Kristin,

Thank you for your message. It would be correct for your daughter to select the item at the left first just as if she was reading, left to right.

Don't worry about the concept of place value and looking at the right first. Your daughter was correct by choosing the left as the first one, she is following the RightStart way of thinking.

I hope this helps, please let me know if there is anything else we can help with.

Make it a great day,


Cassie
