    This document provides suggestions for using toy animals and habitats to support a child's math development. It recommends inviting the child to create enclosures for their toy animals using blocks, tiles, and cardboard. As the child builds, parents can ask questions to help the child think about mathematical concepts like size, shape, pattern, and quantity. The child's creations can then be discussed, computed, and edited to problem solve issues like poor fits or instability. Notetaking during play can document quantities used.

    Animals!

    Can I support their Math Development?


    Use blocks, MagnaTiles,
    cardboard and more to
    INVITE YOUR CHILD TO create habitats
    1 CREATE HABITATS FOR THEIR TOY
    ANIMALS If you have enclosures
    for pets at home, use
    them as guidance!

    “I wonder how big you


    think this should be…”
    “Do you think it should
    be tall or wide?”

    “What kind of shapes


    HELP YOUR CHILD THINK THROUGH
    MATHEMATICAL CONCEPTS FIRST 2
    will it need? Why?”
    “What kind of design
    could it have? Could
    the outside have a “Hmm. The animal
    pattern?” doesn’t fit. What can
    we do?”
    “How many more
    blocks do we need?
    How do you know?”
    3 BUILD, DISCUSS, COMPUTE, EDIT
    “It’s coming apart. Is
    there a different shape
    block that might make
    it sturdier?”
    “Can you talk about
    how and why the lion
    habitat is different
    than the rabbit one?”
    Have
    notepads and utensils around the house
    to document numerals/quantities as part of their
    play. For example, “Oh, you needed 8 blocks to
    build that, I think I’m going to jot that Math
    down.” Tip
