Korean numbers: printable chart and worksheets

The 1 to 100 chart in both systems as a PDF, and a fresh worksheet in Sino-Korean or native Korean, answer key separate.

Korean numbers worksheet generator

A new set of numbers each time, weighted toward the ones learners miss (십, 백, 만, 십육, 마흔). Answer key as its own file.

The figure is printed; the student writes the number in Hangul in the system you picked.

No signup and no watermark. Sino-Korean sheets print spaced by 만-group (이만 삼천); the key accepts the solid form too.

What the generator makes

Five kinds of sheet: figure to Hangul, Hangul to figure, matching pairs, counting runs with gaps, and a mixed review that ends with two runs. Each sheet comes from a seed, so the same link rebuilds the same sheet. There is a pupils’ PDF, an answer key PDF, a print button for each, text and CSV exports of the number pairs, and a plain Google Classroom share link.

The draw leans toward the places Korean numbers catch learners out. In Sino-Korean: 십, 백, 천 and 만 with no 일 in front, the silent zero in 백일 (101), and the step from 구천 to 만 and from 구만 to 십만. In native Korean: every ten has its own word (스물, 서른, 마흔, 쉰), and 여덟 keeps its double final consonant. At 1 to 100 every sheet also reaches every decade.

Spacing and accepted forms. Sino-Korean answers are printed spaced by 만 (이만 삼천), with the solid form (이만삼천) beside them on the key. For 0 the key accepts 공 as well as 영. Native sheets use the counting forms (하나, 둘, 셋, 넷, 스물), not the shortened forms used before a counter.

Questions teachers and learners ask

What is on the 1 to 100 chart?

One A4 page with every number from 1 to 100 as a figure, in Sino-Korean, and in native Korean up to 99, each followed by its Revised Romanization. The tens are picked out in colour, because that is where the two systems look least alike: 이십 and 스물 are both 20. Four short notes at the foot say which system goes with which job.

Which number system do the worksheets use?

The one you pick in the Number system box. Sino-Korean sheets run from 0 to 1,000,000. Native Korean sheets run from 1 to 99, because the native system stops there: from 100 Korean counts in Sino-Korean. Each native sheet prints that limit in its heading line, so a pupil is not left wondering why the numbers end at 아흔아홉.

How are large numbers spaced on the sheets?

By 만, the unit of ten thousand, as the Korean spelling rules set out in 한글 맞춤법 제44항: 23,456 prints as 이만 삼천사백오십육. Many Koreans write the same number without the space, so the answer key lists the solid form beside every spaced answer and either can be marked right. A bare 10,000 prints as 만, with 일만 accepted.

Are the answers on the pupils’ sheet?

No. The pupils’ PDF and the printed sheet carry the questions only, so you can hand them out or attach them to a Google Classroom or Teams assignment. The key is its own PDF and its own print, with each prompt beside its answer so it can be marked from the key alone.

Can I put my school or class name on the sheet?

Yes. Type it in the School or class box and it prints at the top of every page of the sheet and of the key. It changes none of the numbers. It prints in English or in Hangul; the embedded font carries the 2,350 syllables of the standard Korean character set, which covers the names of schools, classes and places.

How do you know the answer key is right?

Every number the generator can print is read by the site’s engine and then worked out a second time by a separate program, written first and built a different way: it spells each word in jamo and assembles the syllables by formula. The two agree on all 5,000,776 checks, covering both systems and the romanization. The method and the sources are on the checking page.
