5 daily worksheets — Part of Place Value

About Year 2 Numbers to 20 Worksheets

Does your child truly understand numbers to 20? These free Year 2 numbers to 20 worksheets go beyond just counting. Your child will explore place value, partition numbers into tens and ones, and develop a deep understanding of how teen numbers are built.

Over five daily worksheets, your child will count and write numbers to 20 using ten frames, explore place value with tens and ones, count forwards and backwards, find numbers before and after, and partition numbers in multiple ways. Each worksheet includes hands-on visual activities and reasoning challenges.

Top Tip for Parents

Egg boxes make perfect ten frames! Cut a dozen-egg box to 10 spaces, and use small objects like buttons or pasta shapes as counters. Ask your child to show different numbers, then describe them: "13 is 1 full ten frame and 3 more." This hands-on play builds place value understanding beautifully.
