numbers 1-10

NUMBERS 1- 5:
When done in isolation, numbers 1 through 5 are generally done "palm back." 
For example, if someone asks you how many brothers you have and you have "2" then you would reply by holding up the number 2 with the palm facing backward.

# 1 through 5:
 
.

NOTE:  When done as part of a series, numbers 1 through five are generally done palm forward.  For example, numbers such as a phone number, an identification number, a social security number, etc. are generally all done palm forward.
 When we are signing a series of numbers (such as a phone number) we do the numbers 1 through 5 palm forward. 

We also do 1 through 5 palm forward when they are part of multiple digit numbers such as "51."
Using the same hand you would show a 5 and then a 1 (very quickly).
