Notice, not score

About it

At the end, there is no score. Instead, say one thing you noticed: "You counted the spoons twice to check." "You drew the groups as circles."

Write it on a small card if you like, with the date. Over a few weeks, the cards show how the child's ways of thinking change, which tells you more than a mark would.

One question

How does the five minutes end?

Say it back
A lesson is kept once you've answered the question and written at least 8 words. Nobody grades it; it stays on this device.
