About this coloring page
Thirteen is the first of the teen numbers. This number 13 coloring page has a big 13, the word thirteen in bubble letters, and thirteen flowers in two rows of five and one row of three. Count the full rows first, ten, then count on: eleven, twelve, thirteen.
Thirteen means three and ten, which you can hear in the word: thir- for three and -teen for ten. Children often confuse thirteen with thirty, so say both slowly and listen to the ending. A "baker's dozen" is thirteen, one more than a regular dozen. To write 13, draw the 1, then the 3 with its two bumps. Pointing to the 1 and saying "one ten", then to the 3 and saying "three ones", builds early place value.
