What’s included

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

How to use it

• Print it at home or school – it fits a standard A4 or US Letter page.

• Play it on screen: answers are marked instantly and children earn stars.
• Write on it on a tablet or touchscreen with a finger or stylus – no printer needed.

Tips for parents and teachers

1. 1Count real things first – spoons, socks, toy cars – then move to the pictures, so numbers stay meaningful.
2. 2Keep counters or dried beans next to the sheet so your child can build and check each answer.
3. 3Pick a regular time – after a snack, say – so practice becomes a habit rather than a battle.
