About this resource
This resource is a Writing Numbers Practice Sheet.
It has numbers 0-9.
This practice page will show students how to write each number.
This goes well as an early finishers or maths centre activity. For students who need extra practice, you can make multiple copies to go in their maths folder or send home for homework.

Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Students will trace and form the numerals 1 through 9 following the correct starting point and stroke direction for each.
Students will identify how many pencil pickups a given numeral requires based on its labelled stroke count.
Teaching tips
Send this page home as reinforcement practice, since the introductory note is written directly to families about practising tracing together.
Read each number's stroke description aloud before the student traces it, since the correct starting point (e.g., 'start just below the top' for 3) is easy to get backwards without guidance.
Pair this practice with the same specific-instruction approach used for letter formation, as referenced in the page's introduction, for a consistent handwriting method.
Skills covered
Numeral formation — students trace and write numerals 1 through 9 using a specified starting point and stroke direction for each.
Stroke-count awareness — students recognise how many pencil pickups a numeral requires, such as the two strokes needed for a 4 or 5.
