Number Tracing Practice Worksheet – EYFS / KS1 Number Formation (1–10)

This number-tracing worksheet provides structured handwriting practice for early learners developing confidence with number formation from 1 to 10. Each number is presented using dotted tracing lines and directional starting points, helping children understand correct formation while strengthening fine motor control and early maths fluency.

The first page of the worksheet focuses on numbers 1 to 5, offering repeated rows of clearly marked tracing numbers. Each numeral includes a starting dot and dotted outline, allowing pupils to follow the correct direction as they write. The second page continues with numbers 6 to 10, providing the same supportive layout for consistent, progressive practice.

This resource is ideal for Nursery, Reception (EYFS) and Year 1 learners who are building foundational number-writing skills. The handwriting lines help children position numbers accurately, supporting good pen grip, spacing and formation habits. The simple, uncluttered layout also makes the worksheet accessible for SEND and EAL pupils, who benefit from predictable structure and clear guidance.

The worksheet works well as part of daily maths lessons, handwriting sessions, morning work, early finisher tasks or small-group interventions. It can be printed or used digitally on iPads and platforms such as Showbie, making it a flexible tool for classroom and home learning.

Teachers value this resource for its clarity, ease of use and strong alignment with EYFS and KS1 number formation objectives. It provides just the right amount of repetition to build confidence while keeping learning focused and purposeful.
