What kids do
“Trace each gray number. Write the missing numbers in the boxes. Then write the whole line on the writing line.”
Printed on the sheet:
- Start each number at the top. The numbers get bigger as you go right!
Teacher tip
Ask kids to read the whole line out loud after they finish. Copying it on the writing line is the real test.
How to use it
- Use a fat crayon or a triangle pencil for kids who still grip with a fist.
- Model each number in the air first, saying the stroke out loud: “Down, and around.”
- 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
- Can you find this number somewhere in the classroom?
- Which problem was the hardest? What made it hard?
Take it further
Hunt for numbers in a picture book, on a calendar or on the classroom clock and tally how many you find.
