Bigger Number (Compare Numbers to 20)
Ten pairs of teen numbers from 10 to 20 in bright rainbow rows. Children read each pair and circle the bigger number. A simple, uncluttered Kindergarten page that builds number sense with the trickiest numbers to 20.
How to use this worksheet
- Read both numbers in a pair out loud.
- Decide which number is bigger. Count up from 10 if you are not sure.
- Circle the bigger number. There are 10 pairs.
What your child practices
Comparing numbers between 10 and 20, part of the Kindergarten counting and cardinality standards in the US. Children learn that a number said later in the counting sequence is bigger. Answers (bigger numbers): 17, 15, 19, 13, 18, 20, 11, 17, 19, 18.
Who it is for
Made for Kindergarten children around five to six who can count to 20. Teen numbers are often confusing (fourteen is written 14 but sounds like four first), so reading each number aloud before comparing helps.
Try it at home
Play a quick card game with numbers 10 to 20 written on cards: each player flips one and the bigger number wins both. Or build the two numbers with a ten-frame and loose counters so your child can see that 17 is 10 and 7 more.
