How much time should Kindergarten teachers spend on students practicing writing their digits? It seems our series’ student workbooks focus too much on writing the digits, and as a math coach, I wasn’t sure how to advise my K teachers on this. Thank you for any input.

They need to spend time writing them so that they learn how to make the numbers but then they need to be using those numerals in context. So anytime they count, they should write the amount, not just say it. When they subitize, they should write the number, not just say it. So once they learn how to write the numbers they need to be doing it all the time as they work with quantities. They should see visuals, touch physical items, say the numbers, and write the numbers all throughout the year.
