Story Problems!
• Let’s solve some fun story problems! Make up a story and have the child use the baskets and surprise items to “act out” the answer. For example, “You’ve been playing for hours at the park.
It’s time for a snack. There are so many options! Let’s see. How about an orange ice pop
(number 2 basket) and a yellow cheese wedge (number 3 basket)? Which food represents the larger number? What do you get when you add the numbers together?” Repeat with more baskets and ever-more-elaborate stories!
What’s Missing?
• Play “What’s Missing?” to develop thinking and memory skills. Place four or five items in a line.
Have your child turn away while you remove one. When your child turns around, have them determine which item is missing.
