Guess If You Can
What to do:
- Let your child think of a number between a stated range of numbers while you try to guess the number by asking questions. Here is a sample conversation.
Child: I am thinking of a number between 1 and 100.
Parent: Is it more than 50?
Child: No.
Parent: Is it an even number?
Child: No.
Parent: Is it more than 20 but less than 40?
Child: Yes.
Parent: Can you reach it by starting at zero and counting by 3's?
Child: Yes.
(At this stage, your child could be thinking of 21, 27, 33, or 39.)
- Figure out the answers to your own questions.
- After you have guessed your child's number, let your child guess a number from you by asking similar questions.
Parent tip:
It is important to help children develop an understanding of the characteristics and meanings of numbers.
