About this coloring page
Eleven is ten and one more. This number 11 coloring page has a big 11, the word eleven in bubble letters, and eleven sea shapes, bubbles and fish taking turns, in two full rows of five and one more below. Counting the full rows first and then the extra one shows how 11 is built.
The name eleven does not sound like "one-teen", which is why children often find it tricky. It comes from an old word that meant "one left over" after ten. A soccer team has eleven players on the field. To write 11, draw two straight lines side by side. The first 1 means one ten and the second means one more. With bubbles and fish alternating, there are six bubbles and five fish, a nice sorting question.
