Math topics for ages 5–6

Number sense first, then the arithmetic and the shapes, measures and data work that school actually examines. Each topic ends in a Practice Zone that builds a fresh question set every visit.

First-year school work, written to be read aloud. Short sentences, everything a toy the child touches, and nothing timed or scored.
