Writing Numbers

Here are some fun rhymes I got at a recent Maths Symposium to help children remember how to write numbers. I have been using them in the classroom.

0 - Make an oval, be a hero
That's the way to make a zero!

1 - Just a line and then you're done
That's the way to make a one!

2 - Around and across and then you're through
That's the way to make a two!

3 - Around the tree, around the tree
Number three looks like a B!

4 - Down and across and down some more
That's the way to make a four!

5 - Short neck, belly fat
Number five wears a hat!

6 - Around and around until it sticks
That's the way to make a six!

7 - Across the sky and down from heaven
That's the way to make a seven!

8 - Make an S and close the gate
That's the way to make an eight!

9 - First a circle, then a line
That's the way to make a nine!
