How Parents Can Use This Practice

Ask your child to name the shared feature, such as same color, same shape, or same kind of figure.

  • Keep practice sessions short and positive.
  • Ask your child to explain the pattern or relationship in simple words.
  • Use missed questions to talk through the reasoning step, not just the answer.
