Trace Number 16

One numeral, one page. The strip at the top shows a large 16 beside 16 lemons, so the very first thing your child does is count — the numeral is tied to a real quantity before any pencil work begins.

Sixteen puts the loop of 6 next to the stick of 1 — a nice contrast of strokes on one number. Listen for six-teen said clearly; it blurs into sixty for many children.

The grid below holds dotted 16s to trace, sized for small hands, and the bottom row is deliberately empty: after a page of guided strokes, writing the numeral unaided in the last boxes is the moment the practice sticks.
