What Skills Can Your Children Learn And Practice?
When playing this fun community helper math game, your children will have the chance to practice and develop skills such as:
- Counting skills – they’ll have to count the things carefully to ensure they are matching it to the correct number card
- Number recognition – they’ll need to be able to recognize the numbers to match them up correctly
- One to one correspondence – this important skill (trickier than you may think) is the ability to only touch and count an object of a set once
- Fine motor skills – they will have to use a good pincer grip to pick up the cards
- Hand-eye coordination – to ensure they can move and place the cards together
