Numbers Chart: Counting 1 to 100 in English

What Are Numbers? Let’s Make It Simple!

Numbers are special symbols that help us count things. Just like letters help us make words, numbers help us understand “how many.”

Your Step-by-Step Number Journey

Step 1: Understanding Single Digits (1-9)

First of all, let’s start with the building blocks, single digits! These are the numbers from 1 to 9. Subsequently, every other number is made using these special nine friends.

• •1 (one) – Like a single finger pointing up
• •2 (two) – Like your two eyes
• •3 (three) – Like a triangle’s three sides
• •4 (four) – Like a chair’s four legs
• •5 (five) – Like the fingers on one hand
• •6 (six) – Like the legs on an insect
• •7 (seven) – Like the days in a week
• •8 (eight) – Like a spider’s eight legs
• •9 (nine) – Like a baseball team’s players

Step 2: Meeting Zero (0)

Next, we have a special number called zero (0). Although it means “nothing” or “none,” it’s super important! Without zero, we couldn’t make bigger numbers like 10, 20, or 100.

Step 3: Creating Teen Numbers (10-19)

After that, we combine our single digits with the number 10 to make teen numbers. These are special because they have unique names:

• •10 = ten
• •11 = eleven
• •12 = twelve
• •13 = thirteen
• •14 = fourteen
• •15 = fifteen
• •16 = sixteen
• •17 = seventeen
• •18 = eighteen
• •19 = nineteen

Step 4: Building Tens (20-90)

Subsequently, we create groups of ten. These numbers end with “-ty”:

• •20 = twenty
• •30 = thirty
• •40 = forty
• •50 = fifty
• •60 = sixty
• •70 = seventy
• •80 = eighty
• •90 = ninety

Step 5: Combining to Make All Numbers (21-99)

Finally, we combine tens with single digits using a hyphen (-). For example:

• •21 = twenty-one
• •35 = thirty-five
• •67 = sixty-seven
• •99 = ninety-nine

Rules and Patterns: Number Writing Guidelines

Basic Rules:

Single digits (1-9): Write as one word • Ten: Special word, not “one-zero” • Eleven and Twelve: Unique words, memorize them • Thirteen to Nineteen: Add “-teen” to the base number • Twenty to Ninety: Groups of ten end with “-ty” • Compound numbers (21-99): Use hyphen between tens and ones

Pattern Recognition:

Counting by 1s: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5… • Counting by 10s: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50… • Counting by 5s: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25…

Spelling Patterns:

Numbers 13-19 end with “-teen” • Numbers 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 end with “-ty” • Always use hyphen for numbers 21-99 (except 30, 40, 50, etc.)
