Numerals 6-10
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can correctly form the numerals 6-10.
Key learning points
- A numeral is a digit that represents a number.
- The numerals 6, 7, 8 and 9 are made using one continuous movement and without lifting your pencil.
- The formation of the numeral 10 requires you to lift your pencil as it has two separate digits.
- The numerals 6 to 10 all sit on the baseline.
Keywords
Numeral - a symbol or character used to represent a number
Digit - refers to a single number from 0 to 9, like the digits we use when counting or writing numbers
Continuous motion - the smooth and uninterrupted motion we make when writing, without lifting our writing tool from the paper
Common misconception
The numeral 8 can be challenging for children and they may start to lift their pencil to form the numeral.
Ensure there are lots of opportunities for the children to trace the numeral 8 so they can become familiar with how to form it without lifting their pencil.
Teacher tip
Having images around the classroom of the numerals with arrows to show the direction to start the formation can be very beneficial for the children.
