- Counted the number of items to be stocked
- Sorted items by category (e.g. fruits, vegetables, canned goods)
- Identified and matched product labels to corresponding shelves
- Estimated the amount of space needed for each item on the shelf
- Measured the weight of items to ensure proper placement on shelves
Continued development in math can be encouraged by:
- Playing games that involve counting and sorting objects
- Practicing addition and subtraction with everyday items (e.g. counting how many apples are left in a bag after eating some)
- Introducing basic concepts of measurement (e.g. length, weight, volume) through hands-on activities such as baking or building with blocks
- Encouraging problem-solving skills through puzzles and games that require logical thinking
