What Kids Will Learn
- Number 15 recognition
- How to trace and write number 15
- Counting up to 15
- Pencil control and early handwriting practice
Counting Activity
Ask your child to count 15 objects on the worksheet, say the number word "fifteen" aloud, then trace the number before writing it independently on the practice lines.
Understanding 15: One Ten and Five Ones
The number 15 represents fifteen items and its number word is “fifteen”. It follows 14 and precedes 16. It is one ten and five ones, or three equal groups of five.
Build Three Groups of Five
Use fifteen counters and three small bowls or marked spaces.
- Count five counters into the first space.
- Make two more groups of five.
- Count by fives—5, 10, 15—then verify the total by ones.
Combine two groups to make ten and leave the third group of five beside it.
How to Write Number 15
Write the straight 1 first. Form 5 to its right with a downward stroke, a rounded lower curve and the short top line used by the model.
A Common Writing Difficulty
The 5 may be reversed or its lower curve may close like a loop. Compare it with the model after each independent attempt.
Teaching Tip and Independent Practice
Teaching tip: Count five fingers on three hands or use three groups of five counters before writing.
Independent practice: Show one group of ten and one group of five, then ask the child to write 15 from memory.
