Mathematics
This Grade 1 mathematics worksheet helps students count and compare whole numbers through 120. Across 14 questions, students identify numbers in least-to-greatest order, select the greatest or least number, find pairs of closest numbers, and continue counting sequences, including the transition from 119 to 120. The set includes 12 multiple-choice questions and 2 fill-in-the-blank questions, giving students practice with both recognition and number-sequence responses. Use this worksheet to reinforce number sense, counting fluency, and comparison skills after introducing numbers to 120. Students must attend to the order of numbers and the size of their differences rather than rely only on visual patterns. This free printable worksheet includes a complete answer key, making it useful for independent practice, classroom review, homework, or a quick check of Grade 1 understanding.

This Grade 1 worksheet practises counting forward through 120, ordering numbers from least to greatest, identifying the greatest and least numbers, and finding which pairs are closest. Its 14 items use 12 multiple-choice questions and 2 fill-in-the-blank counting prompts, including sequences that continue from 119 to 120. Completing these tasks builds number-sequence fluency and comparison skills with two- and three-digit numbers.
Introduce the worksheet with a number line or chart and have students count aloud before they solve the sequence items, especially the transition from 119 to 120. Then model how to compare numbers by looking at place value and how to find the closest pair by considering the distance between numbers. Use students’ explanations for items such as 74, 75, 76 to discuss why the numbers are in least-to-greatest order.
Students may choose the least number when a question asks for the greatest, or read an ordered set from greatest to least instead of least to greatest. They may also select a pair that looks similar without checking which two numbers have the smallest difference. Watch the fill-in-the-blank items closely for counting errors, including writing 119 or another familiar number instead of the number after 119, 120.
