What your child practised

  • Seeing how many are in a small group (up to 6) at a glance, without counting one by one.
  • Zero: counting back to 0, and knowing that 0 means none.
  • Making 5 and 10 in different ways: 2 and 3, 6 and 4, 7 and 3, 9 and 1.
  • Counting from 11 to 20 as 10 and some more, and finding the bigger or smaller of two numbers.
