Tips for parents and teachers

1. 1Stop while it is still fun: five focused minutes beat twenty tired ones, and the rest can wait for tomorrow.
2. 2Count real things first – spoons, socks, toy cars – then move to the pictures, so numbers stay meaningful.
3. 3Use the on-screen version for instant feedback when your child is working alone.
