Parent-Support
- Exposure to number bonds and 4 operations :
Eg. Playing card games, use real objects to show
4 operations, articulate objects instead of
abstract numbers for 4 operations, count in
steps of 2, 3 and other multiplication tables

Eg. At the supermarket, help children be aware of
prices and change received, mass of canned
food , drinks, estimated mass and length of
objects, etc.
Be aware of the shapes and patterns of things
around them.
