Counting to 4

Math

• The child has learned to count from 1 to 4.
• They can recognize and identify the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4.
• The child can demonstrate one-to-one correspondence by matching objects to the corresponding number.
• They can sequence the numbers in ascending order from 1 to 4.

For continued development, you can encourage the child to practice counting to 4 in different contexts. This can be done through games, such as counting the number of toys they have or the number of steps they take. You can also introduce simple addition and subtraction by using objects and asking them to add or remove a certain number of items from a group.
