- Counted the number of baby dolls
- Identified and named different colors of baby dolls
- Sorted the baby dolls based on their characteristics (e.g., hair color, eye color)
- Grouped the baby dolls into sets based on their attributes
- Compared the sizes of the baby dolls (e.g., big, small)
- Used positional language (e.g., next to, beside) while playing with the baby dolls
Continued development can be encouraged by:
- Introducing simple addition and subtraction concepts by asking the child to add or remove baby dolls from a group.
- Creating patterns with the baby dolls and asking the child to continue the pattern.
- Introducing measurement concepts by comparing the heights or weights of the baby dolls using non-standard units (e.g., blocks, paperclips).
- Encouraging the child to create their own stories or scenarios involving the baby dolls, which can involve counting, sorting, and other math concepts.
