Writing Numbers as Words

Discover how to turn digits like 7, 15, and 47 into their word forms, such as seven, fifteen, and forty-seven, using simple place value rules.


What You'll Learn

Recognize the word names for the numbers one through twelve as fixed words to memorize.
Identify the teen number pattern, where thirteen through nineteen end in "teen".
Apply the tens pattern, where twenty, thirty, forty, and similar words name each group of ten.
Combine a tens word and a ones word with a hyphen to write two-digit numbers such as forty-seven.
Compare digit form and word form of the same number to check that a written number makes sense.
Avoid common mix-ups, such as confusing thirteen with thirty or thirty with thirteen.

What You'll Practice

1

Converting single-digit and teen numbers to word form

2

Writing numbers up to 20 as their complete word names

3

Identifying correct spelling and format of number words
