What it is
Every teen number is one full ten and some more ones. 14 is 10 and 4. This is the first step toward place value, where the 1 in 14 stands for a whole group of ten.
What comes next
Patterns.
How to teach it
- Fill a ten frame first, then put the extras in a second one. The full frame is the 1 in the teen number.
- Say it two ways, "fourteen" and "ten and four."
- Bundle 10 straws or sticks with a rubber band, then add loose ones to build teen numbers.
- Point out that eleven and twelve are tricky names that don't sound like ten and one.
Common mistakes
- Writing the digits backwards, like 41 for fourteen. Fourteen says the 4 first, so this is very common.
- Filling both ten frames partly instead of filling the first one all the way.
- Thinking the 1 in a teen number means just one.
