Yes my kiddos love to count our soft colorful blocks to see how high they can build. My toddlers have learned to count to 10 by playing “hide and seek”!

I think this is really great and beneficial to know since it will help children to learn more on their own.

At snack time, I always ask the children how many of certain items they want, or tell them they can take a certain number of items, and we do this without counting to reinforce subitizing

For example if we are sitting with the child and we are stacking blocks, we will count each block as we stack it. We also encourage the children to use the words or signs for more and all-done at meals.

I agree that children learn so much about math in everyday activities in the classroom and at home.
