Last week we were going over more of the same, in terms of numbers.
O still gets confused over these two topics, adding and subtracting in 5s and going up or down to next 10 in chain. He often gets stuck on things like 62-4, going back to 69 after 'two steps down' , instead of 59. No rush, we'll get there.
It always amuses me how he sometimes just 'gets' really tricky concept in numbers, yet struggles with the easier ones. Without looking back at my notes, these two are his 'stickiest' concepts to date, though!
In terms of fives, I think he pretty much understands it, but doesn't yet know how to count up, and , particularly down in fives, not fluently. We working on it. It seems easier to wait for the concept to settle after all, instead of waiting for him to count up or down.
