Home Schooling, Early Years: Numbers

Over the last couple of weeks, we started writing down the numbers we were doing in cards.

O deducts and adds up to 5, reasonably easy. Sometimes he agrees to use his fingers but prefers not to.  He loves ticking off his correct answers and bargains for being correct 'on the whole'.  I think he finds the whole thing quite easy , esp if he's in a 'mathy' mood.

The next steps are to explore swapping number around in case of '2+9' and things like 18-8, 30+7, 50+6, 90+7;
