Lesson Types

In Semesters 1 and 2 of the curriculum, you will see these types of lessons - more than once a session in some cases:

1.  Quantity

With lessons on quantity, you can help your child understand the reality of numbers (instead of just the symbols - 1, 2, etc. - that represent them). This will give your child a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts.

To make lessons more exciting, you can use different icons - using images that appeal to your child is an effective way of keeping your child interested in math!

2.  Equations

Little Math uses icons, the numeric symbols of the number and the written word to teach mathematical operations. Depending on your child's level of learning, you can teach simple two-step equations, and advance to using up to 5 integers for operations.

3.  Numerals

Little Math also supports teaching math using written numerals, so your child can learn to be recognize the written representations of the number quantities.
