What’s included

• An answer key you can print with the sheet or on its own

Made for ages 4–8. That’s Pre-K – Grade 3 in the US, Reception – Year 4 in England, Nursery 1 – Primary 3 in Nigeria and LKG – Class 3 in India.

How to use it

Tips for parents and teachers

1. 1Keep counters or dried beans next to the sheet so your child can build and check each answer.
2. 2Stop while it is still fun: five focused minutes beat twenty tired ones, and the rest can wait for tomorrow.
3. 3Let your child mark their own work with the answer key, then talk through any mistakes together.
