learning goals

Math

• The child has learned to recognize and write numbers up to 10.
• They can count objects up to 10 and understand one-to-one correspondence.
• The child can identify basic shapes such as circles, squares, triangles, and rectangles.
• They have learned to compare objects based on size, identifying which is bigger or smaller.

For continued development in math, encourage the child to practice counting objects in their environment, such as toys or snacks. They can also create their own shape hunt by finding objects in their home that match different shapes. Additionally, playing simple board games that involve counting and recognizing numbers will reinforce their skills.
