Hand Position / Palm Orientation

Hand positioning when signing numbers can be confusing! We’ve noted palm orientation guidelines for each set of numbers in the lists below. For some numbers, your palm orientation will either face toward or away from your body as you are signing numbers depending on why you are signing them. For example, if you are signing a quantity, the palm of your hand should face away from your body while you are signing the number(s). If you are just signing a number, then the position of your hand varies depending on the number you are signing.
