Teen numbers practice 11-20

Math: We are practicing writing numbers 1-20. We are working specifically on tricky teens. Make sure your child is is writing 14 not 41;  15 not 51 etc.. Here is a chant that will help remember the order of writing the numbers.

1 and 1 make 11 fun,

1 and a 2 tell 12 what to do,

1 and a 3 tell 13 climb a tree,

1 and a 4 tell 14 shut the door,

1 and a 5 keep 15 alive,

1 and a 6 tell 16 pick up sticks,

1 and a 7 send 17 to heaven,

1 and a 8 makes 18 great,

1 and a 9 keep 19 in line

2 and a 0 makes 20 a hero!

We are also highlighting that:

  • 11 is one ten and 1 one
  • 12 is one ten and 2 ones
  • 13 is one ten and 3 ones
  • 14 is one ten and 4 ones
  • 15 is one ten and 5 ones
  • 16 is one ten and 6 ones
  • 17 is one ten and 7 ones
  • 18 is one ten and 8 ones
  • 19 is one ten and 9 ones
  • 20 is 2 tens or 10 and 10
