Counting Activity
Ask your child to count 26 objects on the worksheet, say the number word "twenty-six" aloud, then trace the number before writing it independently on the practice lines.
Understanding 26: Two Tens and Six Ones
The number 26 is composed of two tens and six ones. Arrange two groups of ten objects and a separate group of six so children can connect each written digit with its place value.
Starting at 20, touch each extra object and count on: 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26. This also shows that 26 sits between 25 and 27 on a number line.
Build 26 and Find Different Groups
Use 26 blocks or counters on a large surface. Begin with place-value groups, then rearrange the same total.
- Make two rows of ten objects.
- Place six extra objects in a shorter third row.
- Count the two tens and then count on six to reach 26.
- Rearrange the six extras into three pairs.
- Mix all the objects and rebuild 26 without adding or removing any.
Ask the child why the total remains 26 after the objects move. This reinforces that rearranging a collection does not change how many objects it contains.
How to Write Number 26 Clearly
Write 2 first with its curved top and flat base. Begin 6 near the top, curve down and around, then close the lower loop so the digit is easy to recognise.
Children sometimes confuse 6 and 9. Point out that the rounded loop in 6 is at the bottom. Keep the 2 and 6 separate, evenly sized and in the correct order.
