Number 18 Tracing Worksheet – Learn to Write and Count

Count in pairs with the number 18!
This worksheet introduces children to the number eighteen with a large cherry illustration at the top of the page, making early math feel friendly and inviting. Teen numbers can be tricky for young learners, so a clean layout paired with a simple visual theme helps build confidence and understanding.

Children begin by tracing the digits 18 using dotted lines that support early handwriting skills. They then trace the number word “eighteen”, which helps connect the spelling of the word to the numeral. Practicing both formats encourages stronger recognition, builds early literacy foundations, and reinforces the structure of larger numbers.

At the bottom of the page, kids find 18 small cherries arranged neatly for easy counting. They are asked to color all 18 cherries, giving them a fun, hands-on way to reinforce the meaning of the number. Coloring helps children practice one-to-one correspondence and improves visual–numerical connection.
