Before, After, and Between: what children learn
Knowing a number's neighbors on the number line — what comes right before or after it — is a quick way to check counting fluency without writing out a whole sequence.
Before, After, and Between: worked example
What number comes right before 15? 14
The number right before 15 is one less than 15, which is 14.
Before, After, and Between: a common mistake to watch for
Kids sometimes mix up "before" and "after," writing the number that comes after instead — picturing the number line moving left-to-right can help.
Before, After, and Between: how to help at home or in class
Cut a strip of paper into ten squares, number them in order, and then flip one square face down. Your child names the hidden number by looking at its neighbors. Next hide two squares that sit side by side, or ask for the number sitting between two others. Sliding a finger left and right along the strip helps. When your child answers quickly without recounting from one, try the same game with a hundred chart.
