Write numerals to 20

Writing numerals to 20 represents understanding that each standard numeral is a written symbol for a specific whole-number quantity and position in the counting sequence, including zero and the teen numbers. It connects numerals with number names, quantities, and order, while recognizing the tens-and-ones structure of 10–20: in 11–19, the 1 denotes one ten and the second digit denotes ones; larger numbers and more advanced place-value notation are outside this scope.
