Mia figlia frequenta il primo anno della Grundschule e i fogli di lavoro che stanno usando insegnano ai bambini a scrivere il numero 9 più come una g. È comunemente usato in Germania? Oppure è un modo obsoleto di scriverlo per il gusto della scrittura a mano in un’epoca in cui la maggior parte dei bambini scriveva con penne stilografiche? Mi ricorda un po’ la stessa situazione nel Regno Unito dove possono scrivere il 4 e il 7 in due modi diversi, anche se questo era interamente dovuto allo stile di scrittura a mano degli anni ’70 e alle scuole che insegnavano il corsivo. È la stessa cosa oppure in Germania il numero 9 si scrive comunemente come ag?

Hi there,
Yes, that is how I was taught to write 9 at least.
looks more like a small G
No – that is a lowercase g
Yes this is the standard way to write a 9 in Germany.
yes this is common. Fonts used in the first years of elementary school also highlight differences between numbers and letters more than normal fonts to make it easier for kids to distinguish between them.
In most federal states your kid will also be required to write with a pen in the coming years.
9g
the g is half a letter height down with the hook below the character baseline while the nine is standing on the basline with the hook
That looks like a lowercase g. I definitely learned to write the number 9 without the little serife in the upper right section. Funny enough I just checked youtube for “how to write the number 9” and found videos where the serife is explicitly included, like this one: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QDXYpW8GvM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QDXYpW8GvM)
Judging by the previews on the author’s website the 9 consistently looks like that so it’s probably just the font they used. I’d say it does look a little like a g but it’s fine.

This is how I have learned writing it more than 40 years ago in Germany. I guess that’s how you write Nine in cursive.
Yes, this is the normal way.
I was once told off by a supervisor in a job I once had, decades ago, for writing my 9s the English way, with a straight tail: apparently people were misreading them as 4s. And on reflection, I get the point: while in most cases sloppily-written letters can be deciphered based on context, that’s less likely the case with digits. Somebody born in 2004 is already 21 years old, but somebody born in 2009 is only 16.
Normal. I had to train myself to write them that way to fit in (and not mess up my phone number!) Also the #1. Dragging the little point on the left all the way down was very hard for me to get used to. It’s like a capital A without the line in the middle.
I don’t remember ever seeing the number 9 written like this. It looks like a lowercase g in the image.
Well that’s a small g. You can see it at the extended line on top of the circle and then bottom part is a bit off too
Yes, that’s how we all write it. Please be aware of the cross bar in the seven and tne hook on top of the one. People are not happy when you don’t write them and might mistake your seven for a one, and your one for an l or I
Really? THIS is common nowadays? With this little stroke going straight onthe richt and a little higher than the round on the top? What nonsense it that?
THIS is a nine:999999999
And this is what’s in the sheet: gggggg
This ist not a nine, its a gee … … …
Yes, and don’t forget the name on top. Greetings from a teacher. 😉
g
Yes it’s the standard way. Funny thing is I’m German, but went to English language schools for a few years, so I had to write the numbers 1, 7, and 9 the “English way” because teachers couldn’t read my German numbers. Back in Germany I switched numbers 1 and 7 back to the Getman way. But I still write the number 9 the English/American way to this day almost 40 years later.
Yes,it’s THE standard way to write 9 worldwide, not only in Germany.
That’s how a 9 is written. 9 versus g similar but different placement and also stroke pattern. You can see that your kiddo is not yet placing the strokes properly. For the nine it’s a circle (/oval) and then going down for the bottom part, it looks like they are intertwining two half circles. The down stroke of the g is straight while the 9 has no straight line.
How else would one write a 9?
