What this lesson shows
12 counters given away one at a time: 11, 10, 9. Each number is one less.
The worked example
The lesson works this one step by step: back from 12, 4 numbers. Then your kid tries one like it on paper.
The steps
- Start at the number
- Take one away
- Say one less
- Keep going
Helping at home
Read each box aloud. Your kid says the first number, then counts back out loud and writes each number in the next box. Try it with snacks: eat one, count back one.
If your kid gets stuck
Say the first number, then one less each time.
Watch it with Lux
