12 rungs. A star at the top.

Read the numeral: 12

How it is taught

0:00 of 2:06

Teen numbers use two digits.

Read the whole teen name.

Read it: Hear the word, write the numeral

Listen: six. The frame shows 6 counters, so we write 6.

  1. Listen to the number word: six.
  2. Count the counters: 6.
  3. Write the numeral: 6.

Each number word has its own numeral.

The counters show how many the word means, so you can count to check.

If you are not sure of the word, count: the count tells you the numeral.

Hear the word, count to check, write the numeral.

Writing 9 for six, because 6 turned over looks like 9.

Count the counters: 6. The 6 has its loop at the bottom.

Type the numeral for: nineteen. — 19. Nineteen is written 19.

Reading the number 14

Let's learn to read a special number — one of the teen numbers from eleven to twenty.

Look at this number. It has two digits side by side.

We read this number as: fourteen. Say it with me — four-teen!

The one in front is special. It stands for one whole group of ten.

The four next to it means four more ones.

Let's find fourteen on the number line.

Here it is. Fourteen sits right after thirteen, and right before fifteen.

Ten… plus four more… makes fourteen.

Great job! When you see one-four together, you read it as fourteen.
