Lower Primary Tips
At this stage, students often struggle with the abstract nature of "carrying" a ten. Use physical counters alongside our worksheets to demonstrate the concept.
Focus on accuracy first, then speed. Our generators allow you to adjust difficulty levels so you can grow with your student.
Parent CornerPractice Daily
Consistency is better than intensity. 15-20 mins daily is ideal.
Use Real Life
Let them count change at the grocery store to reinforce money math.
