How it is taught

0:00 of 1:50

A numeral is a written number.

The numeral 2 means two.

Read it: Hear the word, write the numeral

Listen: six. The frame shows 6 counters, so we write 6.

  1. Listen to the number word: six.
  2. Count the counters: 6.
  3. Write the numeral: 6.

Each number word has its own numeral.

The counters show how many the word means, so you can count to check.

If you are not sure of the word, count: the count tells you the numeral.

Hear the word, count to check, write the numeral.

Writing 9 for six, because 6 turned over looks like 9.

Count the counters: 6. The 6 has its loop at the bottom.

Type the numeral for: four. — 4. Four is written 4.
