Dakota
We're home for about 20 minutes before dinner. Any ideas for Maya?
Based on Maya's Starting Snapshot, Math is useful to begin with. Before dinner, you could count one place setting per person, sort utensils by type, or make a simple repeating napkin pattern. If you're not setting the table, tell me what dinner looks like and I'll adapt.
We're getting pizza.
Perfect. When it arrives, ask Maya to touch each slice once as she counts. Then ask, "How many slices are there altogether?"
That works.
Great. I'll check back once after dinner.
About 25 minutes later
How did the pizza counting go—did Maya try it, or did plans change?
She said eight but skipped one.
Great photo—thanks for sending it. What happened when you asked her to check?
She went back, touched each slice once, and counted all eight in English. About six minutes.
Saved: Maya touched each pizza slice once and counted all eight in English for about 6 focused minutes. She skipped one at first, then recounted accurately with a prompt.
