About This Free In-between Numbers Worksheet for Kids
One page, one method — that is the whole of this free in-between numbers worksheet. 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 outer two numbered and the middle empty. The numbers run from eleven to twenty.
The between task moved up into the teens. Nothing changes except the size of the numbers, which is the right way round — the format is already familiar by the time the harder numbers arrive. If your child is confident to ten but slower here, that is a teen number-name problem rather than a reasoning problem. The thinking is identical; only the vocabulary is newer. For more early maths in the same style, see our uppercase letter tracing worksheets, and the full library sits on our free printable worksheets for kids.
What your child will learn from this worksheet
By the time the page is finished, your child will have practised:
- Identify the two given numbers in each box from 10–20

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 in-between numbers worksheet?
Most children are ready from around age four, once they can count aloud to at least ten and recognise the written numerals. Those are two separate things — plenty of children can say the numbers in order long before they can pick the numeral 7 out of a line. This in-between numbers worksheet needs both.
How does this worksheet help children learn number order?
In-between Numbers Worksheet shows box grids with two given numbers from 10–20 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?
Yes. Counting in order, recognising numerals and knowing what comes before and after are all named in the early years curriculum. US standards cover them under counting and cardinality in Kindergarten, the UK Early Learning Goal for number expects children to count and order small sets, and Indian Nursery and LKG syllabi start in the same place. Number order comes before arithmetic in all of them, which is why our tracing lines worksheets for preschool 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.
