Counting, number recognition and the very first sums need more repetition than any single lesson can give, and a 64-page workbook is simply somewhere for that repetition to happen.
This is the second level of the Manoj Publications maths activity strand, positioned between the 3+ and 5+ titles. Number work for four-year-olds generally stays within small quantities, with room on the page for tracing figures and matching amounts to groups of objects. The paperback binding lies open without being held, which matters when a small hand is already busy with a pencil. Keeping the graded levels in one series also makes it simple to move a child up a step, or back one, without changing the way the exercises look.
A summary of the offering:
• Early number work pitched at the four-plus stage
• 64 pages of practice in a flat-opening paperback
• Level two of a graded series, so progression is built in
• Space on the page for tracing and marking answers
Parents building a home maths routine and preschool teachers will both find it straightforward, published by Manoj Publications and available at Boipoka.
