How to write 11
Eleven is two ones side by side. Keep both lines straight and the same height, with a clear gap so it reads as 11 and not as a single thick line.
Number facts for eleven
One more than eleven is 12, and one less is 10. 11 is odd, so 11 socks make 5 pairs with one left over. You can make eleven as 10 + 1, 9 + 2, 8 + 3 or 7 + 4. It is one ten and 1 one: a full ten-frame and 1 more. Count on from 11: 12, 13, 14. Count back: 10, 9, 8.
Eleven in real life
A soccer team has eleven players on the field. Line up eleven toy figures and count them, then make a ten-frame team of ten plus one more on the bench.
