PRIMARY 2,3 and 4:
PRIMARY 5, 6 and 7:
One of the most important skills in numeracy is to be able to count forward and backward.
It is vital to not always start at 1:
- Can you count in 1s starting from 3?
- Can you skip count in 10s starting from 50?
- Can you count backwards in1s from 98?
Lots of games, taking turns counting or passing an object can make it fun and part of your daily routine!
Catchy songs can help fluency too:
Times tables practice is also crucial:
