Hey signers, this video is all about numbers. I'm not only going to teach
you numbers but also the rules for signing numbers, so let's learn how to sign numbers.
Before we begin with numbers 0 through 30 I want to talk to you about the numbers
1 through 5. Now whenever you see it you're going to see me teach 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 this is when the
number is being signed all by itself talking about the amount of something as in I have two children,
children two, but you will also see the hand flipped whenever it's incorporated into
something or incorporated into other numbers. For instance, if I was to sign my address, my address
one-four-three-zero you're going to see the number facing forward,
not backwards like this. Whenever I'm talking about the number being incorporated
into a sign this is called the rule of nine. Once you're done with this video you can check out that
video I'll include the link in the description zero, zero. We're making the shape of a zero, 0.
One, one it's just the number one, 1. Two, two it's just the number two, 2. Three,
three, it's not like our typical number three because that is number six , 3.
Four, four it's the number four you just flip it backwards whenever it's by itself 4. Five,
five it's the number five just flipped back 5. Six
six, now remember whenever you're counting up you're going from the smallest finger
up to the biggest finger 6. Seven, seven your ring finger and your thumb are touching each other 7.
Eight, eight your middle finger is touching your thumb 8.
Nine, nine you're using your index finger and your thumb to touch each other 9.
Ten, ten your thumb is up and you're moving it back and forth 10. Eleven, eleven it's just the
index finger flicking one one, 11. Twelve, twelve it's the flicking of the two, 12. Thirteen,
thirteen it's the number three squeezed together moving in towards yourself 13. Fourteen, fourteen
you've got your four fingers together and pulling them in towards yourself 14. Fifteen,
fifteen it's the number five moving in towards yourself 15. Sixteen
sixteen there are also other ways to sign it 16 or 16, 16. Seventeen,
seventeen you can also sign 17 or 17, 17. Eighteen, eighteen it can also be signed
18 or 18,18. Nineteen, nineteen it's the number nine shaking back and forth 19.
Twenty, twenty it's your two fingers put together two to a zero 20. Twenty-one,
twenty-one, the way I remember this is like a 21 gun salute,
21. Twenty-two, twenty-two you're doing the number 2, 2 and bouncing it 22.
Twenty-three, twenty-three it's like the number 20 and 3 being put together
23. Twenty-four, twenty-four it's like the number 20 and 4 put together 24.
Twenty-five, twenty-five you've got two fingers and then five together for 25.
Twenty-six, twenty-six, 20 and 6 put together 26. Twenty-seven, twenty-seven, it's two fingers and
the seven together, 27. Twenty-eight, twenty-eight 20 and 8 together, 28. Twenty-nine, twenty-nine
is the sign for 20 and 9 put together, 29. Thirty, thirty it's the number 3 and 0 put together
30. Now let's talk about numbers 31 and up. Let's look at number 31 and 40 and I'll guide you
through why we sign it this way so you're going to take 30 and one putting three and one together to
make 31. The same will be done for 32, 33 and all double numbers are going to bounce bounce
33 this will be the same for 44, 55 ,66, 77, 88, and 99. Then 34 is 3 and 4 together 35,
36, 37, 38, 39, and then 40 for zero you'll continue on through all of the numbers up to 99.
So let's look at the tens I just showed you 40 4-0 the same will be done for 50, 60,
70, 80, 90. Now there is an extra rule whenever you're signing with 6, 7, 8, and 9 and going to
one of those numbers for instance if we had 97, you're going to do the slightest move
so that way you can see the movement between the 90 and the 7 the same can be done for 68. You'll
see this six and then your hand slightly move over to the eight it's easier to see those numbers
whenever there's a slight movement between them. Now let's look at some bigger numbers one-hundred,
100 you do the number one to a C or you can bend it just like this for 100, 100.
One-thousand, one-thousand you have the number one coming down to the middle of your hand for a
thousand 1,000. Fifty-thousand, fifty-thousand you do fifty, 5, 0 down to thousand 50,000.
Five-hundred-thirty thousand it's five into a C shaped hand then making a thirty and coming down
to thousand, 530,000. One million or one million there's a slight difference with this hand shape
versus million all four fingers or million with a flat M one million, 1,000,000. Thirty-three
million 33 v 3 3 bouncing and million going twice, 33,000,000. Two-hundred and fifty million 250
million goes twice, 250,000,000. Billion or billion, billion can be signed b i l l i o n or
billion with three hits onto your non-dominant hand billion or billion. Now let's put these
numbers into sentences. I have four people in my family. My family all together four.
Those shoes are $125. Shoes cost 125 dollars.
I'm 35 years old. Me age 35 me.
The car is forty thousand dollars. Car cost forty-thousand dollars.
I have 22 students.
Students all together 22 have me.
