About this worksheet
A free printable number 5 tracing worksheet: trace a big dashed 5 with numbered start dots and arrows that show the stroke order, then trace rows of 5s on primary lines that fade from dark dashes to dots to start dots only, count and color 5 fish and trace the word "five". Little ones can do most of it with crayons, and a grown-up can read the short questions aloud. Say the number out loud each time you trace it.
On this sheet
row, count and color the pictures, and trace the word five. Count and color 5 fish. Trace the 5s, then write your own.
Tips for using it
- Trace the big number with a finger first, then color it in your favorite color.
- Count the pictures twice: once by pointing, once by coloring a dot on each one.
- Use real objects like coins or pasta to build the number before writing it.
- Say the strokes out loud while tracing, like "across and down" for 7 or "down, across, down" for 4.
