Selection

Fresh independent work can move the child toward Core, Transfer, or Challenge routes; help use or confusion keeps support visible.

Help

Hints keep the child oriented to the visible structure; reveals show the path without counting as independent evidence.

Age

Age changes presentation, reading load, and dignity of the screen. Practice focus can bias compatible work without breaking prerequisites or story fit.

Story fit

  • episodes where compare written whole numbers to 100 and represent relation with <, =, and > without making base-ten proof or algebra primary.
  • episodes where arrange and insert whole numbers to 20 by magnitude.
  • episodes where place, read, compare, and compare equal-scale intervals on whole-number number lines to 100.
  • episodes where use anchors, sides, closeness, and interval membership to reason about whole numbers to 100.
