Year 1 Maths: Convert from Digits to Words – Up to 20

Introduction

Hello, everyone! Today, we’re going to learn how to change numbers that we see (called digits) into words. This is important because sometimes we need to write numbers down in words, like when we are writing a birthday card or making a list. Let’s explore how to do this for numbers up to 20!

Understanding Digits and Words

A digit is a number from 0 to 9. When we put these digits together, we can make bigger numbers. For example, the digit “2” and the digit “0” together make the number 20.

Key Rules

1. Numbers 1 to 10: Each number has its own special word.
   • 1 = one
   • 2 = two
   • 3 = three
   • 4 = four
   • 5 = five
   • 6 = six
   • 7 = seven
   • 8 = eight
   • 9 = nine
   • 10 = ten
2. Numbers 11 to 20: These numbers also have unique words, and they are a little different.
   • 11 = eleven
   • 12 = twelve
   • 13 = thirteen
   • 14 = fourteen
   • 15 = fifteen
   • 16 = sixteen
   • 17 = seventeen
   • 18 = eighteen
   • 19 = nineteen
   • 20 = twenty

Tips and Tricks

• Rhymes can help! Try to think of a rhyme for each number. For example, “seven” sounds like “heaven.”
• Practice writing: Write the numbers down in words. This will help you remember them better.
• Use flashcards: Make cards with the number on one side and the word on the other. This is a fun way to learn!
