Preschool Number Worksheets -Worksheets Library - Free Printable

This worksheet is designed to help children learn and practice the number 1 (one) through various activities. Let's go step by step to understand and solve the tasks.

🔹 Top Section: Number Recognition

- On the left: The word "one" is written in large letters, with a vertical line (I) above it.
- On the right: There’s a ladder image with three circles beside it labeled 7, 2, 1.
- This seems to be asking the child to identify which number matches the quantity shown.
- The ladder has 1 rung visible (or perhaps just one section), but actually, it appears to have 3 steps, so this might be a mistake or misinterpretation.

Wait — let’s look more carefully.

Actually, the ladder has three steps, so it represents the number 3, not 1.

But the numbers next to it are 7, 2, 1 — and we're supposed to circle the correct number that matches the picture.

So if the ladder has 3 steps, then the correct answer should be 3, but 3 is not listed among those options.

Wait — this could be an error in the interpretation.

Alternatively, maybe the ladder is meant to represent 1 as in "one ladder", not counting its steps.

But that would be ambiguous.

Let’s look at the next section for clues.

🔹 Middle Section: Counting Elephants

Below the ladder, there is a row of elephants.

Count them:

- There are 10 elephants in a row.

But wait — the task here may be related to the number 1.

Look at the left side: There is a large vertical bar (|) and the number 1 is implied.

Then below, there is a grid with numbers in circles:
```
7 2 1
3 1 4
1 8 5
11 1 6
```

And a box with:
`0 □ 2 3`

So the instruction might be to circle the number 1 from the grid, and fill in the missing number in the sequence `0 □ 2 3`.

Let’s analyze:

🔹 Task 1: Circle the number 1

In the grid of numbers, find all instances of the number 1 and circle them.

From the grid:
- Row 1: 7, 2, 1
- Row 2: 3, 1, 4
- Row 3: 1, 8, 5
- Row 4: 11, 1, 6

So the number 1 appears four times.

✔ Instruction: Circle each 1 in the grid.

---

🔹 Task 2: Fill in the blank in the sequence

The sequence is:
`0 □ 2 3`

What comes after 0? Then 2, then 3.

That suggests the missing number is 1, because:
`0 → 1 → 2 → 3`

So the missing number is 1.

✔ Answer: Write 1 in the blank square.

---

🔹 Task 3: Trace the word "one"

At the bottom, the word "one" is written in dotted lines with numbered arrows.

- Arrow 1 → 2 shows how to trace the letter o.
- Then n and e follow with tracing guides.

✔ Instruction: Trace over the dotted letters to practice writing "one".

---

🔹 Task 4: Match the number to the picture

Back to the top right: a ladder and numbers 7, 2, 1.

We need to determine what number the ladder represents.

But the ladder has 3 steps.

Wait — but the options are only 7, 2, 1 — none of which is 3.

So either:
- It’s a typo.
- Or the ladder is meant to represent 1 ladder, not steps.

But that would be confusing.

Alternatively, maybe the ladder is a visual aid for number 1, like “one ladder”.

But again, it has multiple steps.

Looking back — perhaps the ladder is meant to show one object, not count its parts.

So even though it has 3 steps, it's one ladder.

So the correct number to choose is 1.

✔ So the child should circle the number 1 among the options (7, 2, 1).

---

✔ Final Answers & Instructions:

1. Circle the number 1 in the grid (there are four 1s).
2. Fill in the blank in `0 □ 2 3` with 1.
3. Trace the word "one" using the dotted lines.
4. Circle the number 1 next to the ladder (since it's "one ladder").

🎯 Summary of What to Do:

| Task | Action |
|------|--------|
| Grid of numbers | Circle every 1 |
| Sequence `0 □ 2 3` | Write 1 in the box |
| Ladder | Circle 1 from {7, 2, 1} |
| Word "one" | Trace the dotted letters |

---

✔ Solution:

- Circled numbers: All instances of 1 in the grid.
- Missing number: 1 in `0 □ 2 3`.
- Ladder: Choose 1.
- Tracing: Follow the arrows to trace "one".

This worksheet reinforces number recognition, counting, sequencing, and handwriting skills for the number 1.
