Math
- The child learned the concept of place value by using place value blocks to represent numbers. They understand that each digit in a number holds a different place value.
- They learned to count and represent numbers up to 100 using the place value blocks.
- They practiced regrouping or exchanging blocks when counting numbers beyond 9 in a specific place value.
- They learned to compare numbers using the blocks, understanding that a larger number has more blocks in each place value.
Continued development can be encouraged by introducing larger numbers and challenging the child to represent them using place value blocks. You can also create number patterns and have the child use the blocks to continue the pattern. Additionally, you can incorporate addition and subtraction activities using the blocks to reinforce the concept of regrouping.
