Ordinal: The number is used to indicate the order of things in a set, ie. 1 comes before 2, 3 comes after 2. They show the rank or position, eg. First (1st), Second (2nd), Third (3rd), etc.
Cardinal: The number is used to indicate quantity. It answers the question of "how many?". This is normally the result of counting, eg. 3 apples, 10 rabbits, 1 me.
Ordinal: The number is used as an identity. Eg. My home block number is 27. My birthday is on 5 Feb. My telephone number is 67654321. My favorite bus is No. 197.
Compare:
Quantity: More, equal, less
Size: Bigger, same size, smaller
Length: Taller (longer), same height (length), shorter
Weight: Heavier, same weight, lighter
Speed: Faster, same speed, slower
Time:
7 o'clock in the Morning, 12 o'clock in the Afternoon, 7 o'clock at Night

5-6 years old :
Perform simple addition and subtraction of totals up to 10
Understand addition bonds:
10 = 1+9 = 2+8 = 3+7 = 4+6 = 5+5 = 6+4 = 7+3 = 8+2 = 9+1
9 = 1+8 = 2+7 = 3+6 = 4+5 = 5+4 = 6+3 = 7+2 = 8+1
8 = 1+7 = 2+6 = 3+5 = 4+4 = 5+3 = 6+2 = 7+1
...
Simple number series
eg. 1, 3, 5, 7, ... (odd numbers)
eg. 5, 10, 15, 20, ... (5's)

Caden is not officially 5 yrs old yet, so I will use the 3-4 yr to benchmark his progress:

English:
Understand phonetic sounds of all 26 alphabets (pass)
Write all 26 alphabets (pass)
Identify the starting letter of words (pass)
Spell simple short words (pass)
Read simple sentences(pass)

maybe going 1 step further:

Blend phonetic sounds of combinations of letters (learning now)
Read simple books (pass)
Formulate and write simple English sentences (not there yet!)
Verbalize answers to picture comprehension (only good with his fav cartoons!)

Math:
Write the 10 numeral digits Finger math (show 0 to 9 using fingers) - PASS
Count objects up to 100 Count down from 20 Differentiate between ordinal, cardinal and nominal numbers (pass) - He remembers all our mobile numbers!
Compare: Quantity: More, equal, less Size: Bigger, same size, smaller Length: Taller (longer), same height (length), shorter Weight: Heavier, same weight, lighter Speed: Faster, same speed, slower (pass)
Time: 7 o'clock in the Morning, 12 o'clock in the Afternoon, 7 o'clock at Night - Caden only knows Okto starts at 9am every Sat and Sun morning and his fav Power Rangers is at 1030am.

Ethan - quite on track since he falls within the 1-2 yrs cat.
