Teacher tip
Read the words chorally before tracing. Many kids know “one” and “two” by sight already; let them be the leaders.
How to use it
- Slide the sheet into a page protector and use dry-erase markers for daily practice.
- Let kids trace with a finger before a pencil, so they feel the starting point.
- 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
- How many more would make ten?
- Which problem was the hardest? What made it hard?
