Counting Activity
Ask your child to count 17 objects on the worksheet, say the number word "seventeen" aloud, then trace the number before writing it independently on the practice lines.
Understanding 17: One Ten and Seven Ones
The number 17 represents seventeen items and its number word is “seventeen”. It follows 16 and precedes 18. Its digits show one ten and seven ones.
Match Seven Extras to One Ten
Prepare one bundle of ten craft sticks and seven separate sticks.
- Count the bundled sticks as one complete ten.
- Touch the loose sticks while counting on from 11 to 17.
- Separate one loose stick and identify the remaining quantity as 16.
Return the stick to make 17, then add another to reach its successor, 18.
How to Write Number 17
Write the straight 1 first. Add 7 with a top horizontal line followed by a diagonal stroke down towards the left.
A Common Writing Difficulty
If the top line of 7 is too short, 17 can resemble two 1s. Make the shapes distinct while keeping their spacing even.
Teaching Tip and Independent Practice
Teaching tip: Name each place while pointing: “one ten, seven ones”.
Independent practice: Show a bundle of ten and seven loose sticks, then ask the child to write and read 17.
