Built magnetic tower

Math

• The child learned about shapes and spatial reasoning as they stacked the magnetic blocks to build the tower.
• They practiced counting and number recognition as they counted the number of blocks used to build the tower.
• The child learned about measurement and comparison as they made the tower taller or shorter.
• They explored patterns and sequencing as they created different patterns with the colored blocks.

For continued development, encourage the child to explore different ways to build the tower using various shapes and sizes of magnetic blocks. They can also practice addition and subtraction by adding or removing blocks from the tower.
