Today, Rachel and I ventured to pick up her lego in the basement. I told her she had to do it. This was not a universally loved idea. She managed to get some of the blocks in the bin, but was having trouble doing it all. So, I suggested we play a game. I got a sheet of paper and drew to big boxes, put a "+" between them and an "=" after. Then, I put lego blocks in each box and we did addition. After she solved the math equation, she put the blocks in the bin. She was doing so well that I added another feature. After counting the blocks, we put the actual number underneath them so we could see the actual math equation.
All I can say is wow. I had no idea she had caught on to basic addition as well as she has.
Plus, we got all the lego picked up. Win-Win.
Oh, and she can now count easily to 30. Again, we were surprised to hear her do this yesterday, out of the blue.
