Early elementary: where to start

Counting, adding, taking away, and knowing what the digits mean.

15 questions — 3 on each of 5 strands, for reception, grade 1, grade 2. Each strand starts in the middle and moves up or down with the answers, so a child at the right level will miss roughly half of them. That is the design, not a problem.

You will not be told right or wrong along the way, and there is no second try at a question. If one is beyond you, press I'm not sure and move on — that is more useful than a guess.
