NUMBERS 1- 10:
For everyday casual signing I tend to do 1 through 5 "palm back." If
I'm trying to emphasize something or if I'm trying to sign more clearly I do
1-5 palm forward. This isn't a "rule." It's just a general
tendency.
Some people sign the numbers 1-5 palm forward, others sign them palm back.
Some teachers make a big issue of it. Truth be told, it is not "one or the
other." I see it both ways. But if your teacher wants them a certain
way...by all means...do it her way.
