For teachersWhat does a Pre-K child learn?
Counting to 10, patterns, letters, shadows, mazes. Every skill has an explanation, tips for grown-ups and a sample worksheet — tap one to make a fresh worksheet for your child’s age, with an answer key.
Ages 4–5 (Pre-K): what to practice
Pre-K children can handle a few more steps: spotting patterns, sorting by more than one feature, counting to 10 and meeting letters and their sounds in a playful way.
Focus areas
- Counting to 10 and comparing groups
- Patterns and sorting
- Mazes, shadows and spot-the-difference
- Letter names, first sounds and tracing

Math14 skills
CountingCount objects correctly and connect numbers to quantities.Compare groupsTell which group has more or fewer by counting or matching one-to-one.Match numbers to groupsConnect a group of objects with its numeral.Number bondsUnderstand that a number is made of two parts — the foundation of addition and subtraction.Add & subtractAddition and subtraction at the right range for each age — from pictures to mental math.Number orderNumber order, one more / one less, and skip counting by 2s, 5s and 10s.ShapesRecognize, name and count circles, squares, triangles and rectangles.BreadcrumbLeft, right, middle, top and bottom — from the child’s point of view.Number tracingTrace the dotted numbers, then write the numbers 0–9 on your own.Balance scalesCompare heavy and light; understand that “=” means both sides balance.Color by numberRead numbers, do quick math and follow directions — color correctly to reveal a picture.Counting cubesCount cubes in a tower, including hidden ones, and picture the front view — builds spatial thinking.AdditionAddition within the range you choose (5, 10, 20, 50, 100) in about 30 formats: number sentences, missing numbers, vertical, pictures, cars, robots, number pyramids…SubtractionSubtraction within the range you choose in about 30 formats: number sentences, missing numbers, vertical, cross-out pictures, number lines, caterpillars…
Reading & Phonics8 skills
Letter recognitionRecognize all 26 letters, tell look-alike letters apart, and match uppercase with lowercase.Alphabet orderKnow the order of the 26 letters: fill in missing letters and find the letter that comes next.HandwritingTrace pre-writing strokes, then letters and short words on four-line handwriting paper.Letter soundsHear the first and last sounds in words and connect each sound to its letter.SyllablesClap the parts of a word and count its syllables — a key pre-reading skill.Rhyming & word familiesHear rhymes, and read words that belong to the same word family (cat, hat, mat).Sight wordsRecognize common sight words (the, and, said…) quickly and use them in sentences.Color & number wordsRead color words and number words, and build vocabulary by listening and finding pictures.
Logic8 skills
PatternsSpot and continue repeating patterns of pictures and colors.Odd one outSort by what things have in common and explain why one doesn’t belong.SortingFind everything that belongs to the same group.MazesPlan a path and build fine-motor control while drawing it.Copy on a dot gridConnect dots to copy a shape and draw the other half of a symmetrical shape — builds spatial skills and pencil control.Shapes in picturesCount circles, squares, triangles and rectangles in shape pictures, overlapping shapes and stacked triangles — observation and geometry thinking.ReasoningCompare in steps, line-up puzzles, number riddles and balancing both sides.Visual thinkingFind a friend, patterns, missing pieces, directions, sequences, what’s missing, rotations and balance puzzles.
Observation4 skills
Shadow matchLook at the overall outline and match each picture to its shadow.Exactly the sameCompare details and order to find the row that matches the sample.Big and smallCompare sizes: biggest and smallest.Spot the differenceCompare two pictures and find what’s different — builds focus and careful looking.
