We are working hard every day to weave in some practice with time, money and measurement. These are easy skills to reinforce at home too. Get creative and explore these concepts with your child.
Use non standard forms of measurement as well as tradiional forms of measurement:
- How many paper clips long do you think the cereal box is? Measure and find out.
- How many feet is to your mailbox? Why is it important to go heal to toe when measuring? Who will have the greater number of feet child or adult and why?
- How many feet is it around your house? Is it great than or less than the steps to the mail box?
Ask your child to read both analog and digital clocks. It the digital clock reads 4:25, ask your child to tell you where the hands would be on the analog clock and vise versa.
Hand your child change and ask them to count it. Give them an amount and have them make that amount three ways.
