Some activities you can do with your child now
- Ask your child to collect different items from around the house, like toys or books, and compare the quantities using greater than, lesser than, and equal to concepts. - Encourage your child to count and compare the number of items they have with the help of visual aids, just like Shawnee and Tucko did with their art supplies. - Create simple math problems for your child using numbers similar to those in the video, such as "If you have 15 toys and your friend has 10 toys, who has more?" - Engage your child in an art activity where they can create their own artwork using the collected items, reinforcing the math concepts learned while being creative.
