For continued development, encourage the child to explore larger numbers and more complex place value concepts. They can practice writing and reading numbers with more digits, and extend their understanding to include decimal place value. Additionally, they can use manipulatives, such as base-ten blocks or place value charts, to reinforce their understanding of place value.
