The other day the students and I worked on a Graph of the different ways that everyone comes to school. The children all seemed to enjoy the graphing strategy of using sponges with their names to stack in the column that works for them. After we stacked our sponges the children were able to participate in a discussion with me about which column had the most and the least, as well as how many more one column had over the other. I think the children really enjoyed the fact that they could touch and count the sponges that made up our graph. Way to go!
If you are looking for something to work on at home with your child, I would recommend counting objects, especially groups of objects. Then when they are comfortable with the counting of each object you could practice comparing the groups to see which one has more and less.
