What kids do
“Trace each number, then write it on your own. Color that many boxes in the ten frame.”
Printed on the sheet:
- Color nothing for 0, and one box in the ten frame for each one you count.
Teacher tip
Start with zero as a big round “egg”. Kids who color the ten frame first and then trace see that each number is an amount, not just a shape.
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
Reversals of 2, 3, 5, 7 and 9 are normal at this age. Point to the start dot and model again rather than marking it wrong.
Talk about it
- Where does this number start, at the top or the bottom?
- Which problem was the hardest? What made it hard?
