Number Formation Rhymes

We have been practicing writing our numbers 1-9.  To help students learn we
say the following rhymes.  Have your child write the numbers on paper, in the
air, paint them, etc. to practice this skill.

#1-  A line straight down is fun, that's the way we make a one.

#2-  Around and back on the railroad track, twoooo, twoooo, twoooo

#3-  Around a tree, around a tree, that's the way we make a three.

#4-  Down and over, and down once more, that's the way we make a four.

#5-  Go down and around, then you stop. Finish the five with line on top.

#6-  Make a curve, then a loop, there are no tricks to make the six.

#7-  Across the sky and down from heaven, that's the way we make a seven.

#8-  Make an S, don't be late, go back home and close the gate, that' the way
we make an eight.

#9-  A loop and line, that's the way we make a nine.
