How 5 is drawn on this sheet
The numbered arrows on 5 show 3 strokes. Stroke 1 starts at the top at the left and goes down. Stroke 2 curves out to the right and round the bottom. Stroke 3 is the top line, from the left to the right. There is also a blank row to write 5 on its own. Under the numeral rows, the word five has its own model and dotted copies. At the bottom there are 5 dots to color in a ten frame; the other 5 circles stay dashed.

Questions and answers
How many strokes are in 5?
On this sheet the arrows on 5 show 3 strokes. Each number sits where its stroke starts, and the arrow shows which way it goes.
Can I turn the stroke arrows off on the 5 sheet?
Yes. Under Options, set Show stroke arrows to Off. They start on for Ages 3-4 and 5-6 and off for Ages 7+. Sloped print has none.
Will the number 5 sheet print on A4 paper?
Yes. Under Options, choose US Letter or A4 before you download, and the rows are laid out for that paper.
Is there a page like this for every number, not only 5?
Every number from 1 to 20 has its own page: the 1 to 20 row on this page links to all of them. The number tracing worksheets page also has a ready-made set from 0 to 20.
What are the lines on each row of the 5 sheet?
A solid top line, a dashed midline, a solid baseline and a dotted line below it, as on the letter tracing sheets.
