A wrong answer never just says “wrong”. Mithi offers a hint that teaches a way to think it through, like counting on in tens or using a fact you already know, and a question your child misses comes back a couple of questions later for a second go.

What your child learns

  • Adding and subtracting within 20 and within 100
  • Times tables, with tricks for the trickier ones
  • Mental maths strategies: counting on, doubles, tens and ones
  • Learning from mistakes and trying again

Play together

Ask your child to explain how they got an answer, out loud. Talking through a strategy, like “I made ten first”, helps it stick far more than speed does.
