What children learn in Level 2

Sometimes you can see how many without counting! How many dots? 3! You knew right away. That's a quick look.
Dots on a card make shapes you can learn. Four dots sit in the four corners. Five dots are the four corners and one in the middle.
This is a five frame. It has 5 boxes. 4 boxes are full and 1 is empty, so there are 4 counters.
A domino has two sides. This one has 2 dots and 1 dot. Together, that's 3 dots!
In a quick look, the card hides fast! If you need to, tap Look again to see it one more time.
Try it with a grown-up! Hold up some fingers fast, then hide them. Can the other person say how many without counting?
