    Go to page 11. Or "open your book on page 11" (I believe this is also an acceptable option, although I'm not sure about it being natural).

    Please be aware that I'm neither a native English speaker nor (at present) a teacher.

    One question mark is enough.

    Context is important. Please provide enough for us to be able to deal effectively with your question.
    Your thread title should include all or part of the word/phrase being discussed.
    If you just want to know the meaning of a word, try OneLook Dictionary Search first.

    This doesn't really work in BrE.

    I've learned here that we use 'at' when we want to instruct students to open their books:
    'Open your books at page 3'

    And "Open your book(s) to page 11" in BrE too.

    In AmE, "Open your books to page 3" or "go to page 3" are most frequently heard.
