A simple way to teach it

Before the lesson

Model one digit at a comfortable size. The page has numeral shapes, not number-word spellings or printed stroke-order arrows.

  1. Identify a digit and trace its three dotted examples.
  2. Write the same digit in the blank space beside the models, checking its direction and position on the lines.
  3. Review a small group for recognisable shapes, then practise any reversed or unclear digit again.

Support and extension

Use finger tracing or enlarged models before pencil work if helpful. Extend with naming a digit or counting objects using separate materials. Keep number recognition separate from handwriting accuracy; the sheet is not an arithmetic exercise and has no answer key.

Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
