Hey there, fellow humans! Are you ready for some colorful fun? We’ve got just the thing for you - a printable chart for numbers 1 through 30! And let me tell you, it’s a real doozy.
1
First up, we have the number 1. Ah, the first step in counting. Remember when you were a baby and you learned to count to one? Those were the days.
2
Next comes the number 2. Don’t confuse it with the letter Z, or you might end up counting in a whole new language.
3
Up next, it’s the number 3! This is the number that comes after 2, but before 4. And if you’re ever feeling down, just remember that 3 is the magic number.
4
Fourscore and seven years ago, our forefathers brought forth on this continent a new nation… Wait, no, that’s not right. We’re just talking about the number 4 here. Not to be confused with the word “for,” which is only one letter off. English is weird, man.
5
Five golden rings! Wait, no, that’s not right either. But the number 5 is still pretty cool. It’s halfway to 10, which is like… halfway to 20. Math is hard.
6
Six, the number that comes after 5 and before 7. But it also looks like a lowercase g, which can be confusing. Luckily, we’re not counting in cursive today.
7
Seven is a lucky number, or so they say. It’s also the number of days in a week, which is either lucky or unlucky depending on how you look at it. But whatever your opinion on the number 7, you can’t deny that it’s a pretty sweet-looking number.
8
Eight is great! It’s also the number of legs on a spider, which is decidedly less great. But let’s focus on the positive, shall we? Eight can be divided evenly by 2 and 4, which makes it an even cooler number.
9
Nine is just three threes smooshed together, which is a pretty neat trick. It’s also the number of reindeer that pull Santa’s sleigh, which is… well, let’s just say it’s a different kind of neat.
10
Ten! The big 1-0. It’s a milestone number, the first double-digit number, and the basis for our entire decimal system. Plus, it looks kinda cool. Can’t go wrong with 10.
11
Eleven is an odd number, in more ways than one. It’s not divisible by 2 or any other even number, which makes it stand out from the crowd. Plus, it’s a palindrome! That means it reads the same forwards and backwards. How’s that for cool?
12
Twelvety-twelve! Okay, that’s not a real number, but 12 is still pretty cool. It’s divisible by 2, 3, 4, and 6, which makes it a real team player. Plus, it’s one of the few numbers with its own name - a dozen.
13
Cue spooky music - it’s the number 13! This number has been associated with bad luck and superstition for centuries. But why? Some say it’s because there were 13 guests at the Last Supper, or because witches were thought to gather in groups of 13. Whatever the reason, 13 gets a bad rap.
14
Fourteen is… well, it’s just kind of there. It’s not a prime number, it’s not a malleable number like 12, it’s just… 14. But hey, at least it’s not an unlucky number like 13, right?
15
Fifteen is a pretty big deal. It’s the first number with a “teen” in it, for one thing. But it’s also a multiple of 3 and 5, which means it’s got some serious math street cred. And let’s not forget about the song - “Fifteen, there’s still time for you…”
16
Sweet 16! This number is often associated with coming of age, growing up, and all that fun stuff. It’s also a perfect square (4x4=16), which is pretty neat. And who can forget about the classic Nelly song - “I’m like what, 16 wit a felony?”
17
Seventeen is a prime number, which means it’s only divisible by 1 and itself. It’s also a sort of awkward age - not quite grown up, but not quite a kid anymore. But hey, at least you can legally drive a car at 17.
18
Eighteen is when you become a legal adult in most places, which is both exciting and terrifying. It’s also the number of holes on a standard golf course, if you’re into that sort of thing. And let’s not forget about the classic Taylor Swift lyric - “We’re happy, free, confused, and lonely at the same time / It’s miserable and magical, oh yeah / Tonight’s the night when we forget about the heartbreaks / It’s time.”
19
“Hey, 19, that’s ‘Retha Franklin / She don’t remember the Queen of Soul.” Sorry, I had to. But seriously, 19 is a pretty unremarkable number. It’s a prime number, but so are a lot of other numbers. It’s not even a “teen” number anymore!
20
Twenty is a nice, round number. It’s also the number of fingers and toes most of us have, which is pretty convenient. And it’s the age when you’re officially no longer a “teen.” But let’s not get ahead of ourselves - we’ve still got 10 more numbers to go.
21
“I don’t know about you, but I’m feelin’ 21.” Thanks, Taylor Swift. But seriously, 21 is a milestone age in a lot of cultures. It’s the legal drinking age in the US, and it’s often associated with coming of age and being a “real” adult. Plus, it’s a palindrome!
22
Twenty-two is kind of an odd number. It’s not prime, it’s not a square, it’s just… 22. But hey, at least it rhymes with “flew.” So there’s that.
23
Ah, 23. The number that inspired Jim Carrey’s character in that weird movie, and also the subject of a conspiracy theory. Some people believe that 23 is an especially powerful or significant number, and that it shows up in spooky ways throughout history. But we’re just here to talk about a chart of numbers, so let’s move on.
24
Twenty-four is divisible by a lot of numbers - 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12, to be exact. It’s also the number of hours in a day, which is either a lot or not enough, depending on how you look at it. And let’s not forget about the classic TV show - “It’s the story… of a lovely lady…”
25
Twenty-five is a nice, even number. It’s also the number of cents in a quarter, the amount of frames per second in a standard video, and the age that most people’s car insurance rates go down. Basically, it’s a number that’s always there when you need it.
26
Ah, 26. The number of letters in the English alphabet. But did you know that there are actually more than 26 letters? Some languages have additional letters or diacritics that we don’t use in English. Mind blown.
27
Ten plus 17 equals 27. That’s about all there is to say about this number. But hey, at least it’s not an unlucky number like 13.
28
Twenty-eight is divisible by 2, 4, 7, and 14. But did you know that it’s also the number of bones in the human skull? Plus, it’s the number of days in February during a leap year.
29
Twenty-nine is a prime number, which means it’s only divisible by 1 and itself. But it’s also the number of days in February during a non-leap year, which is kind of weird. And let’s not forget about Leap Day - that magical extra day we get every four years.
30
And finally, we come to the end of our journey - the number 30. It’s a nice, round number, and it’s also the number of days in April, June, September, and November. Plus, it’s a multiple of 5 and 10, which makes it extra cool. And that’s the end of our chart!
Thanks for joining us on this magical number journey. We hope you’ve learned something new, or at least been mildly entertained. And if you need to count to 30 for any reason in the future, you’ll be all set.
