelling rules beautifully, such as ‘three’ or ‘ten.’ However, there are a few number words that are considered sight words such as ‘one’ or ‘two.’ They simply must be learned.
• Use counters to represent the number on the word card.
  Our favorite math blocks to use in the early elementary years are the Math-U-See Blocks, however, they are a bit pricey. There are cheaper place value blocks, but don’t have the set of singles like the Math-U-See set does.
  
  Our favorite counters have always been our animal counters and our bear counters. I cannot being to describe the many hours we have used both sets through the last 16 years of homeschooling!

• Use for Handwriting Practice.
  Choose several words to use as handwriting practice each day. This is a great activity whether your children are learning print or cursive.
• Use place value cards to demonstrate the number word.
  I have a set of free printable place value cards you can use to represent each number word. These are easy to print and use!
• Match the number card to the correct number word.
  I also have a set of free printable number cards that are easy to print and use. If your child would find this task challenging, set out only a few number cards at the time from which to choose.

Enjoy!
