Before & After
Earlier this week we introduced the concept of before and after to your child. If you have not already purchased number flashcards, you can create your own (see the link below!).
First, you will need to mix the numbers up and have your child organize them as a number line. Then, explain to them that 1 comes before 2, 2 comes before 3, etc. Then, do the same with "after" - 2 comes after 1, 3 comes after 2, etc.
Check their understanding by asking them questions like "what comes after 8?"
Estimated Time: 45-60 Minutes
