What does six mean?

Word: Six

Part of Speech: Adjective

Meaning: Six means the number that is one more than five.

How do you spell six?

Syllables: six

Tricky part: Six ends with x, which says ks. Children often spell out the k and the s instead of writing one x.

Watch out for: sixe, sixs

Memory tip: The x at the end of six looks like two crossed sticks. That one letter does the work of k and s together.
