The tens

Nine words, from venti to novanta, then cento. From 30 they all end in -anta.

The two rules from 21 to 99

The ten drops its vowel before uno and ottoTreccani’s Enciclopedia dell’Italiano: where an inner numeral begins with a vowel, the final vowel of the one before is elided between ten and unit, “ventuno [e non *ventiuno]”. Among the units only uno and otto begin with a vowel, so these sixteen words are the whole of the rule below 100.

A final tre takes the accentThe same article: “I composti di tre vanno accentati, benché il numerale tre, da solo, non necessiti di accento”, compounds of three take the accent, though three on its own does not. It notes that usage wavers, even in literature; this site and its answer keys print ventitré.

Teaching it in two lessons

The first lesson is the tens and the joining: once a class can say quaranta and knows 1 to 9, quarantasei needs no teaching. The second is the two exceptions, best met on a sheet where they are mixed among regular numbers so pupils have to spot them. The worksheet generator draws about a third of each 1 to 100 sheet from the exceptions and spreads the rest so every ten appears. Every word in this chart and on the sheets comes from the same engine, checked 3,000,145 times against a separate derivation.

Going further: 101 to a million, where cento keeps its vowel before uno and otto; and counting in Italian, with a speller that shows which rule built any number.

Questions teachers ask

How do you write the numbers 21 to 99 in Italian?

Join the ten and the unit into one word: ventidue, trentacinque, sessantanove. Two adjustments apply. Before uno and otto, the ten drops its final vowel (ventuno, ventotto, novantuno, novantotto), and a number ending in 3 is written with an accent (ventitré, novantatré). Nothing else changes, so a class that knows the tens and 1 to 9 can write all seventy-two two-digit numbers above twenty.

Is 100 in Italian cento or un cento?

cento, without un. Treccani’s entry gives the compounds as centouno, centodue, centotré and so on. Only approximate uses take an article: "un cento persone" means about a hundred people.

Why is 28 ventotto but 23 ventitré, with the i kept?

The vowel drops only where the next part begins with a vowel, which among the units means uno and otto. tre begins with a consonant, so venti keeps its i: venti + tre is ventitré. The accent is there because the whole word is stressed on its last syllable.

Is there a printable Italian numbers 1-100 chart?

Yes. The chart on this page is also a one-page A4 PDF with every number from uno to cento and the dropped vowels and accented tré marked in red. It is free to print and photocopy for a class, and the worksheet generator makes practice sheets for the same range.
