Dear Parents,
Learning mathematics is as important as learning to read. Studies show that math skills assist children In learning to read. Because children are curious about math from the youngest years, math activities are embraced enthusiastically. Activities such as classifying shapes help develop language, vocabulary, and logic. Children can be directed while playing to talk about mathematical concepts such as differences In block sizes, shapes, and colors (I.e.: how many of the smaller blocks does It take to equal a larger one). All these activities help develop reasoning skills.
Other activities further develop mathematical thinking. For example, stringing beads can be Incorporated Into a lesson In patterning and sequencing. Reading a story about small, medium, and large (I.e.: Goldilocks and the Three Bears) Introduces new vocabulary, ordering, and spatial relations.
There are many toys on the market, or better still, objects around the house that can help your child develop a mathematical sense. Using an egg carton, you can have your child sort objects (buttons, dry pasta, beads, crayons, etc.) by size, color, or shape. Patterning can be fun with beads of varying sizes and shapes. Shape or number bingo, measuring and cooking activities further develop mathematical awareness.
Mathematical literacy Is an essential skill In today's world. When you help your child see math In his everyday surroundings, you help him develop logic and reasoning skills crucial for math and science literacy.
For activities that develop your child's math skills, ask your child's teacher for suggestions. The following websites offer fun math activities for preschoolers:
