Year 1 Maths: Write Words Given Digits – Up to 20

Introduction to Writing Numbers in Words

Hello, everyone! Today, we are going to learn how to write numbers in words. This means that when you see a number, you can say it out loud using words instead of just digits. For example, if you see the number 5, you can write it as five.

Understanding Numbers Up to 20

We will focus on numbers from 1 to 20. Here are some examples:

• The number 1 is written as one.
• The number 2 is written as two.
• The number 10 is written as ten.
• The number 20 is written as twenty.

Key Rules

1. Know the Numbers: Familiarise yourself with the numbers from 1 to 20 and how they are written in words.
2. Practice: The more you practice writing numbers in words, the easier it will be.
3. Use a Chart: It can help to have a chart of numbers and their words next to you when you’re learning.

Helpful Tips and Tricks

• Group the Numbers: You can remember numbers by grouping them. For example, 1-10 are basic numbers, and 11-20 are a bit different.
• Rhymes and Songs: Try to find songs or rhymes that can help you remember the number words better.
• Flashcards: Create flashcards with the number on one side and the word on the other side. This can be a fun way to learn!
