Description

Some children can recite “1, 2, 3…” but do not yet understand what the numbers mean. Number sense — knowing that 5 is more than 3, seeing three dots without counting, matching one object to one number — is the foundation of all later mathematics. Children who find this hard need more time with real objects before pictures and symbols.

This course shows you everyday games that build number sense step by step, and the signs that tell you when to ask for more help.

This course supports learning; it does not diagnose. If a difficulty continues despite good teaching and practice, talk to the school and a qualified specialist (educational psychologist, speech and language therapist, occupational therapist or doctor). Free for every family and school.

Prerequisites: None — an adult (parent, teacher or carer) learns and practises with the child.
