FAQ

What should children know before order numbers?

It helps if children are comfortable with counting forward and backward to 100.

What can we do if order numbers feels hard?

Think in tens first, then look at the ones. A number like 47 is 4 tens and 7 ones.

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.
