This is my students' weekend homework. (Yes, even if it is just coloring, two-year-old kindergarten students have homework in Taiwan. They're getting off pretty easy in my class, actually.) Look closely at the 5 - does it look a little odd? Vanessa, my coworker, assured me that this is a Taiwanese five, and it is commonly taught to children this way. She could not, however, explain to me why no one ever grows up to write their fives this way. I've never seen it written like this here.
