A gentle first path

Begin by counting visible objects and matching each group to its numeral. A number line then gives those values a position: moving forward adds, and moving backward subtracts. When those ideas feel familiar, work with sums and differences up to 20.

How to use these resources

Choose one short online practice session first. If a child needs to see the quantities, return to counting or the number line before repeating a fact. Print a worksheet for quiet pencil work, then check the separate answer key together. A wrong answer is a clue about the strategy to revisit, not a reason to speed up.
