FAQ

What should children know before lengths?

It helps if children are comfortable with adding and subtracting numbers to 100.

What can we do if lengths feels hard?

Keep the unit with the number. Add or subtract centimetres with centimetres and metres with metres.

How much practice is enough?

A focused round of 5 to 10 minutes is usually enough for second graders. Stop while the child can still explain one step clearly.
