Remembrance Day: talk to your child a bit about remembering and honoring those who helped keep us safe and free.

Math
Comparing Quantities: More and Fewer

Have your child roll two dotted dice. Have then say the amount on each dice and then get them to tell you which one has more dots, which one has fewer dots or if they have the same amount.
You can also have them compare quantities by holding up fingers on both of your hands and having them to tell you which one has more, which one has fewer, or if they have the same amount.
