Math
- The child learned the concept of division by sharing a set of objects equally among friends.

One creative way to continue developing the concept of sharing in math is to involve the child in real-life scenarios where they need to divide items fairly amongst family members or friends, such as sharing a pizza or dividing snacks equally. This practical application will reinforce their understanding of division and fractions in a tangible way.
