How Parents Can Use This Practice

Ask your child to count each group first, then say what changed: one more, two more, same number, or a matching amount.

Keep practice sessions short and positive.
Ask your child to explain the pattern or relationship in simple words.
Use missed questions to talk through the reasoning step, not just the answer.
