About This Free Before And After Numbers 11-20 Worksheet for Kids
This free before and after numbers 11-20 worksheet gives a single number-order task a full page to itself. 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 with the middle box numbered and both outer boxes empty. The numbers run from eleven to twenty.
The last sheet in the collection, and the one that asks for the most: two answers per row, in both directions, with teen numbers and no pictures to lean on. Everything earlier in the set builds towards it. If this page goes smoothly, number order to twenty is secure. That is the point at which addition and subtraction within twenty become reasonable next steps. For more early maths in the same style, see our free printable coloring pages, 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 before and after numbers 11-20 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?
Before And After Numbers 11-20 Worksheet shows box grids with one given number from 10–20 and two blank spaces — one before and one after. Working out and writing both missing numbers builds number order, two-directional counting 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 uppercase letter tracing 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.
