What kids practice

Kindergarten is where kids learn how to make each number. First grade is where those numbers get neat, fast and facing the right way, because now they're writing numbers all day in math. These sheets use the same handwriting lines as the letter sheets. Every number is tall, so it touches the top line and sits on the bottom line.

Watch for

  • Writing 2, 3, 5, 7 and 9 backwards. This is very common until about age 7.
  • Writing teen numbers in the order they sound, like 71 for seventeen.
  • Making numbers too small or floating above the bottom line.
  • Writing numbers past 100 the way they sound, like 1010 for 110.

It's free to print, with an answer key. See the full writing numbers neatly guide for 1st grade.
