Activities included estimating and measuring lengths of sticks, creating geometric patterns with natural materials, and solving real-life word problems about distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This interactive approach not only deepened their mathematical understanding but also enhanced teamwork, communication, and critical thinking. Children were highly engaged, applying their skills in meaningful, practical ways with parents who came along to participate in the session.
