Math
- The child will learn basic addition and subtraction through hands-on activities and manipulatives.
- They will understand the concept of counting and cardinality by practicing counting objects and recognizing numbers.
- They will explore shapes and their attributes, identifying and describing them.
- The child will learn about patterns and sequencing by creating and extending patterns using various materials.
Continued development in math can be fostered by incorporating real-life examples into daily activities. For example, during grocery shopping, let the child count and add up the number of items in the cart. Encourage them to identify different shapes they come across in their surroundings. Additionally, you can play games that involve patterns and sequencing, such as making a pattern with colored blocks or arranging objects in a specific order.
