What your child practises

How we explain it

Children can open this short lesson before they practise.

  1. Count each thing once. Do not skip any.
  2. To count on, say the next number: 14, then 15.
  3. Counting back goes the other way: 15, 14, 13.

Example: What is 1 more than 14? Count on from 14. The next number is 15. Answer: 15
