Numbers & number words (11-20)

Before handing out the worksheet, briefly introduce the concept with a short oral warm-up or a visual model on the board. Encourage students to talk through their thinking as they work: "What strategy are you using? How do you know that is right?" After completing the worksheet, review any missed problems together and discuss the reasoning rather than just the answer. For extra support, let students use manipulatives or draw pictures alongside the written problems. These learning numbers worksheets work well as daily practice, homework, or a focused review activity.

These learning numbers worksheets for Kindergarten give students the structured, hands-on practice they need to build confidence and fluency. Students work through a range of problem formats, from visual models and diagrams to written equations and word problems, so they encounter learning numbers from every angle. Each worksheet is designed to build on prior knowledge while introducing the level of challenge appropriate for Kindergarten. Practicing learning numbers at this stage strengthens the mathematical foundations that support more advanced concepts in later grades.

"Numbers & number words (11-20) - Ice Cream" is written for Kindergarten (Ages 3-6), and it covers Common Core K.CC.A.3. If your little one is a year younger but already steady here, the page still works. You may just need to read the instructions out loud. And if they are older and learning numbers never quite stuck, this is a short review rather than busywork.

Yes, both. We made it for Kindergarten learning numbers, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.

Matching the number words for 11 to 20, so eleven and 11 are understood as the same thing said two ways. Number words appear constantly in word problems and story books, so recognizing them matters as much as recognizing the numerals.

The teens, without much competition. Eight becomes eighteen but four becomes fourteen and not fourteen with a u, and forty later drops the u entirely. Eleven and twelve follow no pattern at all. Expect these to take real practice rather than one session.

Matching a numeral to its word is well within reach for kindergarten, especially with a word bank on the page. Writing the words from memory is a first grade skill, so keep the word bank available for now.
