HOW YOU CAN HELP SUPPORT LEARNING

• Prompt your child’s counting when the two of you count things you see or the steps you take.
• Count objects one by one, and then state the number that tells how many altogether to help your child’s comprehension of number value.
• Move or separate objects and show your child that the total number stays the same. This concept is called the conservation of number.
