About these numbers 11–20 worksheets

These number worksheets 1-20 pick up where numbers 1 to 10 leave off. Each number from 11 to 20 has four pages: trace the big number, color that many pictures, show it as 10 and some more in two ten frames, and find it among look-alike numbers.

The teen numbers are tricky because we say them backwards. We say "fourteen" with the four first, but write the 1 first. That is why so many children write 41 for 14. Every page set shows the number as one full ten and some ones, and the find pages put 41 next to 14 so children learn to look at the order of the digits.

The mixed pages cover all of 1 to 20: a numbers chart with ten frames, counting dots in ten frames, a number path to count along and trace, a number order track with a cut and paste page and a no-cut twin, and a 1 to 20 dot to dot. Every page is black and white, prints on US Letter or A4, and pages with one right answer have an answer key on page 2.

Standards

  • ELOF P-MATH 1Child knows number names and the count sequence.
  • ELOF P-MATH 3Child understands the relationship between numbers and quantities.
  • ELOF P-MATH 5Child associates a quantity with written numerals up to 5 and begins to write numbers.

How to use them

  1. Start with the Numbers 1–20 Chart. Count along it together, and point out that every number from 11 to 20 has one full ten frame.
  2. Work on one number at a time: trace it, color that many, make it in ten frames with a dot marker or counters, then find it.
  3. On the ten frame pages, dot the full frame first and say "ten". Then dot the rest and count on: "eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen."
  4. Use the number path and the dot to dot as quick counting practice, and the number order pages once your child can count to 20 aloud.

Teaching tips

  • Counting to 20 out loud usually comes before reading the numbers 11 to 20. Both grow with practice, so keep counting games going.
  • If a child writes 41 for 14, show both on the find page and ask, "Which one has the 1 first?" Then show 14 as one full ten and 4 more.
  • Counting out 15 or more objects is hard work for a preschooler. Counting in rows of 5, as the color pages are set out, helps them keep their place.
  • Keep it short. One page done well while talking it through is plenty.

Questions teachers and parents ask

Should preschoolers learn numbers 11 to 20?

Most preschoolers learn to count to 20 out loud, and many start to recognize the numbers 11 to 20 near the end of pre-K. Recognizing the numbers 1 to 10 comes first, so these pages are a good next step once those feel easy.

Why do children write 41 instead of 14?

We say the 4 first in "fourteen" but write the 1 first. Showing teen numbers as one full ten and some ones, as these pages do, helps children see why the 1 comes first.

Is there an answer key?

Yes. The find the number pages, counting to 20, the number order pages and the dot to dot have an answer key on page 2. Tracing and coloring pages do not need one.
