How daily practice works
1. Answer ten
Work through a fresh, balanced set for this year level.
2. Learn from mistakes
Use the tip and worked solution, then retry the question.
3. Build your record
Complete all ten to add the day to your total.
Support at home
Ask the learner to estimate before calculating. An estimate catches place-value mistakes and helps them decide whether a final answer is reasonable.
