Knowing numbers is important when communicating in American Sign Language (ASL). Cardinal (counting) numbers 1-25 are shown here. The palm of the hand faces toward you for numbers 1-5. This changes if you are signing about time, age or order (1st, 2nd, etc.). Take the first step learning cardinal number signs 1-25.Instead of showing only hands, our posters indicate the relationship between the body and hands. The poster size is 16 x 20 but can be printed in a 8.5 x 11 size. Print big, or small.
