Writing the numbers six to ten

Distinguish six through nine and write ten in the correct order.

Paper packet. Every task here also exists on screen, where it is checked automatically; answers written on paper are not assessed by Nydus. When you are back at a device, enter your answers there.

1. What you will learn

Follow the paths of six through nine and write ten with two digits.

2. Writing words

3. Notice where the loop goes

Six has a lower loop in the shown style. Nine has an upper loop and a tail below. Eight has two loops. Seven has a top and a sloping stroke. Trace each path from its marked start. Keep the page upright so the direction stays clear.

4. Ten needs two digits

Ten is written 10: one ten and zero extra ones. Write the 1 first and the 0 beside it. Do not place one digit above the other. Count ten counters to check what your label means. Then copy the numeral on blank paper without tracing. Ask an adult whether it can be read. Practice slowly; clear form and the right amount matter more than speed.

5. Write ten for a full ten-frame.

1. Name the grouped amount. [Full ten-frame]

   1 ten; 0 extra ones

   A full frame contains ten counters.

2. Place the digits beside each other.

   10

   Their order records the ten before the extra ones.

6. Write six, then compare it with nine.

1. Follow the lower loop.

   6

   Six's loop is below the upper stroke.

2. Your turn: work this step out. Its working is at the end of the packet.

   Check against the other model.
