Numbers

Count objects up to 20

Touch each object once and say the next number. The last number you say is how many there are. Group in fives to count faster.

Before, after and between

The number just after is 1 more. The number just before is 1 less. "Between" sits in the middle.

Builds on: Count objects up to 20

Try it:

  1. What comes just before 73? → 72
  2. What comes just before 60? → 59

More, less and equal

Compare tens first, then ones. The open mouth of > or < always eats the bigger number.

Try it:

  1. Choose the sign: 34 ☐ 48 → <
  2. Choose the sign: 8 ☐ 8 → =

Try it:

  1. 9 + 7 = ? → 16

Shapes & patterns

Name flat shapes

Count the sides and corners: a triangle has 3, a square has 4 equal sides, a rectangle has 4 sides with opposite sides equal, a circle has none.

Continue a pattern

Find the part that repeats (the core), then keep repeating it.

Measurement

Longer and shorter

Line things up at the same starting point, then see which one reaches further.
