question 17 of 20
which of the following activities supports social and emotional development in toddlers?
placing a child in \time out\ to think about their behavior
using redirection to help end tantrums
rewarding children who win at games
responding to children’s cooing and babbling

Explanation:

For the first question: Direction/positional words build spatial reasoning (math), counting builds number sense, subtraction BINGO practices arithmetic, and dramatic play with geometry applies math concepts—all support mathematical thinking. For the second question: Redirection teaches emotional regulation, and responding to cooing/babbling builds secure attachment, both fostering social-emotional development. Time-out may not be constructive for toddlers, and rewarding winners can harm self-esteem.

Answer:

All options (Learning direction and positional words during a game of "Simon Says", Practicing counting up to ten by pointing to objects, Playing "Subtraction BINGO" to practice arithmetic, Using dramatic play scenarios to apply the knowledge of geometrical concepts) support mathematical thinking in school-agers; Using redirection to help end tantrums and Responding to children’s cooing and babbling support social and emotional development in toddlers.
