Aren't numbers wonderful? They arrange themselves so nicely into patterns and always follow the rules! (Not like those tricky letters!) Rote counting is all very well, but what we're striving for here is an understanding of what the numbers represent and how they relate to each other - it's called 'number sense'. The other great thing about this is that you can use that understanding to solve problems! We've also been discovering that there can be many different strategies used to arrive at the solution - some are more efficient than others - but as long as you arrive at the right solution it's all good!
