Helping at Home:
- Count with every day objects (think: steps,  number of items in the grocery cart)
-Have your child help sort laundry into piles
-Practice addition and subtraction with every day objects ("If I have 5 chips and add 4 more, how many do I have now?")
-Be on the lookout for geometric shapes and name them 
-Find ways to create lists and drawings and number them
