Math

Math

• The child has learned to count from 1 to 10.
• They can recognize and identify basic shapes such as circles, squares, and triangles.
• The child has learned to compare numbers and identify which is greater or smaller.
• They can solve simple addition and subtraction problems within 10.

For continued development, encourage the child to practice counting objects in their environment. They can count how many toys they have or how many apples are in a bowl. This helps reinforce their number recognition skills. Additionally, engaging in hands-on activities such as building with blocks or playing with shape puzzles can further enhance their understanding of shapes. Encourage them to identify and name the shapes they encounter in everyday life. Finally, provide opportunities for the child to practice addition and subtraction through everyday situations. For example, they can help set the table by adding the number of plates needed or subtracting the number of cookies left in a jar.
