- Counting: The child learned to count objects by touching and moving them around.
- Sorting: The child sorted the manipulatives by color, shape, and size.
- Patterning: The child created patterns using the manipulatives.
- Measurement: The child compared the size of different manipulatives and learned the concept of big and small.
For continued development, parents can introduce more complex math manipulatives such as pattern blocks, tangrams, and attribute blocks. They can also encourage the child to create their own patterns and designs using the manipulatives.
