About This Free Number Between Worksheet for Kids
This free number between 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.
Four rows of three plain boxes. The outer two boxes carry a number and the middle one is empty, for your child to write the number that comes between. The numbers run from one to ten.
The themed pictures disappear from here on and the boxes are plain. That is a real step up — a child who has been using the apples and pumpkins as a visual anchor now has only the numbers to work from. Between is the first idea in this set that needs both directions at once: count on from the left number and back from the right, and check the two answers agree. That is a genuine piece of reasoning rather than recall. For more early maths in the same style, see our sight words 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:
- Identify the two given numbers in each box from 1–10

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 between 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 Between Worksheet shows box grids with two given numbers from 1–10 and a blank space between them. Working out and writing the number that comes between each pair builds number order, counting accuracy and confident independent reasoning — 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 shapes worksheets for kids 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.
