👩🏫 Teacher Instructions
In the Classroom
This pack is a compilation of several distinct number-practice formats rather than one consistent layout: object-counting trace grids (hearts, cars, apples matched to a traced numeral), a numeral maze, a number-to-word matching page, and — its most distinctive feature — pages showing the American Sign Language hand sign for the numbers one and two alongside the trace practice. This makes it a good supplement once your students already know the basics of numbers 1-10, since it extends to 12 and introduces a cross-representation (sign language) none of our other number worksheets include.

At Home
Because this pack mixes several formats, it works best split across a few short sessions rather than completed in one sitting — treat each section (the trace grids, the maze, the ASL pages, the word-matching page) as its own mini-activity. The ASL hand-sign pages are a fun, low-pressure way to introduce that numbers can be represented in more than one way, even without any deeper sign language study.
✅ What Successful Completion Looks Like
Not a Traditional "Answer Key"
Each numeral has one correct trace shape, one correct matching word, and the maze has a single correct path — all fixed by the print. Watch for a child skipping the ASL and word-matching pages because they feel less familiar than straightforward tracing; those two sections are exactly the parts that build flexible number sense beyond rote numeral writing, so they're worth the extra encouragement.
