Math
- The child has learned basic counting and number recognition through tactile exploration of the maths links.

- By grouping the links into sets, the child is introduced to the concept of making and recognizing patterns.
- Exploring different ways to combine the links also introduces basic concepts of addition and subtraction.
Encourage the child to continue playing with the maths links by introducing more complex patterns and shapes. You can also use the links to demonstrate simple addition and subtraction problems, and let the child explore and find the solutions.
