Five Learn to Write Numbers Activities for Young Learners

This activity is part of my Learn to Write Numbers resources. Be sure to click over to get all the fun printables and ideas.

There’s a new obsession at my house. We have a brand new number writer, and he is all about some number writing practice. He loves to learn to write numbers and to have you write numbers for him.

“Mom, write tirty-free. Mom, write sixty-two. Mom, write cero, cero, seven.” When he gets on a roll, we could sit and write numbers for a long, long time.

Fortunately, I am well-prepared for new number writers. Our number writing poems and printables are still going strong on their jump ring. And they are still the perfect thing — for the new number writer or the older kid who still struggles with reversals.

But sometimes you need a little variety, you know. So here are a few more activities for helping kids — little and bigger — to practice number writing.

1. Salt Tray Number Writing

Learn with Play at Home has a great post about how to use the salt tray for writing numbers. You can use the cards and have them count as demonstrated or you could simply have them copy the number side of the card. I love how that it is self-checking and that Debs has fabulous ideas for extending the activity as well.

Don’t have that much salt? You can also substitute sand, sugar, flour or cornstarch instead. If you don’t have a fancy tray, any flat container with low sides will work. And for those worried about mess and storage, Julie at Nurturing Learners found a great little box with lid for hers.

2. Play Calculator

Another idea from Learn with Play at home; this one takes a little more prep, but what a fun option. Make your own bottle top calculator and kids can play at pressing the numbers and then writing them on the paper strip in the display area. Once again, Debs offers a variety of options to extend this activity for the preschool and kindergarten age group.

3. Great use for Old Calendars

Discover, Explore, Learn shares a fantastic use for old calendars! A year’s worth of calendars will provide a lot of writing practice, and old ones are so easy to find for free.

4.

Race to Trace

Oh my, the kids LOVE this game. It is still too fast paced for Thomas, but the bigs love to play it. You can see the original idea about halfway down the page in this list of math center ideas by Shari Sloane.

You play by rolling a die and then tracing the number on the page. The game moves quickly as each player has their own die and rolls in rapid succession. The player to trace all their numbers first wins.

We put ours in page protectors and use our dry erase markers. It helps John cement his number formation and Olivia work on those pesky reversals. And they never get tired of playing.

5. Kumon Workbooks

As your number writer gains fine motor control and wants or needs a bit more practice, Kumon offers My Book Of Numbers 1-30. Kumon is our workbook of choice and this one includes not only writing practice, but counting and number recognition as well.

Now how about you? Do you have any favorite learn to write numbers activities for helping little mathematicians with number writing practice?

Fine Motor Skills

The printed digital pattern to be circled is a good fine motor skill exercise. But at the age of two or three, it is too early to give a child prescriptions and ask him: “Circle” - it is still too early. You need to start with simple appliqué, modeling from plasticine or salt dough.

You can make your own or buy in toy stores sensory boxes with loose materials, animal figures made of plastic or rubber, pebbles of various shapes and sizes. The construction of various scenes from the elements of the game will contribute to the development of fine motor skills of the child's hands from one year old.

An older child (2-3 years old) can be engaged in stringing beads on a string. Large buttons, caps from plastic bottles, wooden spools of thread can serve as beads.

You need to do finger gymnastics with the baby, telling funny rhymes about the magpie-crow that cooked porridge and fed the children, about bunnies and squirrels, about boys and girls.

For preschoolers, you can arrange a shadow theater with your hands, fold origami, weave macrame, make figures and bracelets from elastic bands, cut out New Year's snowflakes, weave figures from large beads. Collecting a small designer also perfectly develops fine motor skills of fingers, but try not to give small parts to children under three years old so that they do not accidentally swallow them.

To prevent future number writing lessons from affecting calligraphy, it is important to teach your child how to hold a pencil and pen correctly. It will take a long time to train the pencil on the middle finger of the hand, being clamped by the thumb and forefinger. Ask him to draw something and at the same time watch how he holds a pencil.

Do not scold the child if he holds the pencil incorrectly while coloring pictures. Explain that if he wants to learn how to draw and write letters / numbers, he needs to hold a pencil, as mom or dad does. Praise the child for diligence and the slightest success, trying not to notice mistakes and mistakes. You can invite him to try to circle the image drawn with a dotted line.

When to start

At what age it is better to teach a child to write numbers in words depends not only on the wishes of the parents. Many people want to teach their baby early (almost at 2 years old) how to write numbers correctly. But if the child’s fine motor skills of the hands are still undeveloped, he doesn’t know how to count, and he doesn’t really want to do it, it’s too early to buy copybooks with numbers, and even more so to learn spelling. Experienced teachers do not recommend offering numbers for children at the age of three or four for several reasons:

Incorrect writing skills are formed, as a 3-4-year-old child is not yet able to appreciate the technique of writing numbers;
the child loses interest in learning new material at school if the teacher explains what he has long been familiar with since kindergarten and has had time to get bored;
the child must receive an initial preparatory base, which includes the ability to hold a pen, sit straight at a desk, be neat and attentive;

When the baby himself reveals the desire to study and acquire spelling skills by filling in the copy of numbers, you can download learning material from the Internet for free.

How to teach a child on your own?

It should be immediately noted that we learn to write numbers only after we confidently master the concept of counting, otherwise the whole process will be greatly slowed down - the child will begin to draw scribbles, representing a perfect abstraction for him. Therefore, it is worthwhile to correctly build the sequence of classes, and start, first of all, with an oral account.

Modern children learn to count quite early - they are required to familiarize themselves with the concept of numbers no later than 3 years. By this time, special developing literature manages to acquaint them even with the visual designation of numbers, but they will not be fixed in the baby’s head until he himself begins to use them. Experts advise in a playful way to ask the child to count certain objects - this must be done every or almost every day.

At this stage, the numbers should be simple - from 0 to 9. It is necessary to carefully monitor the mood of the child - it is undesirable to "load" him with studies when he clearly does not want it, otherwise it will be much more difficult to succeed.

That is why the lessons should resemble a game, and for any success of the child, it is necessary to praise aloud.

Classes with a preschooler

Once upon a time, all the hopes of parents for teaching kids were connected with school, but in the modern world it is easier for a child to learn how to write numbers even before school, especially since there they will already give a lot of other useful information . Experts recommend starting appropriate training for preschool children no earlier than at the age of 4-5 years - it is at this stage that they are already ready to normally perceive information of this level of complexity.

The psychological approach is very important here. It should be borne in mind that the child at this stage does not understand at all the full significance of having such a skill, and if he does not like the learning process itself, he will not break himself for the sake of a great goal, but will simply be capricious and not perceive information. At the same time, writing numbers for a baby who has not yet learned how to do this is no easier than drawing Chinese characters for parents.

Among other things, he differs from adults in that he gets tired much faster, so it is fundamentally important to have great patience and in no case scold the child if he does not succeed. In no case should you also force him to sit on the task until it succeeds - after all, he does not do it badly on purpose.

It is believed that the optimal duration of the session does not exceed 15-20 minutes, but you can reduce it even more in favor of more frequent repetitions - this will give a faster result.

The most reliable explanation for the kid why he should study is because it is interesting. So that the child does not get bored with a monotonous, albeit short-lived, lesson, alternate methods. You can draw numbers along the contour, from point to point, using a special notebook, or even just copy them from your favorite color book, because children love to draw. It remains only to direct this energy in the right direction by inviting the child to draw something useful for himself.

How to conduct classes

Learning to write numbers while playing. The writing lesson should not be a dry memorization of the rules of writing in the cells, but a creative activity that develops the imagination. It is desirable that a child at 5 years old understand what he writes. You can learn the meaning of numbers from the age of two.

In classes with preschoolers, as early as five years old, you can start learning how to write numbers in words. First you need to explain to the child what parts the cell in the notebook consists of. Where is her upper side, where is the lower, right and left. The kid must find the center of the cage himself. The correct spelling of numbers is mother's pride. But you can’t rush the baby, because calligraphy depends on it.

The writing skill is formed according to the observations of psychologists over several years of life. Even at 9 years old, the child has not yet fully mastered this skill.

The habit of doing the task hastily and carelessly in order to finish the lesson faster and do more interesting things is an undesirable behavior that needs to be corrected immediately. You can introduce an element of the game into the preschool period of education in a variety of ways. For example, you can lightly write some number and tell him "Circle the written number." If he does well, then come up with a promotion.

Best practices

There are quite a few different techniques designed to make the process of learning numbers as something very interesting for a child. Several of them are used at once in her special notebook for teaching how to write numbers by the popular author of children's educational literature Elena Bortnikova.

For a child, the easiest way to write a number more or less believable is to circle it along a previously sketched outline. This is exactly what the author proposes to do to the baby, simultaneously adding an element of the game and a simple account, because you will have to circle not only the number itself, but also the corresponding number of objects - waves, mushrooms, and so on. Some tasks contain small examples, like "4+1=5", which is also illustrated by pictures.

At the same time, everything looks rather monotonous and does not resemble the game so much, so the time devoted to study will really have to be dosed.

The notebook also assumes that in a real school the child will have to write not by dots, but by cells, and be careful, so that the numbers do not get out of the frame. It is not so easy to do this without a specially developed skill, so there is also a section in the notebook devoted to inducing a dotted contour inscribed in a box. It is difficult to judge how effective this technique is, but the child will get some idea of \u200b\u200bwhat awaits him in the future.

Some experts, by the way, believe that there is no need to hurry with learning to write - it is better to carefully prepare the child for the moment when they begin to teach him at school. Such training does not include writing classes, but it allows you to amazingly develop fine motor skills, which will help you learn new skills as quickly as possible.

Absolutely any way to develop finger skills will do here: finger twister and shadow theater, appliqué making and paper cutouts, sand drawings and origami folding, working with construction kits and weaving, plasticine modeling and drawing.

It is difficult for a child to write an ordinary letter “a” just as it is difficult for a person who cannot draw to draw “Mona Lisa” plausibly, because he is not very good with his hands yet, therefore, you need to help him at least with this.

How to train a lefty?

Contrary to popular belief, it is no more difficult to teach a left-hander to write beautifully than a right-hander, because both of them learn from scratch. The only difficulty for a left-hander may be that the writing of numbers was invented by right-handed people, therefore it is a little more "sharpened" for the needs of the right hand, and not the left. Nevertheless, there is still not a single known case that one of the teachers came up with the idea of drawing separate educational notebooks and bitmaps specifically for left-handed people - they study using the same manuals and methods as all other children.

By the way, many parents notice that their children in the process of learning to write numbers depict them in a mirror image, which is often perceived as a sign that the child is left-handed, even if he writes with his right hand.

Specialists in child development argue that the nature of this phenomenon is somewhat different - the child's brain is simply not yet sufficiently developed to fully perceive spatial phenomena, so the child, having generally memorized the outlines, is not always able to keep the angle of rotation of the number in his head. If such an effect is often demonstrated in a child of 4-5 years old, it is usually recommended to simply postpone learning calligraphy until a later date - the child, apparently, is not yet ready.

If the situation is typical for an older child, it is necessary, oddly enough, to contact a speech therapist.

Filling in the prescription

When filling out the prescription with the child, we write the numbers correctly so that at 6-7 years old, when he is already at school, he does not have to relearn. The rules for writing in cells from 1 to 10 are shown to the baby in the form of small cards with arrows, so he will better understand the movement of the pen while writing and remember. For the first time, parents can outline the future number with a dotted line.

Variant for number 1

Number 1 starts almost from the middle of the cell. Draw a short stick to the corner of the cell.

Then down from the right corner a long stick, which falls to the side of the base of the cell.

Variant for the number 2

Start writing the number 2 above the center of the cell. Draw a smooth semicircle that touches the middle of the right side of the top of the cell and the middle of the upper part of the right side of the cell. Smoothly rounding in the form of an even stick, the semicircle of the number two falls on the base line of the cell a little to the left of the middle. Now they draw a tail, which rests in a beautiful wave on the right side of the cell near the base. On this letter number 2 is over.

Variant for number 3

The number three consists of two semicircles. They begin to write from a point that is slightly below the middle of the upper edge of the cell. Rounding, they lead a semi-oval, which is in contact with the upper face and with the right, closer to the corner. The upper semi-oval ends just above and to the right of the center of the cell. Behind it, a second semi-oval is drawn, which rests on one side on the right side of the cell and, reaching the base, ends slightly to the left of its middle.

Variant for the number 4

The number four, like one, does not have nice roundness and smooth lines. It consists of straight lines and angles. The letter 4 starts from a point lying in the middle of the right side of the upper face. Lead a line to a point that is slightly below the center of the cell. Draw an angle with a side parallel to the base. Stop before reaching the right side. From a point slightly above the middle of the right side, draw a line at an angle to the base of the cell.

Variant for the number 5

For the number five, draw an even stick down, towards the center, from a point slightly to the right of the middle of the upper edge of the cell. A beautiful semicircle extending from the stick touches the right side of the cell in the middle and descends to the side of the base of the cell. At the end, from the starting point, draw a tail in the form of a semicircle, which rests on the corner of the cell.

Variant for the number 6

The number six looks like nine, which is placed on the head. They begin to write a six from a dot on the right side of the cell, not far from the top corner. Lead a semicircular tail to the underside of the cell. Anti-clockwise draw an oval, which occupies a little more than one-fourth of the space.

Variant for the number 7

The number seven is written almost the same as one. They just begin to draw not a straight line, but smooth, like a wave, from a point slightly below the middle of the upper edge of the cell. Then, from the right corner of the cell, draw an even leg to the base, slightly to the right of the middle. Cross out the leg of the number in the middle with a short even line from left to right.

Variant for the number 8

Writing the number 8 is easy. Draw a semicircle, as for the number two, starting from a point slightly above the center of the cell. At the base, the line is rounded and a second semicircle is drawn larger, returning the pen to the original point of writing the number eight.

Variant for the number 9

After the number 8, we will write the number 9. It must start from the point that is in the middle of the upper part of the right side of the cell. Having drawn a small oval, which almost fits in one fourth of the cell, they return to the original point and draw a semicircular leg near the oval. The leg of the oval, reaching the middle of the base of the cell, is rounded slightly upwards.

Variant for the number 0

Zero, similar to a round donut, starts to be drawn from a point that lies on the upper edge of the cell, not far from the right corner. If you look at the sample, you can clearly see that the movement goes counterclockwise, through the center of the cell, descends to its base in the middle and returns to the starting point, in contact with the right side of the cell at the top.

Consolidation of learned material

There is no better way to consolidate knowledge than practice, therefore, after completing the study of theory, it is necessary that the child works quite a lot in writing. Remember that writing is a difficult task, the child gets tired quickly, so you should not “load” him to the point of exhaustion. A preschooler needs to study writing numbers for no more than 20 minutes a day, regardless of the success of the results.

Solving the problem of number rounding

The problem arises when writing ovals and turns in numbers 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 0. When the child sees where he needs to move from the current point, then there is a temptation to do it quickly and directly. Angular numbers are obtained.

On the numbers "6" and "9" we have already said how not to crash into the line directly in the forehead. In writing the numbers "3" and "5" it must be said and shown that after stopping, the handle, like a machine, gives a small "reverse", that is, it moves a little along the old "rut" and then goes to a new rounding.

For the numbers "2", "8", "0" it is necessary to slow down the movement at the "ceiling" and "floor", approach the control point slowly sideways along a tangent, without crashing at high speed and without stopping.

Solving the problem of mirror writing of numbers

This problem is related to the child's perception of the sample and his own orientation on the sheet in the direction "left - right". Much less "up - down". Here we will not delve into the physiology of this problem for left-handed and right-handed children, but consider techniques and exercises for resolving this problem.

For a child, the concept of "left - right" is not fixed in the images. The names of the hands also do not solve this problem, since the hands are the same. And if an adult shows his hands as a model and still faces the child, then the child has a complete confusion in his head. The "hay-straw" solution is bad because these names are not phonetically related to the name "left-right".

It is necessary to use visual images known to the child, the names of which are consonant with the pronunciation of "LEFT" and "RIGHT". I used in the work the images of "LEO" and "Gingerbread". These images are drawn or pasted on the margins of the notebook on the left - LION, on the right - Gingerbread. If this is the first page, then the LION is on the cover, if the last one, then the gingerbread is on the cover. Be sure to have the same drawings in the places from which the child draws figures, numbers, letters. For example, from a board, from a book, from a notebook, etc. Gradually “tie” the names of the child’s own hands (left and right) to those directions that are indicated by understandable images in order to subsequently work without them.

Bag game. This is the same “catch the cells” game, only here you need to “sew” (draw) a “bag” for them, without breaking the “threads” (without breaking the lines), speaking your movements aloud. For example, I make an order: "I will catch 8 cells." After that, the starting point at the intersection of the lines is selected and the whole way is spoken out with simultaneous drawing: “Four cells to the right, two cells up, four cells to the left, two cells down.” Another variant. Samples of "bags" of different shapes are given and you need to redraw them in your notebook. Before starting drawing, have the child say the whole path he will go. Do not forget to paste the images of "lion" and "carrot" on the samples.

Graphic dictation exercise. This is a well-known exercise used by many teachers. The way of drawing figures or lines is dictated by the number of cells and the direction of drawing.

Learning to write numbers: download and print copybooks

We present to your attention stencils with numbers that will help you and your child easily learn the material. At first, you need to circle the numbers more by points, then switch to using only the main symbols. And an important requirement - engage with your child regularly! Try to complete tasks in a playful way or make associations with numbers. For example, a four is an upside down chair, but a seven looks like a braid (but not a girl's).

Poisoned to write the number 1

Write the number 2

Poison write the number 3

And now try the number 4

So write the number 5

And now write the number 6 9000

to practice write 7

Write a number 8

Practice writing a number 9

Write a zero, and then combine it with the number 1

Wishes

them into these figures according to the rules and images that are described above. Do not overload with volume and simulators. Better take their own orders. Let them set tasks for themselves, determine when and how many they can write simple numbers or, like “craftsmen”.

If a child has mastered different ways of writing, then he has developed good self-regulation, and he will easily master the beautiful writing of numbers. Only for this it is necessary that he had a desire.

And the desire arises from the game, creativity, interest in achieving a visible and designated by criteria goals. This is the approach I used to perform such routine work as “writing numbers”.

Good luck to those who want to use this technique.

How to spell numbers correctly

When a child goes to school, prescriptions start. They even exist in mathematics. Then parents begin to wonder - how to write numbers in words correctly, what to learn on their own and then teach their child. Yes Yes! After all, parents write numbers at random, and not as required at school. Therefore, here are our recommendations for writing numbers.

Contents

How to spell the number 1 correctly
