Matching Quantity with Child 3
A child produces a small set of counters to match a shown quantity.
Why is this important?
What a strong sense of number! Notice how she produces an equivalent set without copying the arrangement she was shown–good evidence that she has mental constructs for the quantities of three, four, and five.
