Keywords

Digit - refers to a single number from 0 to 9, like the digits we use when counting or writing numbers
Continuous motion - the smooth and uninterrupted motion we make when writing, without lifting our writing tool from the paper
Common misconception
The numeral 8 can be challenging for children and they may start to lift their pencil to form the numeral.
Ensure there are lots of opportunities for the children to trace the numeral 8 so they can become familiar with how to form it without lifting their pencil.
