Math

• The 4-year-old student can understand and use basic mathematical vocabulary, such as "more," "less," "big," "small," and "equal."
• Through the activity, the student has developed the ability to count objects up to 10 and recognize numbers 1-10 when spoken aloud.
• The student has begun to understand simple addition and subtraction concepts through verbal cues, such as adding or taking away items during the activity.
• Engaging in the activity has also helped the student develop an understanding of basic shapes and patterns through verbal descriptions and discussions.

For continued development in math, encourage the 4-year-old to explore real-life activities involving counting and measurement, such as baking, sorting and arranging objects, and playing simple number games. Utilize everyday opportunities, like counting fruit at the grocery store or comparing sizes of items, to reinforce mathematical concepts through listening and speaking.
