About this book
Count it, show it, compare it, order it.
Four short modules help young learners count carefully, see 11 to 20 as ten and some more, compare groups by matching, and put numbers in order. Every module follows the same seven LessonCrest steps, with help that fades as confidence grows. No timed drills.
- Count each object once and know how many
- Teen numbers on ten-frames, with words and numerals
- More, fewer and the same by matching
- Before, after and between on a number path
- Mixed review, extra practice and an exit check
- Answers that explain why, with help for common mistakes

The steps in this book
- Step 1: Get Ready
Check the skills you need before you begin. If something feels tricky, an adult can help you start in the right place.

- Step 3: See It
Watch the idea being used, one step at a time, in a worked example.

Practice with prompts and help cues. The help gets smaller as you get stronger.

Practice on your own with different kinds of questions, and explain your thinking.
- Step 6: Look Back
Look back at earlier learning so it stays strong, then check where to go next.
