She finally grasps the idea that if she counts the cubes to the number 6, and when I asked “How many?” the answer would be “6″. Teaching her to count from 1-20 is so much easier then getting her to understand the concept of quantity.

It has been many many months of counting cubes, pictures, sweets and whatever comes along the way, but whenever I asked her “How many?”, she would said “3″. Because that was the answer to the question when I first introduced quantity to her. Then she started randomly giving me other numbers, since “3″ was always the wrong answer.

Some wonderful brain synapses must have been formed this morning since she miraculously counted the cubes and was able to tell me the corresponding numbers. Baby steps, but I am more confident she wouldn’t be totally clueless about quantity now.
