Frequently Asked Questions
How can my child easily remember number names from 1 to 100?
By learning the basic tens (twenty, thirty, forty, etc.) and units (one to nine), children can easily combine them to read and write any number name.
What is skip counting and why is it important?
Skip counting is counting by jumping numbers (like 2, 4, 6 or 10, 20, 30). It helps students calculate faster and understand multiplication later.
How do I teach grouping of tens and ones to a Class 2 student?
Use daily objects like pencils, beads, or buttons. Ask them to make bundles or groups of 10 items to show tens, and keep the remaining loose items as ones.
