• The child has practiced adding numbers using visual aids such as counters or number lines.
• They have also learned to apply addition and combination in solving word problems.

For continued development, encourage the child to practice addition and combination in real-life situations. For example, they can help in the kitchen by combining ingredients to make a recipe, or they can group their toys based on different characteristics. Additionally, you can provide them with more challenging word problems that require multiple steps of addition and combination to solve.
