Counting from 0 to 199
(it’s easier than you think!)

2. Let’s see what you remember…
How high can you count en español?
Take a moment to write 0-15 down the margin of your paper and write the Spanish names of as many as you can. Remember to spell the words the way they SOUND using Spanish letter sounds.

3. The numbers 0-15 are their own unique words…

How did you do?

4. Notice the spelling changes!
16-19 16
Dieciséis 17
Diecisiete 18
Dieciocho 19
Diecinueve
These numbers are formed kind of like writing a math problem. Squish your tens and ones together, adding the spanish word for “and” in the middle
10 and 6
Diez y Seis becomes
Dieciséis
We are writing the number as “ten and six” in one long word
diez y
becomes
dieci
The Z changes to a C and y (meaning and) changes to an i
Notice the spelling changes!
