Why it matters
Measuring well needs rules (equal units, no gaps or overlaps) that kids discover by lining things up. The calendar puts order into their own week.
The 5-week plan

- 2 Measuring with equal units Measuring with equal units, no gaps.
- 3 The days of the week The days of the week.
- 4 Yesterday, today and tomorrow Yesterday, today and tomorrow.
- 5 Island review Pipo makes mistakes with everything from the island, then a mix, and the Big game (the check-up).
By the end of the island, your child will be able to…
- Compare by two attributes
- Measure with equal units and no gaps
- Use the days of the week and yesterday, today and tomorrow
