About This Free Number Sequence Worksheet for Kids
This free number sequence worksheet fits one number-order activity onto a single printable page. 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.
Fifteen pentagons wind across the page in a curving path, with a pencil character at the start and a star at the end. Five pentagons carry a number. The numbers run from one to fifteen, with 2, 5, 8, 12 and 15 printed.
The path snakes rather than running in straight rows. Your child has to follow where it leads instead of reading left to right, which is harder than it looks and is the whole reason this sheet exists separately from the grids. Trace the path with a finger from the pencil to the star before writing anything. Knowing the route first makes the numbers straightforward; guessing the route makes them impossible. For more early maths in the same style, see our free alphabet tracing worksheets, and the full library sits on our free printable worksheets for kids.
What your child will learn from this worksheet
One page, one method, and several things being practised at the same time:

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 number sequence worksheet?
From about four years old. The check is whether your child can count aloud in order and match a spoken number to its written form. Saying one to ten is the easier half; recognising the digits on a page comes later, and both need to be in place before a missing-number page makes sense.
How does this worksheet help children learn number order?
Number Sequence Worksheet shows a circular chain of pentagon shapes numbered 1–15 with some numbers missing. Following the chain, working out the pattern and writing each 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?
It is. Ordering numbers and knowing the one before and the one after appear in early years frameworks across India, the UK, the US and Australia, always ahead of adding and taking away. A child who is unsure what follows seven cannot reliably add one to it, so our reading comprehension worksheets 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.
