In KS1 Maths, children learn to read and write number words and link them to digits. This quiz practises spotting words like one, two, three and matching them to 1, 2, 3 in everyday contexts.

  • Number word: The written word for a number, such as four.
  • Numeral: The digit or symbol for a number, such as 4.
  • Match: To pair a number word with the correct numeral.

Warm up first: play the Numeracy Game to order and compare numbers before starting the quiz.

How can I help my child learn number words in Year 1?

Use flashcards with a word on one card and the numeral on another. Mix and match, then read numbers in daily life like door numbers or bus routes.

What are common tricky number words for KS1?

Eight and eighteen are tricky because of the silent gh. Two can be confused with too and to. Practise saying and spelling them together.
