Number Tracing 11 to 20

How to play

1. Look at the number on the page and say its name out loud, for example "one, five - fifteen".
2. Place the pencil or finger on the starting dot and trace along the dotted line without lifting your hand.
3. Trace each number in the row, going from 11 up to 20 in order.
4. Check your work, then count out loud from 11 to 20 and try the next number.

Tracing numbers 11 to 20 gives children much more than neat writing. Your child practises pencil grip, hand strength and left-to-right movement, all of which support reading and writing later. Teen numbers also introduce an important maths idea: each one is made of a ten and some ones, so 14 is simply ten and four. Saying the number name while tracing links the shape, the word and the quantity together. Keep sessions short and cheerful, about five to ten minutes, and praise effort rather than perfect lines. Repeating the same sheet over a few days builds confidence and steady, independent writing.
