Creative Math Activity – Matching Numbers to Number Names.
Our LKG children participated in a fun and engaging math activity on 18.02.26 Wednesday to reinforce the concept of matching numbers with their number names.

This hands-on activity helped the children:
Strengthen number recognition skills
Develop counting ability
Improve reading of number names
Enhance focus and confidence
Learn through play in an interactive way
The children thoroughly enjoyed the activity and actively participated with great enthusiasm. Learning truly became fun through this creative and practical approach!
