  29. How to Encourage Mathematical Thinking • Use Language. There is no language in 2+2, but there is language in our daily lives & the mathematical problems we solve, e.g., “I have 2 hands and you have 2 hands. How many hands do we have altogether?” • Reason about Mathematical Concepts. “If there are 3 cookies and I eat 1, will there be more or less cookies? Can you explain why?” • Develop Logical Thinking. “Mr. Squirrel is hiding nuts for the winter. He hid fewer than 10 nuts, but more than 7 nuts. He didn’t hide 9 nuts, so how many nuts did he hide?”
