Map of zoo

Math

• The child has learned to identify different shapes on the map, such as squares, rectangles, and circles.
• They have also learned how to count the number of animals in each exhibit on the map.
• The child has practiced measuring distances between different exhibits on the map using a ruler.
• They have learned to calculate the total number of animals in the zoo by adding up the numbers in each exhibit.

Continued development can be encouraged by having the child create their own map of a zoo or another location using different shapes and objects. They can also be challenged to solve math problems related to the zoo, such as calculating the average number of animals per exhibit or finding the difference in the number of animals between two exhibits.
