Maths

• The child learned place value and number sense through the manipulation of the number cards and by identifying the value of each digit in a number.
• They practiced addition and subtraction by creating their own number sentences and solving them using the number cards.
• The child understood the concept of multiplication as they used the number cards to create arrays and find the total number of objects.
• They explored fractions by dividing the number cards into equal parts and understanding the concept of a fraction as a part of a whole.

As a continued development, consider incorporating real-life examples of math concepts, such as measuring ingredients while baking or calculating distances on a map during a road trip. Encourage the child to create their own math problems and puzzles to challenge their understanding of the concepts they have learned. Additionally, using math-related games and interactive tools can make learning more engaging and enjoyable for the child.
