Writing digits 0-9
Form digits 0-9 correctly and legibly
What a learner can do afterwards
- Write all digits 0-9 clearly with correct starting points
- Form digits the appropriate size relative to letter height
- Write numbers legibly so they can be read by others
The lesson
Every digit has its own shape. You draw each one the same way every time. This helps others read your numbers.
Good to know
Start most digits at the top, not the bottom. Starting the same way every time makes writing easier.
Try it together
Ben writes a 5. He starts at the top with a short line down. Then he curves around at the bottom.
Good to know
Numbers should be as tall as your capital letters. Not too big, not too tiny.
Write each digit the same way every time, sized just right.
