The right hand takes 6, 7, 8, 9 and 0. After this lesson you can type every number on the number row.
The right index finger types 6 and 7, the middle finger 8, the ring finger 9 and the little finger 0. Practise with the numbers 1 to 5 mixed in, so that both hands work together.
If you do a lot of data work, also learn the numeric keypad on the right side of a full size keyboard. It uses the same finger logic, with the index finger on 4, 5 and 6 on the middle row.
Watch for this: Typing 0 with the ring finger. It belongs to the little finger.
