The table shows the numbers in order.
You count in steps and mark every number that you land on.
Two different step sizes get two different marks.
Example: When counting in threes, mark with a cross: 3, 6, 9, 12.
When counting in fours, circle: 4, 8, 12. The 12 has both marks.
Example
For parents
What does this exercise practice?

Common pitfalls
Children sometimes mark every number with the same sign. Make sure each step size keeps its own sign.
How to practice at home
Write down the numbers from 1 to 20. Count together in twos and fives and mark the hits.
