Before you begin
You can begin by counting aloud with an adult. Gather small objects such as blocks or pencils so each number has something you can point to.
How to study these lessons
Read one question aloud, build it with objects, and draw what happened. Ask the learner to tell the story of the answer before writing a number sentence.
Work at your own pace. Open a hint when you need it, then try again before revealing the complete explanation.
Grade labels are starting-point guides; school sequences vary. University lessons introduce selected topics and assume the prerequisites listed on each page.
