What Does "Represent Numbers" Mean?
Numbers are all around us!
Representing numbers means showing them in different ways. We can use fingers, objects, pictures, or even sounds to show how many things there are. Today we'll learn to show numbers up to 5 in lots of fun ways!

Parent Tips 🌟
- Count everything: Turn daily activities into counting games - count stairs, toys, or snacks together.
- Use fingers and body: Have your child show numbers on their fingers or jump the correct number of times.
- Make it multisensory: Draw numbers in sand, form them with playdough, or clap the number of times to reinforce learning.
