- Counting: The child counted the number of tears in each jar and added them up to find the total number of tears.
- Subtraction: The child subtracted the number of tears in each jar from the total number of tears to find the number of tears missing.
- Measurement: The child measured the height and width of each jar to compare their sizes.
- Graphing: The child created a bar graph to show the number of tears in each jar.
For continued development, the child can:
- Create their own tear jars with different amounts of tears and practice counting, adding, and subtracting.
- Use different objects to fill the jars and practice measuring their height and width.
- Create more complex graphs with different types of data.
