Full and Empty - How to teach this concept easily to children

Full And Empty



Young children are introduced to pre-mathematics concepts as it helps the young minds to explore and develop an understanding of the world around them. 
These concepts are used by us in our everyday life to sort, count, measure and analyze. 
In fact, children start developing these pre-mathematical skills, without even realizing, when they are still little munchkins exploring their environment. 
Activities like sorting and organizing, drawing, playing with building blocks, etc., help children develop pre-mathematical skills.
