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.

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.

More Basic Skills Practice

Does your student need a little more practice with basic skills? Then check out the following printables, too:

  • Letter Printing Practice Sheets – if your child needs help correcting letter reversals, you’ll find our best tips for dealing with that problem here

    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.” 🙂

I’ve published lots of prayer guides on my websi I’ve published lots of prayer guides on my website aimed at praying for your children, whether they be in the womb, very young, teens, or adults. But I hadn’t thought to publish a prayer for parents until a young reader wrote to ask if I offered one. She knew her parents were using my printable while praying for her and wanted to return the favor. Isn’t that precious?  #godanswersprayers #prayforoneanother #praywithoutceasing

Putting everyone in the same color scheme helps us count heads faster (and makes for prettier vacation photos, too)!  #colorcoordinated #familyphotos #sundayworship

Let the turmoil in our country be, first and foremost, a call to prayer. To reaffirming our faith in God. To loving our neighbors, even when we disagree with them. To standing tenaciously on upon what we KNOW to be true — God’s Word — while expressing our opinions with grace and humility.  “Lord, send a revival, and let it begin in me!”  #saltandlight #calltoprayer #lightinthedarkness #standfirm

My lovely daughter posted this song on her private My lovely daughter posted this song on her private account yesterday but gave me permission to share it here, as well. I hope it will bless and encourage you like it did me.  Rebekah writes: “Wrote this little tune way back in April and never dreamed I’d EVER share something I wrote because I’m not a writer and that’s just too vulnerable but here we are. I hope this encourages you and reminds you that despite all the uncertainty around us we can have hope and courage knowing that Christ is victorious.  “‘In peace I will lie down and sleep for you alone Lord make me dwell in safety.’ Psalm 4:8  “‘I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.’ John 16:33  “The enemy 
Looks like he’s winning and 
it gets to me 
keeps my head spinning 
lie awake at night, 
searching for a little light  then I remember  we don’t have to walk alone 
God you’re still on your throne 
you are in control 
and you still see it all  no we don’t have to fear the night 
you are with us in this fight
and daybreak is coming 
the battle’s been won and  the enemy loses in the end.”
Are you facing a seemingly impossible situation? R Are you facing a seemingly impossible situation? Remember the LORD is sovereign. Is there anything too difficult for Him? (Jeremiah 32:27) “For with God, nothing shall be impossible.” (Luke 1:37)  So cast your cares fully on Christ. Continue in prayer. I am convinced there is no stronger position from which to do battle than on your knees. “Perhaps the LORD will work on our behalf. Nothing can hinder the LORD from saving, whether by many or by few.” (1 Samuel 14:6)
