I just taught my students how to write numbers 1-10 in Chinese. The students used a felt tip pen to resemble a calligraphy brush. The students spent time practicing each number. During math time my students paired up and created math problems with another child in the class. Each pair would roll a dice, whatever number the dice landed on, the student would write down that number in Chinese and also the number their partner rolled. Then the students would have to use those numbers to write an addition or subtraction fact to complete. The students enjoyed writing math problems with Chinese numbers.
