Teacher tip
Point out that every number in the row starts with a 2: two tens and some more.
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?
Take it further
