Keep counting higher with the number 11!
This printable worksheet introduces children to the number eleven using a large hat illustration at the top to spark interest and curiosity. Early learners begin by tracing the digits 11 on dotted lines, helping them build confidence in writing double-digit numbers. They also practice tracing the number word “eleven,” supporting spelling, reading, and number recognition skills at the same time.
At the bottom of the page, children will find 11 small hats carefully arranged in a numbered row. The task invites them to color all 11 hats, providing a hands-on activity that reinforces the meaning of “eleven” through counting and visual grouping. This simple exercise helps kids understand that larger numbers represent bigger sets, making early math concepts easier to grasp.
