Fascinating Fact:

Teen numbers can trick us, so thirteen and thirty sound close but mean very different amounts.

In KS1 English, children learn to write numbers as words in sentences, lists and stories. They match each number to its spelling so their writing is clear and easy to read.

Key Terms

Digit: A written symbol for a number, such as 3, 7 or 9.
Number word: The word that shows a number, such as three, seven or nine.
Place value: The value a digit has because of where it is in the number, like 1 in 13 meaning ten.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

How do you teach KS1 children to write numbers in words?

Teachers teach number words by saying them aloud, showing matching digits, practising spellings like one, two and three, and using quick games and quizzes to build confidence.

When should children write numbers as words instead of digits?

Children often write numbers as words in sentences, stories and labels, especially for small numbers up to twenty, to make their writing flow smoothly.

Why is it important to spell number words correctly in KS1?

Spelling number words correctly helps other people understand the amount, avoids confusion with similar words, and makes a child’s writing look neat and accurate.
