Numbers to 20 K-1 Cut and Paste

About this resource

A student who counts to ten reliably can still stall dead at the teens. Fourteen and forty sound

alike, seventeen and seventy sound alike, and a number line that was solid to ten falls apart at

eleven. This store's seasonal math packs touch the teens on a few pages each; this pack spends all five skills

there.

Five skills, one number-sense job each, three levels of every single one. The pack takes the teens

in steps: first a full ten-frame and a partial one, so fourteen is ten and four rather than a word

to memorize; then counting real sets to twenty; then comparing two teen numbers when the box says

MORE or FEWER; then stepping one more or one less; and finally a mixed check that asks all four in

no particular order.

Every page is the same jar, drawn in heavy black line with the boxes inside it and the number cards in a

column beside it, so a student who has done one page knows what to do on the next one: read the box,

count, glue the number. The apples in the ten-frames on Ten and Some More and the counted sets on

Count to Twenty and on the mixed check are full-color pictures, and every counted set prints HOW MANY

beside its box; every other page is ten-frames and numerals in the store's own line work.

How The Three Levels Work

Level 1 — the fewest boxes, a tinted paste box showing exactly where the piece goes, and no spare

piece. Every card still has to be read, because choosing the right number is the skill.

Level 2 — one more box, no tint, and one spare piece that answers nothing on the page, so counting

the pieces and counting the boxes will not solve it.

Level 3 — six boxes, no tint, nothing spare, and a scaffold taken off the row itself: the number

sentence disappears from under the ten-frames, the compare rows lose their frames and become

numerals, and the pieces are never printed in the order the boxes are answered in.

The Five Skills

1. Ten and Some More — two ten-frames, the first one full: glue the number they make

2. Count to Twenty — count a set of pictures and glue the number

3. More or Fewer — two teen numbers, and the box prints which one it wants

4. One More, One Less — the box prints which way to step

5. Numbers to 20 Check — all four jobs on one page, nothing in the order it was taught

The Box Prints The Question

On More or Fewer and on One More, One Less the word is printed on the row — MORE, FEWER, ONE MORE,

ONE LESS — and it changes from row to row, so a student who reads the first box and then works from

memory gets half the page wrong. That is deliberate: it is what these pages are built to show you.

Thirty-two rows across the pack print a word, and every one of them is checked against the answer

key at build time.

What Is In The File

• 26 pages, one PDF
• 5 scripted lesson plan pages — a script in quotation marks a substitute could read cold, three

level notes, three "if a student is stuck" tips with the likely cause named, a try-it-today idea

and a data box on every plan

• 15 student worksheets (5 skills x 3 levels)
• 2 pages of answer keys, recomputed from the same data that draws the worksheets
• 1-page "how to use this packet" guide
• A name and date line, a big direction line and a cut rule on every worksheet
• Every numeral a student reads — on the row and on the card — set at the same size, in a box big

enough for a six-year-old to cut and hold

• No level word and no teacher note anywhere on a student page: the three dots on the name line are

the only level code, and they are there for you, not for the child

Who This Is For

Self-contained, resource and early-intervention classrooms, and any K–2 room with students working

on number sense past ten. It sits after this store's counting work within ten and before addition

to twenty.

What This Is, And What It Is Not

A print-and-cut worksheet packet with a scripted plan page in front of each skill. It is not a

fillable form, not a full curriculum, and not a claim about how quickly any student will learn a

teen number — every objective is written the way a classroom goal is written, with nothing clinical,

no timeline and no eligibility claim attached to it.

It is also not a reprint of this store's monthly packets. September Print and Go teaches counting

and comparing to twenty in its third week and October Print and Go teaches one more and one less;

neither month's pages appear here, and none of these pages appears in either month. Every page in

this pack was written for it and checked against every page already in print.
