Great realization! I often think about how much math we “leave on the table” with early years learners. We tend to limit their math experiences to counting and only sometimes work in some additive thinking. I’m now using small quantities to talk fractionally and multiplicatively. They are so capable of thinking of complex mathematics if we help nudge them there.
