Number Formation Cards Free Printable
Teach preschool and kindergarten students correct number formation with this freebie! Students will trace the number, count the dots in the ten frames, trace the number word and then write the number on the handwriting lines. The resource includes cards for the numbers 0-20.
These would make fun playdough mats too! Students could roll the play dough into snakes and make the large number and then write the numbers on the line. It would be best to laminate the cards or slide them into wipe and write pockets so the play dough doesn’t stick to the paper.
Simple Prep!
This writing practice is so easy to prep! Just print it out and cut the cards apart. Then laminate them so students can use dry erase markers to practice writing. Or you could keep four cards to a page and slide them into wipe and write pockets for even simpler prep.

More Ideas to Use the Number Cards
These number tracing cards provide students with three different forms of exposure to the same number. That is very beneficial for students just learning their numbers or students that are struggling with their math skills.
To add more fine motor skills practice to the number resource, have students use play dough to make the number. They can roll it into snakes and form the number or smash pieces and fill the number.
Another option would be to have students use a small manipulative to build the number with like pom poms, mini erasers, beads, or jewels. Just make sure you don’t use small pieces with students who still put things in their mouths.
Another fine motor idea would be to have the kids write the numbers in a salt tray after they complete the tracing card. Make a sand tray by pouring craft sand into a small tray or pencil box. Students will use their fingers to write in the tray. Add fun manipulatives to make it even more interesting!
Differentiate the number formation tracing cards by splitting them into groups for varying levels in your classroom. Example: a bag of the numbers 1-10, 11-20, and a set of 0-20. Students will also be practicing number sense, number recognition, counting, and ten frames with this freebie!
These number formation cards are a great addition to your handwriting resources. Your students will be so excited to practice numbers this year!
