Math
- Eleanor has learned the concept of counting and numeral recognition by counting blocks individually and understanding the correspondences between the number words and the amounts represented by the blocks.
- She has developed problem-solving skills by arranging the blocks in different patterns and structures, which involves spatial reasoning and basic geometry.
- The activity has also helped her understand basic addition and subtraction as she combines or removes blocks from her structures, developing an intuitive understanding of the operations.
Continued development can involve introducing more complex patterns or structures to build with the blocks, encouraging Eleanor to count larger quantities and introducing basic multiplication through repeated addition.
