How to use this worksheet
- Start at the dark dot on the bottom line, rise in a round arch to near the top line and come back down.
- Trace to the end of the dashes, then keep adding arches of the same width in the empty band.
- Finish every arch on the bottom line before starting the next.
What this worksheet teaches
Large arches are made with a big, smooth wrist movement and teach a child to keep a curve round at the top instead of letting it collapse into a point. The clockwise over-the-top direction is the same one used in the humps of n, m and h. In the free half, a 5–6 year old must plan the width of each arch alone, so the row quickly shows whether the spacing is even.
Variation to try
Count the spans: before starting the free half, your child guesses how many arches will fit to the end of the row, then counts them afterward. The guess trains planning, the count checks the spacing.
