How to write 15
Fifteen is a 1 and a 5. Remember that the 5 gets its hat last: down, round the belly, lift, then the flat line on top.
Number facts for fifteen
One more than fifteen is 16, and one less is 14. 15 is odd, so 15 socks make 7 pairs with one left over. You can make fifteen as 14 + 1, 13 + 2, 12 + 3 or 11 + 4. It is one ten and 5 ones: a full ten-frame and 5 more. Count on from 15: 16, 17, 18. Count back: 14, 13, 12.
Fifteen in real life
Fifteen minutes is a quarter of an hour. Set a timer for fifteen minutes of play or tidying. Count to fifteen in threes with blocks: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15.

A solid 15 with a numbered arrow comes first, then dotted copies, the word "fifteen" and an empty row to write alone. When it feels easy, try 16.
