What You Learned
- After ten come eleven to fifteen.
- Eleven and twelve have odd names.
- Thirteen is ten and three.
For the grown-up
Thirteen is really "three and ten". You can hear the three at the front if you listen for it.
Thirteen says the three first and the ten second. The number is written the other way round, with the ten first. That catches people out.
Eleven, twelve, thirteen — all of them are one full ten with some left over. The ten is always there, even when you cannot hear it.
Fill a ten frame, then start a second one. Whatever spills over is the "some more" part.
