Practice the different movements and palm orientations involved with signing multiples of 10 and multiples of 11. How is that different from signing numbers 41-49, 51-59, 61-69, etc.?
Multiples of 10
- 30,40,50 start with 3,4,5 facing out. Then the extended fingers and thumb close repeatedly
- With 60, the thumb and pinky finger remain in contact while extended fingers close repeatedly
Multiples of 11
- The palm faces down
- Those numbers are made with a stamping movement going sideways toward your dominant side
Numbers 31-39
- These numbers are all slightly forward. Sign the first digit of the number with the palm facing out. The hand then moves slightly forward while signing the second digit. This is the same movement as you learned for numbers 23-29.
