Number 16 tracing FAQ
How do you write the number 16?
Sixteen has two digits: a 1 for one ten, then a 6 for six more. Write the 1 first, leave a small gap, then write the 6. Trace it on the dotted lines a few times before writing it freehand.
How can I help my child count to 16?
Count real things together, touching each one as you say the number: toys, steps, grapes. The last number you say is how many there are. The worksheet has 16 stars to count and color and two ten frames that show 16 at a glance.
Why is 16 written with a 1 and a 6?
Our numbers use place value. The left digit counts tens and the right digit counts ones, so 16 is 1 ten and 6 ones. The teen numbers are tricky because we say the ones first ("sixteen") but write the tens first.
What age is number 16 tracing for?
Number tracing usually suits children from about 3 to 6. Numbers up to 10 are often practiced in preschool and pre-K, and up to 20 in kindergarten (Reception in the UK).
