How to teach number formation with our posters

Take a poster and place it in view of your students - perhaps on your teaching easel or board. 

Read the poem to your students and point to the number, showing students the path of motion. Repeat several times. 
Number Poem Posters
Ask students to put their finger in the air and air trace with you. Ask them to write the number on the mat/carpet too! Encourage them to say the poem with you too.
Posters for Kindergarten
Use the posters and poems to help students learn to write numbers independently. Provide experience for students to:

Make the numbers with play dough 

Laminate the posters to use as play dough mats. Students could cover the number with small objects too - to get a feeling of the shape and trajectory of the line.
