What kids do
“Look at the number in the star. Circle it every time you see it in the row. How many did you find?”
Teacher tip
Look-alikes like 6 and 9 trip kids up. Ask them to point to the number in the star every few circles.
How to use it
- Model each number in the air first, saying the stroke out loud: “Down, and around.”
- Slide the sheet into a page protector and use dry-erase markers for daily practice.
- Do the first problem together under a document camera, then let kids finish on their own.
Watch for
Kids who form numbers from the bottom up. Catch it early, before the habit sets.
Talk about it
- Which numbers look a bit alike? How can you tell them apart?
- Which problem was the hardest? What made it hard?
