Learning Number Words

Number words are words that name numbers, like one, two, and three. Knowing number words helps us read, write, and talk about amounts in everyday life.

Examples:
  • One dog
  • Two cats
  • Three apples
Remember!

Number words show us "how many." They are used in reading, writing, math, and speaking.

Using Number Words in Sentences

We use number words to describe amounts. The number word usually comes before the noun it tells about.

Examples:
  • I have one toy.
  • She saw two birds.
  • We ate three cookies.
Tip

Practice by looking around you and counting objects. Then say the number with the object, like "four books" or "five chairs."

Learning Number Words up to 20

As we learn more numbers, it is important to recognize and read the number words from one to twenty. These words are often used in counting, stories, and daily activities.

Examples:
  • 1 = one
  • 2 = two
  • 3 = three
  • 4 = four
  • 5 = five
  • 6 = six
  • 7 = seven
  • 8 = eight
  • 9 = nine
  • 10 = ten
  • 11 = eleven
  • 12 = twelve
  • 13 = thirteen
  • 14 = fourteen
  • 15 = fifteen
  • 16 = sixteen
  • 17 = seventeen
  • 18 = eighteen
  • 19 = nineteen
  • 20 = twenty
Helpful Hint

Practice saying the numbers in order from one to twenty. Then try using the number words in short sentences, like β€œI have twelve crayons” or β€œWe see twenty stars.”

Sorting and Grouping by Number

Number words help us organize and group objects by counting them. This makes comparing amounts easier.

Examples:
  • Put all groups with two objects together.
  • Find the pile that has three toys.
Keep in Mind

When sorting, count each object carefully. The total number tells you which number word to use.

Recognizing Number Words in Books and Stories

Stories often use number words to give more detail. Paying attention to numbers makes the story clearer.

Examples:
  • Story: "The farmer had two cows." β€” The number tells us how many animals he had.
  • Story: "She baked three pies." β€” The number helps us picture the scene.
Final Thought

Number words help us count, compare, and describe. They are useful in reading, speaking, and everyday life.
