Writing digits 0-9
Form digits 0-9 correctly and legibly
Teaching approaches
Gakuva’s recommended starting approach is selected. You can still compare every option.
1 approach
Digits have standard starting points and directions. We want 0–9 readable and not reversed. Model first, trace next, then write independently.
Spend about 15 minutes modeling, tracing, and writing digits 0–9.

Number Frames
Supplemental numeral–quantity link only. Build 0–9 with counters, then write each digit on paper; the app does not teach stroke order for digits.
Proof: Save a frame snapshot for a digit 0–9 and a photo of the handwritten digit beside it.
Teddy Numbers
Supplemental quantity practice for 0–9 before writing digits. After each round, pause to write the numeral by hand.
Proof: Save a game screenshot for a number 0–9 and a photo of the matching handwritten digit.
