In chapter two we learned to properly write the numbers zero to five.
Above 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
four- down and over, down some more, that's the way we make a four
five- fat old five goes down, around, put a hat on top
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.
