3 things to notice when choosing a starting point.

Text on this infographic:

  • The task makes sense

    After one short example, your child knows what to try.

  • They can make a start

    They can point, move, or mark one answer of their own.

  • There is room to try again

    If it feels too hard, choose a simpler starting point.

Start with a manageable challenge, not a perfect score.
