Parent checking guide

Keep this page separate from the learner sheets.

Use one picture type at a time. Let your child choose ten-frames, domino dots or bars. Say the station number as the train moves, then add one counter for that movement.

From 3 to 8, the moves land on 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8. Start 3 is not Move 1. Five moves means five counters.

After a guided count, press Back to Start or Try it again. Use the completed picture to choose the direction and enter the number of moves.

Observe whether your child counts Start, loses track while counting backwards, or needs each counter touched. Stop or simplify if the activity becomes frustrating. Aim for 8 secure responses out of 10 before increasing difficulty.

Answers for pages 1–3

1. 0 + 5 = 5 · 5 moves forward
Count the landings: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
2. 3 + 5 = 8 · 5 moves forward
Count the landings: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
3. 9 − 5 = 4 · 5 moves backward
Count the landings: 8, 7, 6, 5, 4.
4. 12 − 7 = 5 · 7 moves backward
Count the landings: 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5.
5. 7 + 10 = 17 · 10 moves forward
Count the landings: 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17.
6. 18 − 12 = 6 · 12 moves backward
Count the landings: 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6.

Page 4 is a blank template. Choose journeys with no more than 20 moves to fit its two counting pictures. This is an activity pack, not a numbered Basic Test.
