Number Formation Video!

Learning to write numbers can be tricky for our littlest students.  Years ago a coworker had a great trick for teaching letter formation.  He assigned a sound to each number, based on the type of lines in the number.  Curved lines make woop sounds, circles are bubbles and straight lines say errrr (It is much easier to understand when you watch the video!).  This has made number formation so much easier for my students!

Check out the video for the number sounds!

Plus it is very cute to hear them make the sound while they are writing their numbers!

How do you teach number formation?
