This number 1 formation worksheet gives your child one big, friendly number to master, the number 1, which is written as the word one. The giant number 1 is drawn as a wide track with a dashed path down the middle, numbered steps that show where each stroke begins, and arrows that show which way the pencil should travel. Children start at step 1 and follow the path all the way through, so the number 1 is formed the right way, every time.
