Why this level

Step: Step 2 · TraceAround ages 4–5 (guide)

Spotting a repeating rule underpins number sequences, shape sequences and times tables alike. No reading required, so it comes early. Saying it aloud makes the rule audible.

Ages are only a guide. Children of the same age can do different things, so each card also shows what a child can already do.

The sheet title and the note for grown-ups are printed in English. Words inside the activity itself stay in Japanese or Traditional Chinese.

For grown-ups

  • Read the row aloud in order.
  • Ask "which comes next?"
  • Trace the row with a finger to check.
