What your child practised

  • Keeping count with marks: one mark for one thing, and tally marks in bundles of 5.
  • Counting the letters in names and number names, and comparing which is longer.
  • Noticing that a bigger number can have a shorter name (seventy is shorter than twenty-one).
  • Sorting the same things by two different rules, and reading a simple class chart.
