Introduction:
The child that we did our project on is Carly Coella. She is three and a half years old, and her birthday is May 23rd. Both of her parents are teachers in the Bourne school system. The Coella family lives in Sagamore Beach. They have a very close bond with one another as well as their extended family. Carly is very social and has many friends in her preschool class. The family is very involved in the community. She is an only child and has a bunny named Fluffy. Carly is very independent, if she wants to do something she will. She is also stubborn and tries to get her way. She has whiny melt downs when she gets angry. Carly seems to have a stronger attachment to her mother opposed to her …show more content…
When we told Carly to form a line of raisins with the same number of raisins that we used to form ours, she lined hers up right under our line. When we stretched out our line of raisins and asked her if we had the same number and she said no, we then asked “who has more?” she answered and said that she had more. We expected her response to be the opposite when answering this question. When we asked her to fix the pile to make them both equal, she was confused and pushed the piles together. Since she’s still young in age, she doesn’t fully grasp the concept of numbers and counting because of the law of conservation. In this experiment, Carly’s response’s might have been influenced by her mother’s presence in the room because when we asked her questions, she’d look up at her before she answered as if she was looking for clarification. When she did answer the question, she would answer to her mom and not …show more content…
She placed them back in their designated spots. When we asked her why the pieces belonged there, she began to second guess herself and scrambled up all of the strips. When we asked her to line all of the stips up in order from biggest to smallest, she put the six inch strip first, then the five inch, then the three inch, followed by the four inch, and then the two inch strip. Carly understood what strips were the longest and which strips were the shortest but didn’t understand the order of the middle length strips. For this experiment Carly’s mom was not in the room so she didn’t have anyone else to look to for answers or to give her confidence that her answer was
