How to sign "numbers" in ASL

How to Sign "Numbers"

“Numbers” is signed by repeatedly touching and twisting the tips of your fingers and thumbs together from each hand:

  • Form both hands into flat-O shapes (fingertips touching thumb).
  • Bring your hands together so fingertips meet.
  • Twist slightly and tap fingertips together a couple of times.

Tips

  • The motion looks like numbers “mixing” or “exchanging.”
  • Use steady, small movements — don’t rush it.

Common Mistakes

  • Just tapping — remember to twist slightly each time.
  • Hands too far apart — fingertips must touch.

Think: “Numbers meet and mingle.”
