What it is
Writing numbers means forming each digit the right way and knowing what the number means. Kindergartners learn to write 0 to 20 and to match a written number to a group of things, including 0 for none.
What comes next
Counting objects.
How to teach it
- Show where each number starts. The green dot on the chart is the starting point.
- Trace first, then write on your own. Tracing builds the movement, and writing on your own makes it stick.
- Say the number and show it with fingers or counters, so the written number has meaning.
- For teen numbers, show a full ten frame plus some extras. 14 is ten and four more.
Common mistakes
- Writing numbers backwards, especially 2, 3, 5, 7 and 9. This is very common at this age.
- Writing teen numbers in the order they sound, like 41 for fourteen.
- Starting numbers from the bottom, which makes them harder to write neatly.
