How to use this worksheet
- Begin at the large dot 1, the tip of the tree.
- Go down the right-hand side: the branches step out and in from 2 to 6.
- Dots 7 to 10 draw the small trunk, and 11 to 15 climb the left side back toward the top.
- Close the tree with a line from 15 to 1.
What this worksheet teaches
Counting past ten is the new challenge: numbers 11 to 15 sit on the left side of the tree, far from where the child started, so they must search the page and read two-digit numerals. Each tier is a zigzag, a short line inward followed by a long slanted line outward, which trains the hand to change direction and stop precisely on a dot. The two halves of the tree mirror each other, so a child who notices the pattern can predict where the next number should be, an early taste of symmetry.
Play idea
Hang a garland from branch tip to branch tip across each tier, put a star on dot 1 and a present beside the trunk. Then play a quick number game: call out a number from 1 to 15 and let your child find and touch that dot as fast as they can.
