Common questions

What is the best maximum sum to start with?

Start with sums up to 5. When your learner answers those calmly, move to 10, then 20. The range matters more than the number of questions.

Should my child use fingers or counters?

Both are fine at this stage. Fingers and counters make quantities visible, and visible quantities are how number sense grows. Speed comes later, after understanding.

How often should we practise?

Short sessions a few times a week beat one long session. Eight to twelve careful questions tell you more than a full page of rushed ones.
