what comes before and after - Before And After Numbers 1-20

Product description

From the author

This ten-page PDF gives before-and-after number practice. Students write the neighboring numbers around targets from 1 to 19; answers include 0 and 20.

Model one step backward and one step forward on a number line, then use selected activities for class or home practice. These are number-sequence worksheets, not number-word tracing pages.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

Identify the number that comes immediately before a given number between 1 and 19.
Identify the number that comes immediately after a given number between 1 and 19.

Teaching tips

Rotate a page into morning work each day; because only the starting numbers change between pages, students can begin without new directions.
Use as homework or an early-finisher activity, since the format is simple and self-directed after one round of modeling.
Model that 0 comes before 1 and 20 comes after 19; supply a 0–20 number line when needed.

Skills covered

Number sequencing — students identify the numbers immediately before and after a given number across 10 pages.
Number recognition — students work with targets from 1 to 19 and neighboring answers from 0 to 20.
