Number Names 1 to 20

Number names are simply words that are used in mathematics to represent numerical values. These are very important to the understanding of arithmetic and are used in various mathematical and everyday contexts. The Indian numbering system and international numbering system have different naming standards.

In the Indian numbering system, the numerals are named on the basis of their place values. Such as ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, lakhs and crores. While in an international numbering system we use the words as a million, a billion and so on instead of lakh and crore.
 

In an Indian Numbering System, the value of a digit depends on the position of the number, where each digit has a different value. Starting from the right side, the first digit represents ones, followed by tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousand, lakhs, and crores.

For example, the number 2,34,56,789 is written as two crores, thirty-four lakh, fifty-six thousand, seven hundred and eighty-nine. In this number, 9 is in ones place, 8 is in the tens place, 7 is in the hundreds places and so on).  

2,542 = Two thousand five hundred and forty-two
 

The international number system, which is also called the western number system. It is a place value system where the position of each digit shows its numerical value. To start with the rightmost digit represents ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, millions, ten millions, and so on.

For example: 43,000,280 = forty-three million two hundred eighty.
 

The number names chart from 1 to 20 is one of the best ways for helping the students to learn and write the numbers in words, making it simpler for them to understand how to write the number names.
 

The list of numbers explains how the number one to twenty can be described with words instead of digits. As a result, students can find it enjoyable, and at the same time, they can improve spelling, reading, and mathematical skills.
 

For writing the spellings of numbers from one to twenty, there are specific rules. Now, Let’s at the rules for writing number names from 1 to 20:

Rule 1: To write the numbers from 1 to 10, use the number names chart because these numbers have unique spellings. For example, 1 is written as “one”, 2 as “two”, and 10 as “ten”.

Rule 2: For the numbers between 11 and 19, we follow the specific patterns for their number names. For example, 11 is called “eleven”, 12 is called “twelve”, 13 is “thirteen”, and so on.
 

Children can learn number names from 1 to 20 very quickly from the following these tips and tricks.

• Begin with the numbers 10 (ten) and 20 (twenty), so students can easily get used with the number patterns.

• Numbers from 13 to 19 follow a pattern that will ends with teens. For example, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, and so on.

• Start counting numbers backward from 20 to 1. This will also help children to understand the number sequence.
   

• Place value: The place of the number shows the value of a digit based on its position. For example, In the number 20, 2 is in the tens place and 0 is in the ones place.

• Numerical Patterns: Numerical pattern is the method of forming number names above 20 with the help of specific patterns.

• Indian Numbering System: Here we group the numbers into lakhs and crores. For example, 1,00,000 is written as one lakh.
