About This Free Missing Number Worksheet For Kindergarten
One page, one method — that is the whole of this free missing number worksheet for kindergarten. A name and date line runs across the top, a coloured title band names the activity, and one line of instructions sits beneath it. At Kidzolearn, every worksheet is 100% free to download and print — no login, no subscription, no payment required.
Twenty arched outline shapes in four rows of five, eight of them already numbered. The numbers run from one to twenty, with 2, 4, 6, 9, 12, 13, 16 and 19 printed.
Neither the first nor the last number is given on this sheet, unlike the apple version. A child has to work out where the sequence starts rather than being handed it, which makes this the harder of the two. Worth doing after the apple sheet rather than before. The task looks identical but the missing anchors change how much work it takes. For more early maths in the same style, see our lowercase letter tracing worksheets, and the full library sits on our free printable worksheets for kids.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Kidzolearn worksheets really free?
Yes! Every worksheet on Kidzolearn is 100% free — no subscription, no login and no payment required at any time. Simply click the download button, save the PDF and print it instantly at home or in the classroom.
At what age should children start using this missing number worksheet for kindergarten?
Around four is typical, but go by what your child can already do. If they count aloud to ten and can read the numerals when they see them, they are ready for this missing number worksheet for kindergarten. If the counting is there but the numerals are not, work on recognising the written digits first — the order is already known, it is the reading that is missing.
How does this worksheet help children learn number order?
Missing Number Worksheet For Kindergarten shows rows of arch-themed number cards from 1–20 with some numbers missing. Looking at the numbers before and after each blank, then writing the correct missing number, builds sequencing, pattern recognition and confident independent number writing — the three core skills behind strong early number sense.
Is number sequencing part of the official early years curriculum?
Yes — number sequence and order sit near the start of every early years maths curriculum, before any calculation is introduced. Knowing that eight comes after seven is what makes adding one meaningful rather than a rule to memorise, so our math worksheets for kindergarten build on the same number order in a different form.
Can I use these worksheet at home?
Absolutely! This worksheet is completely free to download and print at home. All you need is a printer and a pencil (or scissors and glue for cut-and-paste activities) — no cost, no sign-up and no login required. You can print it as many times as your child needs.
