Chapter Two: Number Writing- A Kinesthetic Approach

In chapter two we will be learning to properly write the numbers zero to five. Our first set of numbers to work with are zero, one, two, and three.
In this activity the mathematicians practice writing numbers in the air and then on a partners back. As we form the number we recite the proper wording for correct number formation:
zero - Around we go, to make a zero
one- straight line down from the sun, that's the way we make a one
two- around and back on a railroad track
three- around a tree around a tree, that's the way we make a three

Next, we write the numbers on a partners back without reciting the verbiage aloud. Then, the person who had the number written on their back need to guess which number was written.

This was a great activity to get as read for pencil-to-paper practice.
