For the grown-up

Put the school day in order · 2 minutes to read

Answers, and what a wrong one tells you

A

1. 15 If your child writes 16, they may have jumped over the gap. Count on one from 14.

2. 8 If your child writes 2, they took 3 from 5. Here the two parts join together, so add them.

3. 4 If your child writes 16, they added 10 and 6. Count the empty spaces in the ten frame instead.

B

1. Register If your child circles Home time, ask what happens at the start of the day. Then ask what comes last.

C

1. Home time If your child circles Lunch, ask what happens at the very end of the school day.

2. Lunch If your child circles Story time, read the clue again. Children eat lunch in the middle of the day.

3. Story time If your child circles Register, read the clue again. Jun’s day starts with a book, so story time comes first.

4. Play time If your child circles Home time, read the clue again. Running in the yard after lunch is play time.

D

1. Coming into school If your child circles Going home, ask what must happen before the children can go home. Coming in is first.

E

1. Look for: Each school has its own timetable, so both orders can be right. If your child says only one can be right, remind them that each school makes its own timetable.

Words to use

Say“Which thing happens first? What comes next?”
Instead of“Tell them the right order straight away.”

After the sheet

At tea time, ask your child to tell you the day in order, using first, next and last.

Tick what your child got right in StudyDen. Anything missed comes back in a later Look back box, so there's no need to redo the sheet.
