Tips on how to use this exercise at home and at school.
Early math concepts
In this exercise, we are trying to make a child passively use the relationships: n more than and n fewer than. We are comparing two objects, so it is a number in the sense of not a number, but a comparison of two objects. The child already expresses the difference in a number.
Why is this exercise important?
When comparing quantities, the child uses the matching skills they already know. By forming pairs, we allow the child to form an idea and understand the relationships: n more than/n fewer than. At this point, the numerical expression "How much more or less?" is added. The number now also has the meaning of comparison or change.
Who is this exercise suitable for?
Generally belongs in preschool or early school play. In addition to number concepts, and reasoning assumptions, it also develops language skills at the same time.
