Free Number Formation Rhymes

July 27, 2014 misskindergarten 17 Comments

I remember going through school and loving math. It was one of my favorite subjects! I felt really confident in math, which I think is why I loved it so much. As a teacher, I want my students to love math as much as I do so I knew I needed to find ways to help make number formation fun and my students just love learning these number formation rhymes!

One of the first lessons we work on in our math block is number practice. We always start with learning correct number formation with these rhymes.

Number Formation Rhymes

My amazing teammates and I make learning numbers fun by using number formation poems to teach our students how to write numbers correctly. It also really helps our students understand exactly how each number needs to be formed. I turned the rhymes into number formation posters that you can print them out and hang them in your classroom too!

You can grab these for FREE in my shop below! I included two poem options for number 5 and number 7, you can choose which works best for your students.

Number Formation Practice

After we learn how to correctly number formation, we practice writing the numbers with our finger in the air, on the carpet, and even on our neighbor’s back 😉

My teammate was also able to get our All About the Number practice pages printed on large poster paper for us. We hung the poster on our door and had our students practice the number and number formation before leaving for the day.

You can download this number poster {here}. Then print it at an office supply store like Staples so you can get a large poster size. We laminated ours so we can write on it using a dry-erase marker.

Number Practice Printables

During our math groups, we work on number formation using these Number Practice Printables. Each number {0-20} comes with two practice pages and are aligned to Common Core standards.

The math practice pages 0-10 also include the number formation poems from our posters so that the students can review it at home with mom and dad. Why we didn’t think of this before, we will never know! {I also included a customizable page as well, so you CAN edit these poems if you need to!} 

On each page, the students will:

  • trace and write the number
  • show the number in a ten frame
  • color in the number word
  • find the number using a crayon, marker or bingo dauber {we’ll switch it up to keep it interesting!}
  • build the number on the unifix cubes
  • hop to the number on the number line {we start using the number line when we practice addition and I realized last year that most of my students had no idea how to use it!}

On the second page, the students will:

  • create a sentence using the number word and any noun
  • illustrate the sentence in the frame
  • color the correct number of stars

These pages can be printed back to back or can be used separately. You can also decide to print them on cardstock and laminate them or stick them in a sheet protector and have your students complete them using a dry-erase marker. I also included a bunch of math practice printables for my students to use during math groups.

You can find the number practice pages and printables in my shop!

I’m working really hard to learn as much as I ca I’m working really hard to learn as much as I can about discrimination and racism and how to help teach my own daughters and my students how to continue making a change and moving in the right direction. I’m still learning. I make mistakes, and I learn more and more every single day. @misselgendy shared this post from @halpey1 and it really resonated with me. I thought it showed a great way to get your students involved in how they can help, not just on MLK day, or during Black History Month, but every day. Sometimes as a teacher and as an “influencer”, I feel pressured to do and say things that I’m not 100% confident with, but I’m learning. Just like I tell my students, continue to learn and continue to try your best. ❤️❤️❤️
