Number words worksheets — write numbers in words

Writing numbers in words joins maths and spelling, and it is needed for real life: cheques, forms and word problems all use it. Each sheet mixes two kinds of question — write the number in words, and read the words to write the digits — so children both spell and understand the number names. Switch the language and the sheet is rebuilt in French, Spanish or Arabic, with the right rules for each one.

🔤 Best for ages 6–10

How to get the most from these sheets

• Start with 0–20: these names must be learnt by heart, since they do not follow a rule.
• From 21, show the rule: tens word, hyphen, units word (forty-seven).
• Say each number aloud before writing it: spelling follows the spoken name.
• Keep a small list of the tens words (twenty, thirty, forty…) next to the sheet.
