the GKIDS Readiness Check

4
00:00:10.844 --> 00:00:13.913
is your child's ability

without skipping
or duplicating any numbers.

6
00:00:17.016 --> 00:00:20.220
Counting helps children
build number sense,

7
00:00:20.286 --> 00:00:22.655
which is the ability
to use numbers

8
00:00:22.722 --> 00:00:26.326
and understand how numbers work in different contexts.

Reciting numbers to 20
in sequence for a student

13
00:00:36.536 --> 00:00:39.839
is the basic building block

adding how many,
how many more for students

15
00:00:43.443 --> 00:00:45.645
