Number Words

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a learning tool focused on teaching the correct way to write numbers from 21 through 99 as words, which often requires hyphenation. It emphasizes that numbers ending in a zero do not take a hyphen when written out. The worksheet presents a list of numbers and provides lined space for students to write each number in word form. The instructions clearly state the task: to convert the numerals into their written counterparts, using hyphens where appropriate.

The purpose of this worksheet is to familiarize students with the standard convention of hyphenating certain numbers when they are written out as words. It teaches them to recognize when a hyphen is needed, which is typically between the tens and the ones place for numbers twenty-one through ninety-nine, except for multiples of ten. This practice strengthens students’ number literacy and aids in their understanding of proper grammar and punctuation in numerical contexts. Ultimately, the exercise is designed to help students write numbers correctly in their textual form, which is a useful skill in both academic and everyday writing.
