Learning Tip: Number safari

Challenge your child’s number sense by embarking on a number safari! Call out a number and ask your child to find an object or set of objects that represent that number. The number 4 might be the kitchen table with four legs. The number 2 might be a set of salt and pepper shakers.
Extend the safari throughout the house. For example, have your child find representations of the number 3 in each room. The more he plays the game, the more he hones his math skills, associating abstract numbers with concrete objects.
