— About this pack

Numbers as quantities first, digits last.

Children meet each number first as a picture (a dot pattern, ten-frame, finger configuration), then as a quantity to compare, then as part of a number bond. Digits arrive last — because that is how children with number-sense difficulty actually get there.

The bundle is divided into four blocks of fifteen pages each: 1–5, 6–10, 11–15, 16–20. Each block follows the same internal pattern (subitise, compare, partition, bond, digit) so the children build a routine they can lean on while the numbers themselves get harder.

Most appropriate for Grade R end-of-year through Grade 1, with strong Grade 2 catch-up application. Several pages also work for Grade R early-introduction.

— What's inside

Sixty-four pages, four blocks.

Block 01

One to five

Subitise, compare, partition, bond, digit. Fifteen pages building the foundation the rest of the bundle leans on.

Block 02

Six to ten

The five-and-a-bit structure introduced through ten-frames, with bond pages that anchor doubles and near-doubles.

Block 03

Eleven to fifteen

Tens-and-units introduced as a quantity, not a column. Two-frame layouts with the place-value reading made visible.

Block 04

Sixteen to twenty

Consolidation of the bundle — bonds to twenty, missing-number reasoning, and a short cumulative review.

Throughout

Subitising cards

Two pages of cut-out subitising cards per block. Designed to live in a pencil case and come out in three-minute bursts.

Throughout

Teacher routines

Short scripts at the front of each block so the language stays consistent across teachers and across the term.
