Writing Numbers 11-16 Worksheet: Trace, Write & Count!

How to use this worksheet

Start with number 11, having your child trace the dotted numeral with a finger before tracing it with a pencil, then writing it independently on the practice line. Repeat this trace-then-write pattern for each number up through 16, saying the number name aloud every time it's written. In the 'Count & Colour' section, have your child count the smiley faces for each number carefully, pointing to each one, then color that exact quantity as indicated. Finish by rereading the full sequence from 11 to 16 together.
