Free practice quizzes › Prep Maths quiz › Counting to 20
Here is the ground the questions cover. Prep counting extends the number sequence to 20 and beyond: saying the numbers forwards in order, counting back from ten, reading and writing numerals to 20, and counting a collection of up to 20 objects accurately. Counting on from a number other than one is the bridge to addition, so the curriculum asks children to start at, say, seven and keep going.
The items are tagged to the Victorian Curriculum for Prep, so a score here reflects the standard a Prep class is working to, not a generic online level.
A wrong answer is more useful than a right one if you know why it happened. In sessions with Prep students, these are the patterns our tutors see most:
Spotting which one applies is the useful part; the fix is usually quick once the misunderstanding is out in the open.
If the quiz shows a gap, more of the same worksheets rarely fixes it. Try these instead:
At this age, ten minutes of playful, concrete practice beats a worksheet. Use real objects, talk through what is happening and stop while it is still fun.
