CBSEClass 1 • Math Magic
Gap Identified
Worksheets focus on filling blanks, but order is taught as memorization, not relationship. Children count from 1 every time instead of knowing neighbours.

⚠️ Language Discipline (Critical!)
✅ SAY:
"Just before" / "just after"
"Neighbour" / "next door"
"One step forward" / "one step back"
❌ AVOID (for now):
"Plus one" / "minus one"
"Add" / "subtract"
Counting from 1 every time
🏠 Home Activity
Play "Who's my neighbour?" — call out a number and ask child to quickly say who lives before and after. Make it a game, not a drill!
