Question

Every day your center lets one student (the “snack helper”) choose what snack the children will have from a list of snacks approved by parents and staff. Today Amaya, an 18-month-old, is the snack helper, and she chooses animal crackers. They are her favorite snack, so she eats hers quickly. Soon, she has two left, and Jamal to her right, a two-year-old, has five left. Amaya notices this and asks for more. What numerical concept is she picking up on?

The numerical concept that Amaya is picking up on is **quantities**. She is aware of the amount of snacks left and is comparing her quantity of animal crackers to Jamal's.
