What's included in the Mathias worksheet

Letters to trace: 7; Capital M + 6 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #312; Boys' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: steady; Diagonal strokes in M

Mathias sits in the middle of the range — from the capital “M” on, most of its 7 letters are shapes a beginner already knows, and the rest are the ones worth slowing down for. The diagonal strokes in “M” are the trickiest part — slanted lines are usually the last strokes young writers control, so expect extra passes there. Remind your child to finish “i” with the dot — dots and crosses are added last, after the letter body. The tall letters “t” and “h” reach the top guide line — a common slip is stopping them at the height of the small letters instead. Because Mathias was the #312 boys' name of 2025, a ready-made Mathias tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

Forming the letters of Mathias, one at a time:

M — A big line down, then from the top: slant down to the baseline, slant back up, and one more big line down.
a — Curve round like a c, close the circle, then a short line down its right side. Mathias uses it twice.
t — A tallish line down that curves gently at the bottom, crossed with a short bar at the midline rather than the top.
h — A tall line down, then trace back up halfway and over the hump to the baseline.
i — A short line from the midline down to the baseline, then a dot floated above it — body first, dot last.
s — The same snake drawn half-size between the midline and the baseline.

Watch the skyline of Mathias: “M”, “t” and “h” reach the top guide line, three tall letters out of 7. The rest are small letters with nothing hanging below the baseline — only the floating dot on “i” sits above the letter body.

At seven letters, Mathias is on the long side — only 206 of the 1,918 names here run longer. Popularity-wise it lands in the broad middle of the 2025 boys' list, still ahead of 658 of the 965 boys' names here.

Mathias was the #312 boys' name in the U.S. for 2025, per the Social Security Administration's public-domain baby-names data. One page is all it takes: three-line handwriting guides with a descender line below them, sized for US Letter and printing cleanly on A4.

Tips for tracing Mathias

Warm up on the slanted strokes in “M” before the full name — diagonals are the lines young writers master last, and five lone tries first make the whole of Mathias feel easier.
At 7 letters, Mathias is a lot to take in one pass — cover the first 4 letters in one session and the remainder in the next before joining them up.
Save the dot on “i” for last: letter body first, then lift the pencil and dot it.
Call out “tall, small, tall, tall, small, small, small” as the pencil moves — naming each letter's height is the quickest fix for uneven sizing in Mathias.
Close with a single unguided Mathias on scrap paper. Tracing teaches the movement; writing it from memory makes it stick.

Customization options

Font style

Choose dotted outlines while your child is still learning where each stroke goes, and switch to solid light-gray once tracing gets confident — writing over the full letterform is the bridge to copying. The first row always shows Mathias solid and dark.

Letter size

Pick from three letter sizes. A longer name like Mathias keeps all 7 letters on one line at medium or small; on large, use the lines for a few letters at a time instead.

Number of practice lines

Set 1 to 12 practice lines below the example row. Fewer, larger lines for beginners; more, smaller lines for daily practice sheets.
