Meine Tochter ist in der ersten Klasse der Grundschule und die Arbeitsblätter, die sie verwenden, bringen den Kindern bei, die Zahl 9 eher wie ein g zu schreiben. Ist das in Deutschland üblich? Oder handelt es sich um eine veraltete Schreibweise aus Gründen der Handschrift aus einer Zeit, als die meisten Kinder mit Füllfederhaltern schrieben? Es erinnert mich ein wenig an die gleiche Situation in Großbritannien, wo man die 4 und die 7 auf zwei unterschiedliche Arten schreiben kann, obwohl dies ausschließlich auf den Handschriftstil der 70er Jahre zurückzuführen war und die Schulen Kursivschrift lehrten. Ist es dasselbe oder wird die Zahl 9 in Deutschland üblicherweise wie ag geschrieben?

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.
