Number Writing Practice

I have a couple of little ones who are really good at math, but not so good at penmanship. Although they know the correct answer to an arithmetic problem, they often write it backwards.

So I designed this numeral writing printable to give them some extra practice.

Number Writing Practice Sheet | free printable from flandersfamily.info

click to print Number Writing Practice Sheet

If number reversals are a problem at your house, try printing out several copies to use with your young students. You can require them to do the whole page, or just the numerals that give them the most trouble.

And if they need a little extra practice (on either numbers or letters), try one or more of the following activities:

  • Spread a little shaving cream on the kitchen table, and have them use their finger to draw the numerals in the lather. If they make a mistake, they can easily smooth it away and try again
  • Have them to form all ten digits out of play dough or modeling clay. If they get one backwards, it’s a simple matter of flipping it over to make it right.
  • Practice writing numbers with sidewalk chalk on the porch or driveway.
  • Give your child a paintbrush and a cup of water, and have him “paint” his numbers on the sidewalk.
  • Spread some uncooked rice in the bottom of a cooking tray and let your child practice drawing the numbers in that.
  • Save on paper! Laminate our number writing practice sheet, then use a dry erase marker to complete it.

Be patient. Correct their mistakes gently and lovingly. Give them lots of opportunities to practice.

If you know of any other helpful tricks to teach the proper orientation of digits 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 9, be sure to share them below. My kids are always happy to try something new.

    First off, thank you!

    I was simply looking for a good traceable number worksheet (with all of the numbers) and after finding two “free” ones that weren’t free if you actually wanted to print them (!), I found your worksheet. Because of that, I found your blog. Within 10 seconds I’d bookmarked it. 12 kids! Wow! But what’s so incredible is your willingness to share what you’ve learned, things you’ve created, and basically your life with the world without expecting something in return. That’s amazing.

    Oh, and definitely listing loving Jesus FIRST speaks volumes…. Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you and tell you how much I appreciate your blog!

      You’re so welcome. Very rarely are the struggles we experience with our children unique to only us. It was always encouraging to me, too, to see families whose children were older successfully come through problems we were presently experiencing, because it gave me hope that our struggles were “overcome-able.” 🙂

For the most part, our days of traveling with ten For the most part, our days of traveling with ten or twelve kids in tow are behind us.  For the majority of our trips during the past year, we’ve had only these three tagging along. Sometimes just the youngest two.  By this time next year, we’ll be down to only Abby.  The speed with which all our chicks have grown up and left the nest have made me so grateful for the years we’ve spent homeschooling them and for the freedom that decision has allowed us to travel together whenever and wherever my husband’s schedule would allow.  Traveling cross country with cranky toddlers isn’t always fun.  Backpacking Europe with a breastfeeding baby takes effort.  Cramming 12 people into a 500 sq ft army barrack during Daddy’s 4-month (stateside) deployment so we can all be together requires commitment.  But all the memories and comradery and love that such small sacrifices foster are so worth it!  So don’t put off traveling with your kids until they are older. Even if you are just driving across town to explore a park or museum you’ve never seen before, do it without delay.  If you wait too long, you may not have any kids left at home to share the experience with. 🥲  #flandersfamilytravels #homeshooling #siezetheday
