Math
- The child learned about the concept of magnetism and how magnets attract or repel each other.
- They practiced sorting and classifying objects based on their magnetic properties.
- They experimented with different combinations of magnets to understand how magnetic fields interact.
- The child used measurement skills to compare the strength of magnets and determine which ones were stronger.
Continued development: Encourage the child to explore more complex structures using magnets, such as building bridges or towers. They can also experiment with different materials to see which ones are attracted to magnets and which ones are not.
