Grown-up sheet · Level 2 · Market Island · Big game
This is the last island of Level 2.
How to use it
- Watch the video together with your child. Don't give them the answer. If they stay quiet, wait for Pipo to say it.
- For each challenge, mark just one box:
- ✓ if they answered on their own, before the circle emptied.
- ½ if they answered late or with help.
- ✗ if they didn't answer or got it wrong.
- Pause the video to write things down if you need to.
- At the end, look at the "What to review?" table.
What to watch for on this island:
- Two clues at once: the typical mistake is checking only one clue ("red circle" → they point at anything red). If they get it right but hesitate between two, ask: "Is it red? Is it a circle?"
- Sorting and counting: ideally they wait for the groups to separate and count just one row. If they count everything together, they're not using the groups yet.
- Picture graphs: ideally they compare how tall the columns are without counting. Counting is fine too, just slower.

What to review?
Rule: a block is mastered if the child got at least one challenge with ✓ and none with ✗.

|---|---|---|

| · | Picture graphs 5–6 | Stop 3: "Learn" and "Play" (M14-S3-A, M14-S3-J1) |
| · | Fewest to most 7–8 | Stop 4: "Learn" and "Play" (M14-S4-A, M14-S4-J1) |
| · | Pipo made a mistake! 9–10 | Stop 5: "Learn" and "Play" (M14-S5-A, M14-S5-J1) |
What to do next:
- Everything mastered: Level 2 is done! Before Level 3, revisit the check-ups of any island where you marked ½.
- One block not mastered: rewatch those videos for 2 or 3 days.
- Two or more blocks not mastered: it's worth spending one more week on this island.
Common mistakes at this age:
- Using only one clue (challenges 1 and 2). Play "I spy" with two clues: "I spy something red and round."
- Counting without sorting (challenges 3 and 4): they skip or repeat one. With real objects, have them make little piles first and then count each pile.
- Picking the widest column or the middle one (challenges 5 to 8). With block towers: "Which one is the tallest?"
- Mixing up "last" with "on the right" (challenge 8): marking ½ is normal. Line up toys on the table and say "first the one with the fewest".
