Use picture books to help your child understand the quantity

Have a go at trying to identify quantities while reading a book. The Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle is a terrific book for discussing quantities as you can discuss all the different foods the caterpillar eats. See if you can describe which foods he eats the most. Make comments about the size of the food and the amounts as this all supports awareness of quantities.
