In short

What is the right order for teaching a child to count?

Counting is built in stages: comparing more and fewer, recognising number symbols, counting objects, adding and subtracting with picture support, counting to one hundred, then using numbers in real life through telling time and handling money.

A child who recites numbers does not always understand amounts

Many children can say one to ten, even one to one hundred, and still look puzzled when asked to bring seven spoons. Reciting the sequence is memory. Understanding an amount is a different skill entirely.

This pack starts from the understanding of amount. Your child compares more, fewer, and the same, then meets the symbols for one to twenty while counting real objects. Only after that does addition and subtraction arrive, and even then it comes with pictures and number lines before appearing as numbers on their own.

The final section reaches into your child's own world. Telling time from the long and short hands through to digital clocks, recognising rupiah notes and working out change at the corner shop, naming flat and solid shapes, and seeing multiplication as repeated addition through pictures.

How to use it

How to use it as a daily routine

Fifteen minutes a day, with one day each week for number play without any sheets.

  1. 1

    Begin with real objects

    Use the kitchen activities inside the pack, counting spoons or comparing two glasses, before your child touches a worksheet.

  2. 2

    One sheet a day

    Choose the sheet that matches your child's stage. Answer keys are included, so marking takes two minutes.

  3. 3

    Put the posters near the table

    Number, clock, and shape posters become a quick reference when your child forgets, sparing you from constant spoken correction.

  4. 4

    Close the week playing with numbers

    Use the twenty five kitchen activities inside. Counting spoons or comparing two glasses puts numbers back into the real world.

The Lilo method

How Lilo builds a sense of number

The order follows the Singapore Math approach used across every Lilo counting material.

Objects, then pictures, then symbols

Your child holds the objects, sees the picture, and only then writes the numeral. That order gives numbers meaning instead of leaving them as memorised sounds.

The number line as a bridge

Hopping along a number line helps a child see addition as moving forward and subtraction as moving back.

Word problems from the start

Short stories appear from the very first addition sheet, so translating a sentence into a calculation becomes familiar early.

Questions from parents

Parent questions about learning to count

My child still counts on fingers. Should I stop that?

There is no need to stop it. Fingers are a reasonable tool at the early stage. The picture sheets and number lines in this pack help your child move into mental counting naturally.

Are answer keys included?

Yes, on the addition, subtraction, numbers one to twenty, and shapes sheets. You can mark quickly without recalculating.

Must the whole 120 page workbook be printed?

No. The workbook is arranged in sections, so you can print only the section in use and keep the rest for later.

My child can already add. Is this pack still useful?

Yes. The hundred board, time, money, number patterns, and early multiplication are usually untouched, and those are exactly what grade 1 draws on.

What size are the wall posters?

They are designed to print comfortably on ordinary A4, and they stay readable if you enlarge them to A3 at a print shop.

What if my child wants harder word problems?

The Lilo Maths programme continues this path with the Singapore bar model, where a word problem is drawn as bars so children can see how the numbers relate.

Related programs and packs

Numbers in this pack travel from real quantities to early multiplication. The classes below suit a child who needs things explained more than once, while the next two packs add reading and writing at the same level.
